I didn't know what was going on for the first few "turns", its not immediately clear that you have to wait for the commands to reach the droid. This is a great idea though! You could make some devious puzzles with this.

Hi ninassin! This is a fun little experiment, although it shows just how difficult it is to play a game that doesn't have a good UI. I didn't manage to try any of the more advanced commands because I didn't know exactly how to use them or when. I think the input delay of 3 turns may have been a little bit too much. I would start with something shorter, maybe 1 turn just to show the basic mechanics. Good luck!

Good concept, but the game does not restart when we die
