Fun but lack of iCloud saves is a disappointing omission.
For a company that so clearly cares about engineering it’s disappointing to see them omit such an obvious function
Where’s the soundtrack?
Got this game years ago aspiring but got stuck. I remember the soundtrack being incredible and now I can’t seem to get it to play in game. Either way I learned that zero has a value.
I’m confused
These puzzles are way too smart for me
You're paying for a puzzle game
Fun puzzle game for exercising coding knowledge, but doesn't offer a lot of help to actually teach you how to code. Once you get a problem that is too difficult to figure out alone there isn't any help for the user to learn. I basically have to go look up the answers on youtube and pick apart the explanation so I can understand what it is I'm doing in the game. Although, my understanding from impressions left on the internet by professional coders, looking up your coding needs on github and other sources is a totally normal thing to do no matter how far along in your career you are. So maybe the true lesson here is that a successful coder is resourceful and adaptable. Review coming from someone whose entire coding experience is playing a few levels of swift on the ipad and an obsessively decorated myspace profile in 2005.
No Save File export
Looking to upgrade your phone? Goodbye save data. This application doesn’t integrate its save with iCloud backup or Game Center. Probably won’t play it until this is fixed.
i feel humiliated…
I'm stuck at level 9 because I've been looking for the relationship between input and output. I thought it was an arithmetic sequence or a proportional sequence relationship, or something like that. But after I checked the strategy, I realized that it turned out to be a simple relationship like A-B and B-A. I feel like my IQ has been insulted. Telling the player directly what the relationship between input and output is is much better than telling the player a test case and letting him guess.
Good game but some problems
Whenever I restart cause my code didn’t work the numbers always restart and it makes me very mad so can y’all update it so it doesn’t do it cause it makes me restart a whole level. The game is still worth it it’s just that it gets me annoyed a little and pretty frustrated cause it’s hard.
