Did you work in a team?
Just me. My daughter said she was gonna write some music for the game, but she's a bigger slacker than I am, so instead it's awful.
Was the resolution a challenge?
It shouldn't have been since I cheated and made a puzzle game. But it was because text is hard in 64x64 pixels.
What did you learn?
I learned that I have no talent for game design. That probably won't stop me from continuing to make terrible entries in game jams though.

What a complex game! I included it in my LowRezJam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
I have NO clue how to play this game, that being said, everything else about it seems very well made!
I felt like if this is something I knew anything about I'd have loved this.
I just couldnt quite grasp the and/or/nor truth table thing on the bottom, and how it translated to a color? All the information was very well displayed and the game looks great. Just not sure what to do with that information!
As said below, a tutorial would go miles :)
Very nice concept and a good implementation in terms of on-screen information. Missing maybe a tutorial to get the user started . Not sure but could it be your random colour cannot generate any of the outputs? I think I got one of these situations, if that’s a possibility I’d suggest to balance things out so the random colour and operation can always generate one of the outputs… nothing is worse than a puzzle you cannot solve ;) Nice entry!
Thank you!
The game actually does go through the random color/gate to make sure there’s at least one valid output. This is actually the reason I implemented the konami code cheat function, because I didn’t believe that logic was working and needed to verify it (turns out I’m just bad at my own game).
What a great idea for an educational game. I hate to admit that I don't know or apply many of the less common binary operators, and this is a nice way to familiarize myself with them. That's pretty sad as I am a programmer by trade.
I also hate to admit that I had to save this game for later, as it is kind of late and my brain is definitely too low on juice to properly play it.
I am wondering if a progressive series of tutorial challenges could help people get used to thinking this way, especially with colors.
Thank you! Yeah, I didn’t consider that, but starting with fewer gates and adding them one at a time would probably be a much better way to implement this.
I really love the idea in this game! It really makes me use my brain and honestly I'm pretty bad at being fast at this... The game is well designed and I love that you added a little table that reminds how the logic operators work. This concept has a lot of potential and I really loved it! Nicely done!
Thanks a lot! I’m also terrible at being fast. Originally that wasn’t part of the design, but I realized that was the only way to add a challenge.
Nicely implemented although it increased the intensity of the headache I had before starting the game :D

Dont be hard on yourself, I think this game is designed quite well for what it is!
Thanks!
