I really like this game. The background sound, CRT monitor and the whole setting went really well with the gameplay. Definetly relatable and I replayed a bunch of times. Only problem is that if you finish code part too fast, you can't collect points for accept/reject part, so you get punished for going fast. And replaying can be done by memorizing the answers, but I that's as much as you can squeeze from 3 hours. Overall I think it's a really well managed time and a masterfully crafted experience.

Dont bully orange square!Thanks for the thorough review and I'm happy you liked it!
I know the game lacks a bit of balancing but as you say the 3 hour period is very limiting. I think it would make the game fairer if I would randomly generate some of the programming problems or at least randomize the order. For this jam, I made them all by hand and just play them in sequence. If I ever decide to bring this concept into something more complete I will take your feedback with me.
Once again thank you very much!
What a great concept. This is especially how interruptions work (with all the code review). Congrats! Would love to play.
P. S. I only saw the trailer and can't play for real because I don't own a Windows PC.

Leave Trudy AloneThe sounds were really satisfying and the game was fun :0 1325 points
It's simple enough to understand that my mediocre coding skills can handle it, but hard enough to make me think for a few seconds XD Great job!!

Digit's DreamRight now it is still a closed source engine but I plan on making it available here on itch.io sometime soon!
Yeah making your engine is difficult and you have to set aside a lot of time before you can reap the benefits. I'd recommend developing one subsystem at a time to not get overwhelmed, If you ever get stuck or have questions I'd be happy to lend a hand!
Awesome game, I have wanted to make a coding puzzle game taking inspiration from games like EXAPUNKS for a bit so this was cool to see. I really liked the CRT shader. I got 1100 points.

Leave Me A LoanThank you for the kind words!
I have seen Exapunks before but never tried it myself.
Making a full game based on programming seems like a very cool idea and something that you can experiment a lot with. Something that inspired me with that type of game is that you have a lot of algorithms that you could turn into interesting puzzles that will produce the eureka feeling once you see the connection.
