Some store links are affiliate links — playze may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay, and the cheapest option is always shown in the Best price box above.

Has some real brain teasers, it's pretty fun.2 found this helpful
I got this game just for TF2 items a year ago. Then I realized this game is for smart people2 found this helpful
I've been playing this game for years, and have not really mastered it. It appeals to my sense of programming, because basically you're writing a program in 2-D space with icons on a grid. It's quite a challenge, that builds up from very simple to incredibly complex, but in a very slow, gentle ramp upwards. Someday perhaps I will be good enough to finish the game. :)1 found this helpful
The first half is very fun and quite enjoyable, after that it becomes extremely difficult and confusing Not necessarily a bad thing but it sometimes feels like you dont have enough space to do anything, feels very restrictive Still a very solid automation based puzzle game
It is great, still not done with it though :)
If you like opus Magnum this will feel right at home! program the 2 paths to work together to build elements. its kinda like a cnc with 2 paths but doing the same stuff as opus for the most part. awesome game
