I wish the programming screen is a bit transparent to see the map, also i hope it wouldn't erase all when I restart it. Even though it's a bit simple, I still liked this game and had a fun! Nice work!

This is pretty neat. I do wish there was more of a tutorial with limited things to do so that it can teach me, but overall I think it looks cute and is a nice puzzle game. Needs sound!
Really amazing idea, once I got the hang of it. Could have done with some music or sound, but the visuals were nice and it played well!
Nice game ! plays well !
Little feedback : maybe had some transparency to the punch cards when you open them so you can still see the levels and don't have to toggle them too much.
Appart from that solid implementation ! good work :)
The Game Is Funky, The Controls Aren't That Great. That Game Idea Is Fun. I Like Playing The Game Even With Its Funky Controls. Good Idea And Work! Hope You Keep Making Games And Having Fun!
I like the concept, but for me the music and sounds would be a great addition and a little tutorial would be nice too. The graphics are really clean though!
It's a nice concept but it needs a bit more work to be really enjoyable.
- Actions are pretty limited: movements "only" (even if you can check multiple actions per row to do diagonal movements)
- No sound/music, it would have been great :)
- When programming panels are opened, we cannot see 1/3 of the map (per panel): it's a bit uncomfortable to program the robots' path without seeing the map (lil transparency here would have been enough)
- No animation so far, a bit of that would have given more life to the rigid scene
This game was pretty fun. I like how you have to make them move with the punch cards and that you have to have a good memory when filling out the punch cards. Nice work! the only downfall is that you don't have any sound to make it feel more like a game. I hope you keep at it and build more for everyone to enjoy.
A charming little game!
Sounds would be lovely, as would be more animation on the robots. I feel like you've got solid mechanics, and a little more juice would really take it to the next level.
I really appreciated the grid in the background, once I noticed it.
Fun idea and has lots of potential! I know it's a jam game but i wish the boards had some kinda shortcut to open and close or maybe off the game screen cause i kept having to close them to see what was going on. Well done :)
Awesome idea for a game! loved how you had to program the robots to perform the tasks at hand. had a little trouble with lvl 3 but a good game from what I was able to play. Nice job

Game isn't scaled properly :(
Pretty good! Robots probably shouldn't be able to jump in the air though. Makes some of the levels too easy. Would be nice if the punch cards saved what you had when you restart so you can tweak it instead of remaking the whole thing.
