    The game's story is presented in a comic book style, featuring minimalistic graphics and brief graphic-novel narrations at the start of each chapter. While the presentation is visually appealing, many players feel the story is underdeveloped and not integral to the gameplay, making it feel like an afterthought. Overall, the narrative lacks engagement despite its interesting format.

    • “Each chapter of the game starts with a brief graphic-novel narration setting up the backstory (another interesting bonus).”
    • “The game features 5 chapters with 9 levels, each featuring a comic book style introduction that tells you the story of why you are solving puzzles.”

    • “The campaign story might as well not exist, although the presentation is quite nice.”
    • “The graphics are minimalistic and the story is not that engaging either (it's not relevant to the gameplay however).”

    The gameplay offers a unique twist on programming games, featuring easy-to-learn mechanics that provide depth and challenge, making it engaging for players who enjoy mental exercises. While the graphics are minimalistic and the story lacks depth, the focus on innovative mechanics sets it apart from other titles in the genre. Overall, it's recommended for those seeking a less difficult yet intellectually stimulating experience.

    • “This is an interesting twist on programming games (the first video on the store page is a good gameplay example).”
    • “The mechanics are really easy to learn but have quite some depth to it.”
    • “In the end, if you like programming games and want something not very difficult and with a different mechanic than the others available on Steam, I would recommend it.”
    • “The graphics are minimalistic and the story is not that engaging either (it's not relevant to the gameplay however).”
    • “Instead you'll be sucked in by game mechanics forcing you to flex your mental muscle.”

    The graphics are described as flashy yet functional, featuring a minimalistic style that complements the gameplay. Each chapter includes a graphic-novel-style narration that adds context to the story, although the narrative itself is not particularly engaging. Overall, the visuals perform well across different systems, including Linux Mint with Intel graphics.

    • “Each chapter of the game starts with a brief graphic-novel narration setting up the backstory (another interesting bonus).”
    • “Played this game on Linux Mint with Intel graphics, works like a charm.”
    • “The graphics are minimalistic and the story is not that engaging either (it's not relevant to the gameplay, however).”
    • “The graphics are somewhat flashy for a programming game, but still very functional.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game allows players to upload and compare their solutions, but the lack of a leaderboard is a missed opportunity, especially since optimization is a key element of the gameplay experience.

    • “You also have the possibility to upload your solutions and compare them to others, but there isn't any leaderboard of any kind, which is a shame because in this kind of game, optimization is a big part of it.”
