A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Dive deep into a simulated existence where you can manipulate the world around you by reprogramming certain objects to your will. An overarching system will guide you on your journey through this foreign world, but something seems to shift as you progress further...

  • expect a total runtime of about 2-3 hours, a bit more if you also go for the optional content
  • fight and "think" your way through 39 handcrafted puzzle levels
  • experiment with a variety of different objects, each with their own attributes and methods
  • use control structures like "if", "else", "repeat" and "while" to code complete programs
  • try to fix the bugs that are spread across the levels if you're up for the challenge
  • enjoy a self-composed ambient soundtrack, consisting of five ambient tracks, which was specifically made for this game

This game was created in around six months as a voluntary project as an attempt to create a genuinely fun educational game about coding.

It can be played without any knowledge about programming, but beware that some parts might be difficult or frustrating for beginners. If you already have a lot of experience in coding, I would still advise you to try out this game since it still offers a good challenge through its optional content.

Since I live and go to school in germany, the game is currently only available in german. I believe it can still be played when you are not fluent in german, since a lot of the programming terms are similar if not the same in english, but I might add english support in the future.
