Cargo Bot
Hasiah Leal

Once you get cargo bot you won’t be able to delete it, so don’t waste your time trying to get it and I give it 1 star for a very good reason if you bought it and you can’t delete it then don’t do it again.


Puzzle for programmers
dustinmyglass

In this game, you have to program a crane with simple instructions (move left, up, down, etc) to perform a prescribed task (e.g. move a column of boxes to an empty column). The objective is to use as few programming steps as possible. It not only teaches programming concepts, but also rely on bad programming practices, like programs that's inefficient, hard to understand, and don't terminate properly. OK, this is a game so I don't care good or bad programming practice. I'm skeptical this is suitable for 9 to 11 year olds. Unless they are programming genius, they would probably find this a difficult game. Today I'm super happy not only I solved one of the impossible puzzle but was told I found an unknown solution - using 3 less registers than the known solution. Haha! The game hasn't been updated for awhile. I hope the developer has not abandoned this game.


Awesome and unique!

I wish more levels were added from time to time though. If you are a fan of this style of game and long for more, I suggest you check out the game called “Human Resource Machine”!

No way to beat hard level “come together 2”
ZenMasterSherm

Come together 2 hard mode crashes when I complete it in 8 step... wants you to stack 7 blocks but stashes when you do!!


Puzzling...

It's VERY hard...for me at least. Even the tutorials are hard. The hints aren't very helpfully. You really have to think. But it's not the 'enjoyable' type of thinking like with other puzzle games. Its very frustrating. Only for clever people who are really bored.


Can't Believe It's Free!

This game is really well done and challenging to get 3 stars. I think it's a great tool for teaching programming logic for both kids and adults. I'm a programmer and still had to think pretty hard to solve these puzzles!

So much fun and educational too!


Amazing!
intragroove

This is exactly the kind of game I've been looking for. My only suggestion is that there be more teaching of patterns and whatnot that can be built upon in later levels. I'd appreciate the hints to be more helpful as well.


Why are you reading reviews when you could be playing cargo bot?
