Am I just missing some way to copy/paste manipulators and groups of components? Or at least a "programming" block? This is essentially a programming game, and chunking functionality is a key programming skill. I'm getting rather tired of writing the same code over and over again.

OK, so I finished the last level, and I've got a complaint: There's no end sequence at all. I'm not looking for much, but at least a message of congratulation would be a nice addition. Also, a duplicate arm function would be nice to save a little programming time. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this game. Great work!

I absolutely love this game. If I could I'd give it about 100 out of five. First of all, I thought the music was incredible as soon as I loaded the game. The gameplay is wonderful as well. It's really rare to find a game that is so challenging and yet so much fun to play. It's so satisfying to finish a difficult substance and watch your machine do its magic. The graphics are simple, but anything more complex would likely distract from this game's elegance. The interface style and music fit together magnificently into the theme. There are only two things I would suggest: one, a fast forward button. Watching five repetitions is a little much. Two, a 'duplicate manipulator' button, so that I don't have to code something twice if I want to use it in more than one place. Other than that... brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I understand that by continually polishing your solution, you can get lower symbols as well as less cycles… But how the heck do people do Lvl 6 with only 8 symbols?!?!!? 8 symbols is only good enough for 2 manipulators… O.o
