If you are into AI or programming the you will love this. ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS AWESOME *2021-03-20, version 1.2.13* It challenging but the is what makes it fun ### 5/5 — Incredible *2020-12-31, version 1.2.13* This game is super fun and addicting. Watching a level complete itself is quite satisfying. I like how each level builds off the last one so you really feel like you’ve learned how each bot works together. Some levels feel like the only way to beat them is to randomly push buttons until it works. Still stuck on level 27. The “struggle” is real. Would recommend if you like brain teasers and puzzles. P.S. it would be nice to have a hint button for the later levels. Doesn’t have to give the whole solution but just enough to push players in the right direction. Thanks, AJC ### 5/5 — 5 stars,here’s why... *2020-12-21, version 1.2.13* Ok.i Absolutely love this game! The mechanics are neat and gives people an easier way to code! It’s basically coding made fun!Also(partly why it’s 5 stars), there are NO ads.Not A SINGLE ONE!! ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2020-08-06, version 1.2.11* 好玩 ### 5/5 — Loved every level *2020-07-20, version 1.2.11* Any chance they will be a second game in the works? ### 5/5 — Super *2020-07-08* Vaut largement son petit prix ! ### 5/5 — 具備邏輯與樂趣 *2020-07-03, version 1.2.11* 好玩又動腦 ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-06-27, version 1.2.11* This game is both challenging in fun. Some of the levels can be really hard, but others can be moderately challenging. I think level 20 was the hardest level so far, and if anyone is stuck on a level I advise taking a break and trying it again later. I think the developers should add a feature where you can program your bots to go directly to another bot, like how they can go to waypoints. This might already be a function, and I might not have unblocked it yet, and if it is, then nvm. Great game, thanks for reading. ### 5/5 — 練習思考邏輯 *2020-06-19, version 1.2.11* 頭一次寫評論 認真覺得思考邏輯運作很有趣！非常推此遊戲👍 ### 5/5 — superb! *2020-05-27, version 1.2.11* this is too much fun ### 5/5 — Worth Every Penny *2020-05-06, version 1.2.11* This is an excellent game especially if you’re into the strategy and puzzle genres. All of the game’s features are implemented very well with little to no bugs. The artwork, animation and audio are superb. The story is good for what it’s worth, too, but the main aspects of the game are its puzzles and programming features so don’t expect too much of a narrative. The levels are well-designed and gradually introduce you to the mechanics appropriately. There are one or two difficulty spikes here or there but many strategy games of this nature have them and they’re not too hard to overcome in this game. Sometimes the audio stops working if you leave the app then reopen it from sleeping mode. [Re]entering a level fixes the issue. That’s the only minor bug I found whilst playing this game. ### 5/5 — 訓練邏輯 *2020-04-18, version 1.2.11* 這遊戲完全有成為國、高中（職）資訊教材的潛力！ ### 5/5 — My review *2020-03-28, version 1.2.11* If your looking to program AI for fun on your phone this should be your choice. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-02-24, version 1.2.11* Good ### 5/5 — 卡22關 有人可以解救嗎～～ *2020-02-10, version 1.2.11* 如標題 ### 5/5 — 絕對是值得嘗試的神作之一 *2020-01-18, version 1.2.11* 運用邏輯思維 寫程式觀念 讓人不斷的思考與想像 創造出更加正確的方法 沒有正確解答 只有無窮的想像空間讓玩家自由發揮 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug on LvL12 *2023-08-19, version 1.2.16* You can’t assign a new path when the conditions are passed, but you can stop the agent. However, it never mentions the priority of different movements. Also, it never says new paths cannot be assigned when the former one isn’t done. It can’t be tolerated ,especially for a logic game. ### 1/5 — 第九關有Bug *2022-03-30, version 1.2.16* 第九關有明顯的BUG，卡死在這一關，如果官方沒有修好之前我會一直維持一星評價。 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-02-03, version 1.2.13* Horrible guidance, confusing manual, no obvious way to create loops; overall, just bad. ### 1/5 — Basically an ad for the game *2019-06-04, version 1.2.6* Apple put this on its front page to advertise it. You get into the game and it has a good UI and feed back, good mechanics, nice game. Once you get to level 10, however, you will then need to either watch an advertisement (a video about something else) in order to continue and play the level, or buy the whole game. So effectively they(apple) will advertise this cash cow on their front page, try to get you hooked, and then spring the trap. If they wanted you to actually play the game they would’ve shown the “full game” version, but no. What we now have is a demo that you get suckered into downloading and after learning the mechanics you can give them money to have fun or waste time watching ads. No thanks, that’s a 1 Star from me for wasting my time, storage, and being deceptive. ### 1/5 — 失望 *2019-04-18, version 1.2.6* 以前買過同名遊戲現在換新版本舊的用戶就完全不管，難道貴公司的遊戲政策是這樣的？早買單的人反而得不到完整後續更新，還要再剝第二層皮？ ### 1/5 — Pretend free app *2019-04-03, version 1.2.5* Terrible Edit: no content. Sample levels do not get deep enough ### 1/5 — Was fun *2019-03-09, version 1.2.1* I had a lot of fun until my robots became unresponsive to commands... ### 1/5 — Rubbish! *2018-12-26, version 1.0.2* This game is terrible. The controls are hard to follow and after 5 minutes i couldnt even begin to know where to start or even what the object of the game is. I usually dont follow tutorials when playing a new game. You need a training session to even execute any sort of control or movement in this game. I would rather read the ingredients on a loaf of bread than play this game. ### 1/5 — Dommage *2018-12-18* Un jeu super, j'aime beaucoup le style et Le gameplay, mais malheureusement il faut payer pour jouer ### 1/5 — 關數太小 *2018-12-17, version 1.0.2* 賣廿幾蚊 關數咁小... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 超好玩的編程遊戲 *2024-12-14, version 1.2.16* 適合程式初學者！ ### 5/5 — 好 *2024-06-13, version 1.2.16* 玩 ### 5/5 — 很有成就感 *2022-07-12, version 1.2.16* 一步一步加入條件執行很酷 機器人設計很好看👍 ### 5/5 — 訓練邏輯的好物 *2022-05-17, version 1.2.16* 邏輯分析是訓練出來的。不是辯論出來的。 ### 5/5 — 說第九關有bug的是沒在思考 *2022-05-13, version 1.2.16* 剛下載一次就過的東西 開開關關是很難？ ### 5/5 — 我不知道要考試 *2022-03-11, version 1.2.16* 我又沒有唸書 ### 5/5 — 挑錯字 *2021-12-16, version 1.2.16* 教學第四關卡一開始 比鬚髮揮 ### 5/5 — 非常… *2021-11-14, version 1.2.16* 非常不推薦 因為一玩就會停不下來 然後還會等待開發組再多開發一些遊戲 甚至於不小心就會想贊助他們 ### 5/5 — Responsive Devs *2021-10-12, version 1.2.16* Encountered an issue, reported it and the devs were quick to respond and fixed the issue. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-08-04, version 1.2.13* Interesting levels, I love robotics so this was great, worth the money --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
