A simultaneously brain-melting and brain-expanding puzzle game about manipulating and corralling rudimentary pathfinding AIs that hides shocking levels of complexity beneath its cutesy exterior and simple early stages. I don’t want to spoil the specifics but there are some discoveries that massively expand the scope and possibility space of the game to a genuinely overwhelming degree—to the point that I consider everything up until the credits roll to still be part of the tutorial.

If I had one complaint (though I believe there are plans to improve this), it’s that I wish there was more clarity on which [REDACTED] are actually possible, since it’s currently all too easy to spend ages trying to puzzle out something that can’t actually be done. For my part, my brother and I looked up a list of all known [REDACTED] and put together a spreadsheet to track the ones we’d managed to find, which made the whole process actually manageable while still being plenty challenging (and then my brother did even more spreadsheet crimes to help us figure out the most promising possibilities for a certain achievement).

In any case, I’m really looking forward to both the promised free additions to the game and the upcoming DLC—I’m so ready for them to finally do something with [REDACTED]!
