Infinite Turtles

If you're familiar with Zach-like puzzle games, you'll be right at home in this delightful programming puzzle game, and if things are ever too difficult, you can always just make that your downie's problem. I highly recommend trying the demo first. Your progress from the demo transfers directly to the full game, and you can play the demo as long as you want; you're just limited to the first 18 levels, which should be more than enough to decide if you want to buy the game.

This is a pretty neat Zachlike game, but there are a few negative points - almost every later game level comes down to avoiding concurrency issues, so you have to spend valuable space on putting locks everywhere. This gets even worse when some of your earlier modules worked fine, but you realize once they are part of a larger system, everything gets slightly out of sync. Also, the scoring system seems to take account all the specs of your current submodules, which means if you want to optimize and come on the leaderboards, you can only optimize for one or the other, as you have to change all the modules over to be faster/smaller. Still, it is well designed and pretty challenging, so I recommend it.

Following on from ComPressure, this is another addictive and quirky puzzle game in a similar mold - but with a gentler learning curve and more ways to add in your own designs. Very enjoyable, arguably moreso than ComPressure. Dev is also friendly and responsive on discord and fixes issues very quickly. Definitely recommend!

Excellent logic/programming/brain aneurysm game. Difficult but approachable. Dev and others are excellent and responsive on Discord. If logic/programming games are your thing, this is also your thing. A+.

This is a puzzle game that aims to be automatically generated. However, many of them require knowledge of mathematics to generate. If you don't understand the recursive process, you're likely not 100% enjoyable. Still, it must be a good game, so I definitely recommend it.

Excellent puzzle game centered around recursion. A very nice way to fuel my zach like addicition. Being able to reuse components and to make custom ones for specific levels is a nice way to allow for some complex puzzle. It also encourages you to improve said designs to get even better scores.

一款以自动化流水线为基础玩法的编程游戏，只提供少量基础操作（甚至没有原生加减法），逐渐实现一套复杂的系统。 【游戏难度】 大部分都是基础数学运算、初级编程题，后期需要少量[spoiler]数论、通讯[/spoiler]知识。 整体上，[b]方案设计难度 < 调试难度 < 布线难度 < 优化难度[/b]。 实施难度远大于设计难度，前期我经常抱怨面板太小，有时候为了塞进最后一根线要调整大量其他布线。后期开始频繁使用自定义模块，布线问题缓解了，但是随着自定义模块逐渐累计甚至数量超过了官方关卡，查找成了新的问题。强烈建议游戏能增加一些工程管理型的辅助功能，比如搜索、调整顺序等。玩的时候建议在外部做一些记录，方便日后检索。 本作中大部分题目性能优化不是必须的，用初级方案都能较快跑完测试用例，除了[spoiler]在Div101时，必须进行算法优化[/spoiler]。优化方向是比较开放的，除了布线优化、算法优化外，还有[spoiler]无锁化、并行化[/spoiler]等颇有难度的优化技巧，非常还原程序员打工场景（。相比《程序员升职记》和《Opus Magnum》，本作的理论最优更难评估出来。 【整体体验】 像学习一门比较低效的编程语言，没有感情，全是技巧。 用熟悉的语言几分钟能解决的问题，在游戏里经常要花上个把小时。 令人眼前一亮的题目是[spoiler]Cross v3/v4[/spoiler]，除此之外的题味太重。 适合重度解谜玩家或程序员。 不建议拿本作来学习编程。

Infinite Turtles is an incredibly fun and addictive game in the Zach-like genre that has you solve problems with conveyor belts and numbered tokens. A lot of the unique gameplay comes through in the form of recursion in which you can place an unsolved puzzle inside of itself to ultimately solve it through repeating the initial steps n-number of times to reach a solution which mimics the loop structure in most programming languages. Every previous solution also becomes a new component available to you in future puzzles to make use of in future solutions. This takes the usual aspect from Zach-likes of revisiting previous puzzles to improve solutions for speed or space and turns it into a valuable use of time for improving future solutions as opposed to just being a fun incentive to replay older levels. Combining that with the ability to arbitrarily create custom components with a great built-in documentation system and a wealth of content beyond the initial set of puzzles that includes both community-made and in-game content it becomes very difficult to run out of content. Overall this has become a great new time waster when I have five minutes to spare as well as an easy way to spend an entire evening optimizing old solutions or attempting to solve the current challenging level I get stuck on.

Cool programming/logic game in the vein of prime mover and zachtronics, light on story but deep on mechanics. Very simple graphics but that also makes your works clearly legible, which is a must as problems get wildly more complex after the first couple of hours (the demo). If you're into zachtronics games this is a must. The "unique" thing this game does is that all components you can use except the first few are made by yourself, and when you improve a previous solution it will improve all instances of that component in every other solution. Pretty neat, but this does mean the scoreboard is basically incremental; if you've done a bad job on previous solutions you'll have a handicap. Not a big deal for me (I don't play for score/optimization), but could be a deal breaker for some. The game controls very well and it features loads of ease of use options like copy/paste, coloring pathways, adding comments, and saving multiple designs. For 10 bucks this is a steal.

Infinite Turtles is a really cool programming puzzle game. It uses grids and reusable components, like the developer's previous game ComPressure, and it focuses on processing lists of tokens, like TIS-100. But there is a big focus on recursion: the result feels more like writing functional programs instead of imperative programs. And getting to the point where you can add 1 + 1 to make 2 with your components feels like accomplishing a mathematical proof. You can copy components from other players, so there is good freedom to focus on the most interesting parts first.
