i feel like those are made to represent decade old hardware, espically considering how slow they are without upgrades. i think it be best if you could customise them somewhat to make them look modern or even sci-fi
2 up, left down up right down, 3 right, up right down up left, 2 down. it's hint is kinda wierd, i though it was about making it all with small character since if you put a grid of tiles on top of it it's look like you're always supposed to use small form and tons of moves
