Great game but desperately needs undo
My sessions often end when I attempt to scroll the code display up or down and end up mistakenly dragging around a code block and inserting it somewhere. At this point the program control flow is destroyed, I have no idea what I did, and there is no undo function to undo the last edit. I can spend a lot of time trying to fix it, or just quit the game in frustration, which is what usually happens.
A deeper Human Resource Machine
PROS:
- good balance of tough (optional) challenges and casual play
- they do a great job of introducing new commands when they are unlocked
- managing many humans at once adds another layer of complexity
- funny & cynical, but some of the gags are nicely subtle. makes me want to actually read the text
CONS:
These aren’t big deals, but:
- the spacey music, which is kind of moody, clashes with the humor. would have preferred something more upbeat
- small screens beware; some of the handles a
Best IOS Game
Is a shame games like this aren't at the top of the charts instead of the endless cloned and repetitive games that currently are. The originality and polish puts this game light years ahead of any other game on mobile. Not to mention, it's not just fun but disguised underneath,you actually learn something. I'm obsessed with getting the OCD (difficult but optional) achievements in every level. Never has there been a game that not only makes you feel like a genius, but actually secretly makes you
Rotation
Rotation is really buggy in iphone xr. Even having rotation lock doesnt prevent it from rotating. Even if you move the phone sightly, it rotates.
Unexpected
This might be the funniest way to learn how to code. Love this game!!! 🤘🏼
Nice sequel
I like playing games in bed and this game ignores orientation lock. SO frustrating to only be able to hold the phone one way. I understand some people want to see more of their code, but it would be nice if that feature could be turned off/on.
Plug it in
It’s a fun game but plug your phone in because it drains your battery quick.
Fine
Gamifies how to program.
Cloud sync would be very helpful.
nearest is faster than set
in year 34, why?
At last you are mine!
I’ve been looking for a game that uses programming syntax as a game mechanic for years. This game is brilliant!
Add a Level Editor
I have completed everything and would love more. A level editor that the community can use and share would be a great addition.
Great game, but it blocks outside audio
I love this game, but it shares a serious limitation with Human Resources: it won’t let you listen to an audio app while playing. This significantly reduces the times I want to play. I usually listen to audiobooks or podcasts when playing any mobile game.
I hate screen rotation
The game is great, but screen rotation that ignores ios screen lock means you can only be in one position when playing the game and even then sometimes it still randomly changes.

Too Many Tedious Tasks
It was clearly a LOT of work to make this game, but the result is a gauntlet of tedious programming tasks constrained by a limited instruction set. I wanted something commensurate with the genius of World of Goo. Instead, I got something that feels like having a job in the movie Brazil. I keep wanting it to be fun, and leave wondering whether the developers in hindsight feel like they missed the mark.
Please fix screen rotation
Nearly impossible to play lying down because the screen rotates even when rotation is locked.
