The game offers a fun and intellectually challenging experience for those interested in robotics and logic puzzles.
It provides a great introduction to Boolean logic and circuit design, making it a useful educational tool for students.
Players enjoy the satisfaction of building and programming robots to complete various challenges, with multiple solutions available.

The user interface is clunky and unintuitive, making simple tasks frustrating and time-consuming.
The game suffers from bugs and inconsistencies in physics, leading to unpredictable robot behavior during simulations.
Many players feel that the game is overly restrictive in its design choices, limiting creativity and making it feel more like a puzzle than a true robotics simulator.

The gameplay is characterized by challenging and satisfying logical and technical puzzles, appealing to fans of mechanics and electronics. However, players have noted significant bugs and a lack of polish in the user interfaces, which detracts from the overall experience. While the levels are original and offer multiple goals, improvements in mechanics and a better help system are needed for a more enjoyable experience.
- “If you don't have a problem with that, the actual gameplay is challenging, fun, and satisfying though!”
- “If you like a mind-challenging game and enjoy mechanics/electronics, then I recommend this one.”
- “The core gameplay is a huge set of 'levels', each with several potential goals.”
- “Extremely buggy in core gameplay, do not buy.”
- “I wish I could give a thumbs up, but the mechanics really need some work, and I'd really like to see a better help system on each level.”
- “Both of the UIs (mechanical and logic) are far below the level which would be acceptable in a serious application; particularly the mechanical one.”

The graphics in the game are generally described as simple and utilitarian, serving their purpose without being particularly impressive. While some players appreciate the aesthetic aspects of robot design and circuit setups, the overall consensus is that the graphics are not the main draw of the game; instead, the focus lies on the engaging puzzles and realistic physics that enhance the gameplay experience.
- “I love the ease of constructing the 'bot' and the wiring designs and graphical setup of the circuit boards.”
- “Good graphics, very nice puzzles, and a great way to exercise your logic skills.”
- “Graphics are good, and the simulation of the bot is amazing (to my experience so far).”
- “While the graphics are nothing to write home about, the physics and robots are realistic enough that you could go buy a robot kit and a handful of sensors and approximate many of your designs in reality.”
- “The graphics are simple but serviceable, but the audience for this game is probably not going to be swayed by the graphics much anyway.”
- “And it does everything right but graphics... but I really love this game and I recommend it for everyone who loves circuits, programming, challenging puzzles, and customizable robots.”

The game features a storyline that progresses as players gain and program robots to complete tasks, effectively integrating gameplay mechanics with narrative development. Players engage with the story by designing bots to navigate challenges, such as turning at colored walls, which enhances the interactive experience. Overall, the story serves as a framework for the gameplay, making it both engaging and educational.
- “You used the robots to move the story along by programming them to do certain tasks.”
- “Little story for the last point... I was doing the level where you have to design the bot to turn when it reaches a colored wall.”
- “There was a storyline and you gained bots as you moved through the story.”

Players have noted that the game's optimization has significantly improved, resulting in smoother gameplay and enhanced performance, particularly when retrying bot actions. The integration of community features like Steam Workshop has also contributed to a more enjoyable experience.
- “The game has improved, with community features such as Steam Workshop now built into the game, more fun things to do, and an optimized core for smooth play.”
- “I've played the first chapter and half of the second, and one thing I have realized is that if your bot does not succeed the first time, but you know it should, retrying without changing anything a few times often results in a dramatic change in your bot's performance.”
