I really really dig this concept, I loved this puzzle. This is a fucking good game. You should definetly work on this and make it a full release after the jam. I really really enjoyed the game. However, allow me to share my critics that I think would make the game a better experiance:
- I think I used the relative commands (w, a, s, d, l, r, u) like 2 times on the entire game. Most of the game can be beaten with just the absolute commands (W,A,S,D). I would either remove the absolute commands or make more level where it can not be used that easily.
- I think the number of commands (15 I think) is too long, it would make a more interesing game if you could use less. Maybe that would also solve the relative vs absolute command issue.
- Instead of exiting every level after beating it there should be a next level.
- I think the edit loop button is unnecessary. I should be able to edit the commands until I click start loop.
- It would be nice if I can edit a command in the middle so I do not need to backspace a lot, by just adding an additional letter in the middle.
- Tutorial should be improved, I did not notice that I need to press the arrow to go to the next iteration. I spent some time thinking what I was doing wrong.
- I also think you shouldnt need to beat an iteration to see the other iterations. so you can kind pf plan ahead. Currently there was some trial and error, because I did not know where the next robot will be placed.
But anyway... amazing game and an amazing concept, I really really liked it.
