The game's programming language uses a simple and straightforward syntax, allowing players to quickly grasp the basic commands and start experimenting. Even those without prior coding experience can easily understand how to instruct the robot to jump, wait, or use the grappling hook. The visual feedback during the programming process makes the coding experience intuitive and engaging.

The platforming challenges test players' dexterity and problem-solving skills.
