Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Sep 11 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[h1]CAVE MAN BRAIN + EXA BOT = FUN [/h1] solitare bad, robot good, need robot live 20/10 W game
This is by far my favourite Zachtronics game. The atmosphere and story are great. It really makes you feel like a hacker, hacking into networks, changing database files, and all with the help of your little nano buddies. The programming in my opinion is the most accessible compared to Shenzen or TIS-100 especially because of the max number of lines you can write.
I really enjoyed the story and how they made so many "analog" elements to the world. I find it very aesthetic and it makes everything feel so much more real. Great puzzle, too - learned quite a few tricks along the way due to code size constraints (they are optional, though). +rep +rep +rep

很好的游戏,使我的大脑抽搐
I personally love it. It is however really annoyng that you can't read the manual in-game but have to have a pdf-viewer or similar open at the same time.
microplastics if they were awesome
At first, when the hints started running out, I wanted to quit the game, but now I've almost finished it and I think I'm hooked. Well, time is short, so I'm off to learn how to write in assembly and machine code.😢
Good programming game
Классная игра , но мало миссиий.
