Cool game! indeed very similar to ours
I like the idea and i managed to get to level 12 (no cards :ppp)

Oh wow, this is one of the best puzzles I have seen in a jam ever! They are so well thought out, and with an optional challenge on top if that wasn't enough.

I really liked the concept of putting actions in a sequencer and letting it play as a starting point for the jam, so I am glad you executed it so well.

The only feedback I could give it would be related to the art, but we all know the constraints that we have on a jam.

Amazing entry, I enjoyed it greatly.

The puzzles are pretty fun and well designed! I like how the collectibles allow the player to determine their own difficulty.

Though I would prefer to be able to iterate more quickly as you often need trial and error to determine how far a given command will get you. So maybe the commands could be executed faster, and also there could be a way to start faster (e.g. press Space) instead of having to drag your mouse over to the tiny start button every time. A reset commands button would also help a lot, alongside a more generous dragging area as sometimes the blocks end up snapping back to the stack. Oh and also restarting the level shouldn't reset the commands but pretty sure that's due to time constraints.

Quality of life features aside, it's pretty cool! A classic game jam trope of programming characters, executed nicely. Well done!

Really fun concept that is executed very well! The visuals are nice and the puzzles are designed very well. Great job!

Such a nice use of theme to create a fun little puzzle platformer! Very well done!

Here's a video of my playthrough, which contains my feedback. I play your game at 2:24:34


Also, I realize that I spent so much time discussing the puzzle mechanics, I never got time to compliment the graphics, which are really nice! Great color palette and detailed backgrounds that don't overcrowd the main game elements.

I really enjoyed your take on the theme and the puzzles feel very rewarding to solve :)

Fun game! Nice use of the concept and clever level design!

Submitted

great game : D

The puzzles got surprisingly challenging when aiming for the blue keycard each level, nice work! Very fun spin on the programming "loop" theme.

Submitted

I love the artstyle! Great game!

Submitted

I really like the way you use the theme, and everything else is very well polish! The Mechanic of the Puzzle is very addictive, also!

Submitted

Great execution on the idea! this is one of the better loop command games i've seen.

Reminds me a lot of Light Bot (great game btw). We actually had an original initial idea close to this concept but ended up doing something else. When I finished the jam, I had the feeling that someone will make something similar, and I found this! I love the concept, good plan for the extra "card" for extra difficulty. Made me think many times.
Great game!

Crazy how many levels you got finished during the jam! And how much puzzle/gameplay you get from such few timeline slots amazes me. Quite addictive - love it!

Submitted

I love the fact that there are collectibles in the game :)

Plus, the fact that you can decide which levels to play is a really handy addition, well done!

And the way it fits in with the theme is also very apt.

The only thing I would change is the fact that it automatically sends you to the next level when you complete a room.

Thank you! There’s actually a 'Restart Level' button right under the 'Next Level' one when you complete a level. It does reset the command timeline, though.

Submitted

Very challenging levels, or maybe I'm just dumb. I like the idea of having looped instructions, great job dude!

Submitted

Like the idea and the puzzles

Nice puzzle design. I like the replayability and level selection!
