  • Unique and awesome

    Super fun game. I really like the way multiplayer (both free play and ranked) works. You don’t have to wait in a matchmaking queue or anything it just automatically puts you against an AI created by another player at the same skill level and then either player can watch the match whenever they want. Also the way the campaign is designed is awesome. The first chapter (or two?) are designed by the developer but the rest of the chapters use AIs made by real players in the community at various skill levels. So as you rank through the campaign you are sort of playing against the whole spectrum of the community and can learn and get better over time. This also means the campaign can change over time, keeping it fresh and challenging. 11/10!

  • Brilliant Idea, Excellent Game!

    This game is fantastic. It’s a great way to learn to think like a programmer without having to worry about syntax or constant typing. If you have a competitive streak or just like watching your ideas come to life then this game will inspire you to push yourself, both creatively and analytically.Even if you have no interest in programming, playing this game will teach you problem-solving and how to think more efficiently. And if you ever feel stuck, just check out the Wiki and the forum to learn more about the game, see existing strategies, and discuss ideas with other players!

  • Very Good Man!

    Not a typical game for this current era, though it aught to be. Very good tool for improving your critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and instills the basis for learning how to program. Starts with a very simple small set of commands, but rapidly opens up more and more complexity by not only new commands, but building the simple commands into designated sub routines. It might not be for everyone, especially if you like matching colored dots. You just need to try it and you’ll be hooked, or you won’t. At the very least it’s a one time purchase...no bags of gems or hero shards. In the age of pay 2 win, this is a welcome surprise.

    4/5 because I’ve only finished the tutorial missions and everything is explained really well and being forced to be hands on by having the player connect tutorial nodes helped with the learning process. The only bit I feel may not be explained well, although it could just be me not getting it, is connectors. Can’t wrap my head around em.Update: I realized the developer and I almost have the same name so I updated my review to a 5/5.

  • Love the game

    I used to program in high school and although it’s a lot simpler it still feels fun to play. It can get annoying at times but that’s when you solve a bug and find 20 more. Great job making this game you guys and I hope it gets huge. Might want to lower the price a dollar or two cuz not many people like buying mobile games at that price. Probably the most I've ever seen any creators listen to their community so thanks for listening to us!

  • The Best Strategy Game!

    I’ve played a lot of strategy games, but nothing compares to this. The whole mechanic of having to program your robots before they enter the arena is unique. I teach both robotics and coding, and I would love to use a class set of this game to introduce the concepts of both to my classes. I usually stick to sports games, but this has me totally hooked.
