This is a delightful and addictive game that I already had on PC. Unfortunately, on the mobile version, the tiles are tiny and difficult to read. Also, the size & speed optimization challenges (which account for 90% of the gameplay) are harder to find in this version. Make sure you talk to the boss to see them - without them the biggest challenge is reading the tiny tiles! Edited

5/5 if not for the screen rotation bug. Screen auto-rotation is too sensitive and activates too often, flipping the screen upside-down. Also, there is no setting to turn off music and SFX. A game to teach programming, so it's heavily based in math and logic. Even if you have programming experience, it's still fun to play but will not be as challenging. However, trying to solve the optional optimization challenges (for size and speed) makes it more interesting. You can't backup your progress (I think), so it makes this more re-playable for me.

I enjoy this game but it's genuinely infuriating at times with it's half baked faux vertical screen orientation support, you can't change/mute the volume (who listens to music?), and how you can't control the inputs for testing. I'm testing my alphabetizer code for issues when outputting the first word, but I've gone some 30 attempts without running into that scenario. Let me use one of predefined inputs or continue using a previous input set and I'll instantly increase my rating.

This game presents a series of puzzles you must solve using machine language for a simple machine. (If you're familiar with programming the machine has serial input and output, one register, typed memory, indirect addressing and simple arithmetic and conditional jumps.) You program the machine by dragging instructions around. Unlike Scratch, the control flow is jumps so you have to manage your traces and branches. Speed and size challenges keep it interesting.

Love this game. It's really fun trying to complete all the challenges, especially with contradictory goals. -1 star because I keep getting a black screen on launch. Sometimes force stopping and clearing cache help. But 4 stars for a paid game that I can't run is a sign how much I enjoy this game.
