This is a very nice 2d sandbox tech game. i have not touched the tutorial so i cannot say how well it teaches but in game the programming does not have any built in docs to follow. to find info you must go online. and the lack of a native linux version does make running it a pain sometimes, only seems to work with proton 8.0-5. also this is prob just my system or proton version but it does not run well on battery power. other then the few issues that im sure will get worked out in time i would say 10/10 for this type of game.
This game is absolutely awesome as is and I can't wait to see more. Despite there being indeed some bugs, they are not compromising and the game has a lot of potential. I'd love to see a way to run .lua files from other .lua files and some more freedom when building code, but it is still an amazing game as is and I definetely recommend everyone to give it a try. Best buy of my life easily
