Had a short go. The first overflow is a great teaching moment: the log line "1 + 1 = 10. A bit fell off the end. I caught it." made the carry click for me straight away, and the green terminal look suits it. One question: the widen cost jumped from 10 to 40 after my first extra bit, which felt steep that early. Is the second bit meant to be a wall, or does it get easier once the first chip unlocks?
Hi there. Thanks for giving it a try. The idea is that widening becomes more expensive as you progress through the game. When you unlock the first chip, which flips bits for you, it will also unlock some buffs you can purchase to speed up your progress. You should be able to reach a good point in the game (without spoiling what happens) in about 30 minutes or less, depending on the chips and buffs you choose to buy. For version 0.5.0 I want to have a better late game and add some new mecahnics that improve the progress if you pass some computer science tests. I hope you enjoy.
