punched card programming, this is nostalgic and very very clever. Perhaps with a more serious (perhaps) interface, like the one on TIS-100, this could become a cool challenging punch card programming type of thing.

A neat puzzle game with a nice root in computer science history.

The goal of stopping the tipping machines fits the "on the edge" theme nicely.

I would have loved to see this get a splash of polish. Even just some clicks and clack when I punch in the instructions would add a nice bit of satisfaction.

Overall, great idea and nice mechanic. Well done!

Cool idea and the simple graphics are cute :)

Thank you for Playing! It's always interesting to see someone play the game instead of just reading comments. Thanks!

I really enjoy the puzzles, having to memorize the movement patterns is a refreshing take on the boss limitation. Could have used some sound, but I had fun regardless. Great work!

This game has the same problem my game has ... no in-game tutorial to set the player up for success.

But I pressed on and fiddled with the cards and controls and after that I discovered a delightful little puzzler. It was a blast to work out each stage and come up with an optimal solution. Though the art is minimal, I liked it a lot. I think a little more polish given to some sound design and different sfx when the robots take different actions would have made the moment-to-moment gameplay more engaging.

Overall, really clever idea and a great jam submission by a solo dev.

Nice implementation of the theme! I love this concept, it's very unique. Would've loved to have the controls be a little transparent to gauge how much of each direction would be needed. But still had a really good time playing the game.
