How it feels

You write simple instructions that dumb robots try to follow, often failing comically, in a methodical puzzle game.

What players say

Players describe the game as a TAS-style puzzle where you tweak wait timers by fractions of a second. Many find it becomes tedious quickly and relies on trial and error more than logic. A few reviewers report frequent crashes that make the game unplayable.
