A charming little game!
Sounds would be lovely, as would be more animation on the robots. I feel like you've got solid mechanics, and a little more juice would really take it to the next level.
I really appreciated the grid in the background, once I noticed it.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback.
I had planned to do sound and animation, but I took too long getting the rest working.
interesting game! i love programming!
Graphic is NICE!

Fun idea with a simple and clean look.
Fun idea and has lots of potential! I know it's a jam game but i wish the boards had some kinda shortcut to open and close or maybe off the game screen cause i kept having to close them to see what was going on. Well done :)
Great game. I liked the concept and can see this being a full game if the mechanic is expanded upon.
Awesome idea for a game! loved how you had to program the robots to perform the tasks at hand. had a little trouble with lvl 3 but a good game from what I was able to play. Nice job
check out mine if you have the time https://itch.io/jam/vimjam2/rate/1200495
Thanks for the nice comment. I will definitely check it out tomorrow.
Game isn't scaled properly :(

The html5 build was not properly scaled for me, but the windows build worked just fine. Fun concept for a game, only thing I would change is the UI for the input. It covers a lot of the level and makes it tough to know what commands you want to use.
Thank you for the feedback!
I thought hiding the level would add a bit of additional challenge, that you have to remember what commands you want to have in order. But I can see it getting more annoying.
Pretty good! Robots probably shouldn't be able to jump in the air though. Makes some of the levels too easy. Would be nice if the punch cards saved what you had when you restart so you can tweak it instead of remaking the whole thing.
Thank you for the feedback! What do you mean with they are able to jump in the air? Like double/infinite jump? That shouldn't work and doesn't for me...
And yes I can see that saving the state of the cards would be useful, I will keep it in mind for future games.
On the web version if I put the jump multiple times then spam the middle button I can jump multiple times in the air and only lose a little height before going again
Ah ok thanks, good to know.
I don't understand level 2. how can you get up there?
You should be able to make the robot jump with the holes for "up". Also you can go trough the platforms from underneath.
But it doesn't have any platforms under one another.
Ah that is the problem... who says you can only do one command at the time? Try Jump and Right in one row for example.
nice
