Wow! Well balanced, good learning curve, simple and fun! Best one I've seen yet, well done!

This is a fun little game - although it's quite challenging from very early on. I'm not sure quite how it fits the theme of 'alone' aside from being a single-player game which has no human characters. Nice idea though :)

Hm. Very good. The graphics, though simple, fit the style well. The lines of code in the background were a nice touch. I also really liked the way that you made otherwise mundane abilities interesting by wrapping them in a context of programming. I don't feel it focused on the 'alone' theme, though. The music was fitting.

Nice game, even if a bit hard. I missed the power ups sometimes (like the while) because of the color though. But i liked the use of language structures as game world features :-P. But maybe some things were a little forced (break) :-P.

Great game! Graphics a bit underwhelming, but great level design and well-balanced gameplay! 5/5

The idea and the gameplay are well thought, but doesn't fit the alone theme in my opinion. At least, I couldn't see it.

I love it. The idea is great, and gameplay is quite meaty. Music is nice and fitting aswell.

So far, the best and most original theme interpretation I've seen. And good fun too!

I wish I'd found this while ratings were still ongoing. I'd have happily rated this highly!
