Very cool! Great idea which fits the theme well (unlike many other games (including mine 😎)). If I would have to give one critique: the clicking sound from the text is cool but it feels a little bad for my ears.
Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Very creative spin on the theme and actually a beautiful example of how simple graphics can still elaborate a complex puzzle problem. Not even joking, I'll have my kid play this and he'll go bananas ! Well done !
This was really great! One of my favorites so far. the control scheme was a bit confusing, but the style of the screen layout, and the logic of the puzzles was really fun to think through. I'd love to play a longer, expanded version of this idea.
This is really cool! One of my initial brainstorming ideas was "while loop" but I quickly dismissed it because I had nowhere to go with it. This was a lot of fun for me, though being in C-like pseudocode, it may not be as accessible to non-programmers. Some kind of graphical diagram of the code may be good for that.
Also one thing I noticed is that if, for example the loop condition is (numRedObjects
@shaolin-dave I tried a web build and the UI canvas stretched over the whole screen (despite being set in code to be 50% of the screen width). I added an OSX build, but don't have a Mac to test it on so no idea if it works!
Concept is great, again the loop being a logical one is very innovative, the most interesting theme take I've seen so far. Controls aren't very intuitive, using the middle mouse button as a primary function is a little weird. I probably would have incorporated keyboard, maybe space key to absorb. Or both, so players could do whatever is comfortable for them.
Holy cow, that's creative! I'm really amazed with this idea, well done. I just wish it was expanded a bit further(more complex conditions instead of just a>b), but of course under the limitations of a game jam that's asking too much. You should consider continuing this game :) It could be a great teaching tool as well.
Great variant of the theme to use a loop as the main instruction to the player, and nice implementation of that idea. We thought about using something similar in our entry, but didn't think of a good mechanic to actually solve the loops. The form and color puzzle solving was a great fit and went well with the code solving on the right. The graphics were clear and readable, but still had a personal touch with the Shape Gun, that was nice, reminded me a bit of portal. All in all a great entry, I had fun.
I liked the effects, and the game was well executed in the face of the proposal presented, but I feel it could be more emersive, congratulations again for the game, a big hug!
Smart idea and really clean implementation, especially for a first game! I feel like this could be a little confusing for someone who isn't familiar with code, but I suppose it's pretty self explanatory. If I had any nitpick I think a tutorial would be nice, but I understand it's hard with time constraints. Really great work!

Any chance of a Mac or Web build?
