No tab completion? Singular commands can include spaces in them? No fully fleshed out shell with a Turing Complete scripting language? 0/10!


On a more serious note, I love the concept and implementation, but I did struggle with the Box level, specifically knowing how to set the box's variables/which variable to set. I tried `box.frozen=false` and just checking for what the box's object name should be by just typing `box`. The "Press TAB to edit its code when touching it" was also a bit ambiguous regarding what `it` is, as both the subject and object are unclear. "When A is touching B", what is A and B? The player, the mouse? I tried touching the button with the player and pressing TAB, as well as touching the block with the mouse and pressing TAB, and it didn't take me to the terminal.

@TheCyberOne seemed to be able to beat this level, so the difficulty seems surmountable by some people, but for me that's where I got stuck.

Sorry about some of the ambiguity it was a real final rush at the end and I simply didn't have time to refine the puzzles. Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting concept! It's also visually pleasing!

Idea is awesome. I spent time very funny. +++

I love the idea. Seems like a good game to make more people excited towards programming and game development. The sounds and visuals are also very nice. I sometimes got stuck because the console logs were a bit confusing and there was no option to go back to older logs to read them again.

Thanks for the feedback. I kind of ran out of time to make well balanced puzzles. The code base I made was also atrocious making level development a real pain.

Would love to see more because it really intrigued me. But I got stuck on the password with the platform1.text = /DAQ/A5/CE/8f(+?Y/B67

Developer

Thanks

We're sorry about it being a bit ambiguous and will probably improve the playability in the future

Setup is pretty cool! I couldn't figure out how to go to the next level though

Developer

Thanks!

To get to the next level just type next level
