Great puzzle game that utilizes the medium of code quite well. definitely gives off Baba is you vibes.
Great puzzle game, got me mad

Awesome work! I loved everything about this game, especially the sound design! My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that I wish there were more levels :) All the ones currently in the game were very well designed! Maybe I'll think twice about refactoring my code next time :)
More levels you say? Well the game is now in Early Access on Steam with over 100 levels! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3333330/You_Are_The_Code?utm_source=itch_comments
woah this one is goood this should go in the top 100 for sure
Brilliant concept, there were some great "aha" moments in the puzzles. There's a lot of potential under the surface too. Off the top of my head I'm thinking "print" being turned into "int" and declaring a variable instead of outputting it.
You’re right, there was a lot of potential. The game is now on Steam!
Nice concept with plenty of room to expand. Last level was a satisfying solve!
Really elegant design all around! It's impressively in-scope for the jam while being incredibly easy to imagine expanding out into a much larger puzzle game, and the puzzles themselves are satisfying to solve.
i really like your game especially the last level. well done!
Last level was a nice puzzle. Good job! Seems like there's a lot of design space in this idea (particularly the line deletion) and I'd like to see more of it.
You are correct, it turns out there was a lot of design space haha. The game is now in Early Access on Steam with over 100 levels! And planning on more on top of that! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3333330/You_Are_The_Code?utm_source=itch_comments
WOW! Definitely keep playing because the later levels are SO COOL! I'm so impressed... you must've had to make your own code interpreter... sound design is also excellent!
Thanks, but you're over estimating the work I did for the in-game code haha. Its more like "if line starts with output, print what comes after" (same idea for the other keywords)
Superb puzzle game, with a bunch of very clever stages and an absolutely perfect example of teaching the player the mechanics through gameplay without an explicit tutorial. If there were more stages I'd happily play this for hours :)
The deletion mechanic in particular is just inspired, especially once it starts to change the meaning of certain lines
That last puzzle took me way too long but I felt like a genius once I finally got it!
You want more stages? Well now there are over 100 levels on Steam in Early Access!
I'd forgotten all about this, so installed the demo on Steam to check it out - had to buy it after the second world as I knew I wanted to play more, love it! Will leave a review once I've played through :)
Simple and Fun!
Not only is there potential here for a chunky programming-puzzle game, there's room for some real Baba-Is-You type wonkyness with the different literal meaning of lines. You do a good job of introducing different mechanics to the player and making sure they understand them before they can move on without ever explicitly tutorialising them which I always think is a good level design.
Hey this was really fun! Excellent job, the concept offers a format with a lot of interesting puzzles.
Really cool puzzles, I can see a lot of potential in this!
good game
Pretty solid game ! And now, I will have nightmare seen my code disappearing before my eyes..
A really creative spin on a programming game! I enjoyed having to think through each step carefully, and some of the solutions were super clever, I felt like a genius! I would gladly play 100 more levels. Great job!
Thank you! An updated version has been uploaded on itch (same itch link), and there is now a Steam page! (Planned release is next year) Any feedback is appreciated :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3333330?utm_source=itch_comments
5/5 on enjoyment !! I love programming and it was a game I could play on my phone !
I love programming, so I may be a little biased. Great idea and realization! I felt like I was an AI trying to destroy humanity with assembly code.
The game is understandably short, but could become a neat puzzle game with enough time and resources.
