it was a little tricky to figure out since it wasn't clear that block 2 went on top, but once it worked it worked
i did have issues alt-tabbing and coming back which made it frustrating
it's a cool concept and was fun when it worked though

I could not play this game. It seems to be broken. Settings menu is broken, in the first level robots can't move up, so they can't reach the goal. Also ui seems to allow two commands to overlap, but does not show that this is not a bug

hi, thanks for trying to play my game. i probably should have made the mechanic needed for the first level clearer, my fault. The commands aren’t supposed to overlap so, thats a bug, oof. I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the settings menu? I know the music is bugged but I can’t seem to fix it. Is there some other bug there? thanks, again!

About settings menu: If you try to adjust volume it immediately takes you out of settings menu.

cute idea and nice game! the UI surrounding the game is kind of buggy / unclear at times.

I really like this idea! being bonded by code blocks and needing to climb over each block to solve puzzles feels like you're solving unique puzzles. Having pauses and replays rather than a hard reset helps solutions feel unique and self-discovered over a cold hard single outcome in other puzzles! Great job!

Similar mechanic to some other games, but it feels fresh. Fun!

This is nice! I feel that the ability to stop the code chain, edit it, and continue defeats some of the puzzle aspects of the game, but the concept is neat, the sound design is snappy (hehe) and it's overall really charming! Nice work!

I will also note I encountered a bug where if you return to the menu, the music starts overlapping with itself.
