This game is really such a creative, fun little find! The interactions between the characters are fun, the history we learn is interesting, but the BEST part of the game are the designs. You can tell each design was carefully thought out and lovingly made, while sticking to tropes that are meant to appeal. I loved every character, every bit of logic behind the design (the moth thing was so fun and cute!) and I really hope to see more passion projects in the future!2 found this helpful

VERY cute & fun. i really really like most of the guys. i was sad that univac's cat & the offering bot didn't have any sprites, however...but all the art is SUPER good short & sweet. hot robots. i can't really pick a favorite they all had really cute moments but i loooove the dynamic of the binac twins & i really want to draw them...mark 3's exposed wires were also VERY DISTRACTING....(in a good way) edsac & edvac were also SOOO CUTE TOGETHER Q__Q the only thing is that some of the loops in the music were very noticeable & especially in mark 1's room the song felt way too short compared to the amount of time spent in that room...it got a bit grating, especially when the part where it loops is so obvious.
The Eniac room......... All jokes aside this game is a perfect mix of great humor and education on the history of these vintage computers! An absolutely delightful experience, and definitely worth checking out if you're interested by old tech. 1000/10 would highly recommend and I will now proceed to shove Edvac in a locker.
A fun way to trick people into learning about computer history. I liked the details they incorporated into each character's designs and personality 7.8/10
