This game is really good. It scratches the itch in my brain that I didn't know needs scratching. Such an amazing experience.

Oops! I don't know if I beat the game or if it crashed after I beat level 4! Nice execution of this concept.  The lights on the display board got a little out of sync with the robot's commands, but it wasn't  hard to understand what was going on.  Nice little puzzles! I enjoyed playing this :)

There's actually a little cutscene after level 4 that takes a second or two to load! Thank you for the feedback and for playing our game! :D

Great concept, looks very polished. Getting the timing of the commands just right is quite tricky!

The ending animation was a nice touch to a short but enjoyable game.

Amazing game, the aesthetic and UI is great, the level design cleverly introduces each command so that it is clear what you're supposed to do with it. More levels would have been nice, and i'm sure that there is potential for more commands, but taking into account limited time there was for the gamejam, everything in the game is really polished, and little details like the ending cutscene make it even better

Remenisent of old browser games. It would be one of those legendary games that you'd play as a 8 year old (nostalgic I mean). Liked the "cosmic" visuals.

Cool game!  I liked that you decided to double down on the theme and make the level into a loop, also the music when you hit play was a bop.

OMG this concept is really something else! I love the direction you all went with this game! I hope you all can explore this theme more later!!

Submitted(+1)

WHATTTT the concept is so unique!!! I loved the artwork and atmosphere. Some levels could use more tinkering but amazing job for such a short time
