I never knew I needed a microcontroller simulation game in my life. I love the background story, and the puzzles are really tough.

Tentative. I recommend this for other technical people. But the desire to force a user to experience have to rtfm makes the game for frustrating than fun for a bit. But I could not give a negative review when it demonstrated how important and useful human readable code is. I did not value it much before. now I know.

The least interesting of the Zachtronics programming series, I found most of the puzzles too repetive and restricting. It also kind of teaches bad engineering habits. Still recommend it though, being a drooling Zachtronics fanboy. Buy it, acquire happiness and joy.

+ Challenging puzzles
- The difficulty scaling is weird. Similarly to TIS-100, late game relies too much on frustrating and unrealistic constraints to increase the difficulty (max # of lines of codes, registers, board space, the extreme simplicity of the assembly language).
- Very bare UI, can't even zoom in: had to lower the game resolution to see what I'm typing (to be fair I'm near-sighted)
