“This game teaches you assembly language without telling you it's teaching you assembly language.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“In a world without the follow up, 7 Billion Humans, this game would be a much easier recommend. The logic puzzles are good, but the value, quality, and and fun are much better in 7BH. Get it on sale if you love logic puzzles.”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“fantastic!!! I knew I was programming but once I learned it was actually assembly code the whole time it made me even more invested. Beat all the main levels and currently almost done with the challenge levels. The mechanical progression is so well done”
