This is neat! I had a few annoyances with the UI, and it doesn't look or sound very good, but other than that, no complaints. I like how different this feels from actual machine code ("read backwards" and "skip exactly 1 instruction" aren't things you normally see there)

Well done this feels very much complete! Perfectly fine puzzle, functional art and soundscape stimulating concentration. Personally I am only missing some more attractive art, with colours and complimenting shapes and I would really  see myself spending a long time playing your game.

Very challenging puzzle game, but a cool idea. The UI was a little difficult for me to use.

Good idea for a puzzle, it helps build logical reasoning and it can also be turned into PvP.

I liked the minimal art work.

PS - I encountered a bug where the reader just disappears so you have to refresh the page to fix it

Please play and rate my game as well.

Fun little game idea. The tutorial was a bit convoluted, imo, as the game and its visuals are simple enough that they convey what your purpose is while playing it. Overall solid work 👍

The puzzles are challenging and had me spent some time playing the game. Good job!

Interesting idea for a puzzle game. I feel like it gets quite difficult really fast (although maybe that's just me being tired when I played)
