I was surprised by how much I liked this game. It seemed to be too cutesy to have much depth to it but I was wrong.

The main gameplay is about programming robots to automate tasks like gathering wood or building things. The thing that this game does better than a lot of other games with programming elements is it doesn't actually make you write code, it's just drag and drop building blocks or recording your characters actions. It still teaches the concepts of if statements and looping but in a much less tedious way.

Once you nail down programming and building bots it feels good to not have to do repetitive tasks. With very few exceptions you can program your bot to do anything you do. So fairly early into the game I was able to program bots to gather all the resources, build more bots, and then copy programs onto them.

For an added challenge, you can select an option that will limit you to 300 bots. 80 hours in, I feel like this is a real hidden gem and I recomend it to any lovers of survival sandbox games or settlement building games.
