Bro. I'm obsessed with this. I spent a good 2-2.5 hours on a trot with this. This was one of those things I always wanted to learn a lot about and this was just perfect for that. It wasn't that easy, I really struggled and gave up on some levels but came back and struggled through them. The HexRacer type levels are difficult and I wish I could skip through those.

Also when you give a solution, you probably need an explanation of why that works.

Can't wait till you add the additional coming soon levels.

Your feedback feature seems broken. I tried giving feedback about some basic bugs and it kept saying can't send message.

Please also add a waitlist to notify when you release the additional levels.



I adore this genre, and if you enjoy this submission I'd recommend the following games:

    NANDgame ( Free! https://nandgame.com/ )
    Silicon Zeroes ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/684270/Silicon_Zeroes/ )
    Turing Complete ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/ )
    Human Resource Machine / 7 Billion Humans ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/792100/7_Billion_Humans/ )
    MHRD ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/ )
They're all slightly different in terms how the construction of a computer is pitched, none of them are perfect, they all have quirks and flaws, but they're all fun.

Some like Human Resource Machine take the approachof

I wish Turing Complete wasn't quite so buggy or awkward, for a while it was by far the most promising of the bunch, but it's never quite polished and it's ended up in a bit of frustrating state.

Notable mention also to The Signal State, Shenzhen I/O, and TIS100 which are higher level than this, but scratch a similar itch.

there's ones like TIS100 which I keep meaning to revisit, but I find it very difficult to get back into these games without starting from scratch, and resetting my TIS100 progress is too intimidating.
