How it feels

A deeply engrossing puzzle game that mixes programming and spatial thinking, where you craft solutions from elegant designs to absurd contraptions that sputter to life.

What players say

Players compare it to early Zachtronics games like SpaceChem, praising the programming puzzles and tutorials. Many complain about the ugly cyan-heavy visuals, and some report it is abandoned, with crashes and inventory errors unresolved since the developer stopped support.
