How it feels
You fiddle with a wonky, hand-drawn system where drawing shapes becomes programming, exploring what counts as computing in a playful, low-stakes way.

What players say
Players are split on whether its non-deterministic physics is a flaw or a minor annoyance, with many saying creativity is rewarded but optimization feels like gambling. The lack of an eraser tool and pixel-level controls frustrates builders, and the leaderboard encourages cheesy single-point solutions over clever designs.
