Real life coding is more fun than this
It's hard to call TIS-100 a game. It is divided into separate puzzles which consist of instruction to fulfil. There is a simple way to compare your results with statistics giving you some additional chalange. It has a loading screen which is the only moment you have some cool sound other than bip or click. It has a story which is just a few lines of text pinned to each puzzle. Thats all. Whole gameplay is about writing and executing your code against tests that verify its correct. Code that generates numbers. Later in the game those numbers are at least visualised on an extremely simplistic display wich makes it a little bit more fun. Writing this code is also frustrating due to bizzare game mechanics decisions. It's impossible to write your code reusable (ports naming) wich is a huge wasted oportunity to make collecting your own solution snippets an addition game element. Debugger tool lacks "step back" functionality - would be so helpful. You are limited in line numbers (wich is fine) but empty lines and comments also count, punishing you for trying to make code more readable. I can easily understand high ratings for this games. Solving this kind of programming tasks may be very enjoyable and addictive. I know this cause I do this on a daily basis. However execution of this game is lazy and has very little to offer. In a game I expect some story telling, graphics, sounds, interesting gameplay variety, some reward for solving a puzzle. This product lacks it all and is a wasted potential. If you loved this game and don't understand why I'm so harsh for TIS-100, ask yourself, did you try something real? Buy yourself some real programable modules and create some home automation. Check those fancy programmable robot toys. Coding real stuff will be as fun as this game and an outcome will probably get you more satisfaction and fun. Also your family will a little bit better understand your nerd hobby.
