Wow & inserting/moving commands
I wasn't sure about buying this but decided to give it a try because it sounded similar to Human Resource Machine, an iOS programming game.

So far I've completed the tutorial and the first mission to transmute lead into gold.. all I can say is wow! Blown away by this game.

Are additional levels/puzzles/tools planning as EA progresses?

Is there a way to insert commands?
For example I have a sequence of commands for arm 2, but realized I need to insert 3 cycles to create a pause while another arm does something. Is there a way to either select several commands and slide them over together, or insert blank cycles forcing commands in front to shift over?

You can select several commands with the mouse and drag them. You can ctrl-click a block of commands and drag them somewhere else, for example to another arm when you change arm types, then drag them back.

You can delete a block of commands you select this way, you can drag them to the right after selecting, and you can drag a single command slightly to the right to make all commands in a row move to the right.

When you click and drag an instruction block (either from the palette on the left, or from one part of your program to another), you can drop them down in between instructions as well as in empty spaces. You can also click on any empty part of the program window and drag to do a box selection. You can then click on the selected instruction blocks to move them all at once. You can also cltr+click and drag to duplicate selected instructions instead of moving them. To reorder the rows of instructions, you can click on the numbers to the left of each row and drag them up and down.

Regarding what Blizzard said, there's no need to move instructions around when changing the type of an arm. Just drag an arm from the parts menu and drop it on top of the existing arm, and it will change the arm's type while keeping all your instructions intact.
