Great game if you love puzzles and logic. Upgrade requests. -Scroll bar on programming window. -Pinch zoom on programming window. -Undo button if you accidentally move a programming element trying to scroll. -Jump to label. -3rd optimized light if size and speed achieved together. -User submitted challenges. Starts at simple programming, on to advanced concepts. Humorous backstory in the coffee breaks. Interesting optimization challenges.

The game itself is fun and is what deserves 5 stars. Negatives or wants: 1. Handling of the screen rotation... the screen rotates when not desired. 2. Do not remove the possibility to see the description of a command. I do not play the game every day, and it's easy to forget the details about each command. 3. Add the possibility to run the code without going through the animation. 4. Add possibility to disable all in-game audio.

Excellent game, but the following version is even better. I really recommend this one first to understand the principle and then try 7 billion humans. The price is really good for the complexity of this game. If you just like graphics games or action game, this one is not for you, but if you like coding and solving unbelievable levels with some instructions, if you like to think instead of testing your reflexes, this game is for you. I am 61 years old, my son 30, and we love it. BUY IT AND ENJOY

The game crashes on launch on Pixel 8 with Android 14. No way to play at all.
★☆☆☆☆Sampson Crowley· Jun 2, 2026
Mute button doesn't work. The unskippable cutscenes and complete lack of basic settings is extremely annoying. I want to like it, but the complete lack of basic settings functionality is ridiculous
★☆☆☆☆Jeremy Johnson· Aug 14, 2023
The screen randomly fluctuates between landscape and portrait orientation. It is unplayable.
★★☆☆☆The Sore Winner· Mar 22, 2026
Game looks cool but not having the option to lock rotation makes it unplayable for me. Phone can't be held at some angles otherwise it will rapidly switch between portrait and landscape mode.
