Awesome little automation game that makes you think but also allows you to turn your brain off and just have fun. Progression feels a little slow but then again so am I.

I played the demo and knew I wanted the game. Saved up and saw it pop up on sale, so I snagged it. Still figuring out the game again and learning the new stuff. I'm at the point where I'm ready the stop all the robots and reprogram them all or restart the game. Either way it should be fun. Big downfall of the game is you really lose track of time. :D

It's a cute take on the factory minion formula. The robots are cute, they devour anything, and they're easy to program. The game is fun and has that 'just a few more minutes' hook to it. The game overall has a bit to go before it's "ready". I unlocked all the items in just a few hours. There's still some items on the small tech tree that I never got to like variable checking, but with the content level, it doesn't begin to need it. It's definitely one to watch for future updates.

This is a game of 2 halves. Firstly, there is a very attractive, amusing, entertaining new world to colonise with robots called Craftomates. Secondly, there is the "world" of programming; your Craftomates prepare the planet for colonisation. This involves the extracting resources and then combining them to make things like more bonfires, metal ingots, etc. and even more Craftomates. I came to this game as someone who is not used to programming other than a bit of VBA code a long time ago and coding in the game Autonauts. I found that it is possible to complete the objectives of the current game by having lots of Craftomates simply programmed. As might be expected' the game has goals (production of new items) and rewards (the release of new programming elements and new physical items). I think I only used about a 1 in 10 of the programming elements. Thus the goals/reward system didn't have a lot of purpose. I have yet to work out what the purpose of the game is. Either it is for experienced programmers who can utilise the many functions that are available (in elegant and sophisticated ways) and/or it is a tool to teach programming to newcomers. If the latter then there really does need to be some "class handouts" with examples what functions, variables, etc. are and how they should and could be used. Simple definitions do not suffice. This will not ruin the game for beginners but actually enhance the gaming experience. Yes, there is 3rd party material on YouTube, etc. kindly created by users but understandably these are generally out of date because of game updates. I think the developers are the ones who could create up-to-date and effective "class handouts". It would be most welcome and might encourage more people to buy the game. It is worth mentioning that some people "think visually" and thus a picture of some code is worth a 1,000 words! I think the game requires, in the short term, at least 1 or 2 new maps to increase the longevity of the game. I really like this game, I enjoy playing it, I thoroughly enjoyed the Xmas candy sticks and would welcome something similar each month, and the Craftomate World seems to work without glitches. I also like sitting back and just watching the Craftomates do their thing - it is very relaxing. Whilst I think the learning curve required for in-depth programming is far too steep for programming novices I am happy to play the game at more rudimentary level. I am glad the thorns have gone! I certainly would recommend the game 100% and is extremely good value for the price.
