Logicats

[quote][b]First of all, a thank you to the developer who made the game available as part of the Curators Connect program. There was never any obligation on the part of the developer to play the game or to write a review about it. This review was written voluntarily and without any involvement of the developer. [/b][/quote] [hr][/hr] [table] [tr] [th][b]MY RATING:[/b][/th] [th][b] ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘ [/b][/th] [th][b]5 / 10[/b][/th] [/tr] [/table] I have to admit that I wasn't really sure how to rate the game and would actually rate it as neutral. But since the price for the game is ok so far, I decided to give the game a thumbs up. I don't have many other options. Unfortunately… As can be read on the shop page, [b]the developer describes the game as "a beginner-friendly programming game. Learn programming concepts through reading code in a fun and effective way. Perfect for classrooms or at home. Start your programming journey today!"[/b] Well, that may be true as far as that goes, but it's not like you can say after playing that you're capable of programming. The game can be useful as a short introduction and perhaps to understand a few basics of programming, but nothing more. Logicats is a 100 level puzzle game that mixes the kind of if/then and direction instructions in a way that could make it a challenging game of following the instructions exactly. No matter how complicated they are. We'll play with a little kitty who has to follow the instructions on the right side of the screen to get to his goal, in this case a ball of yarn. However, the instructions are not a direct way and you have to follow the code exactly, otherwise you have to start the level from the beginning if you make a mistake. The further you progress in the game, the more complex the instructions become. Although you are slowly introduced to new challenges, the level of difficulty increases quickly. Still, it's not that the challenges aren't doable. If you don't use the trial & error principle, you can schedule about three quarters of an hour to an hour for the game. The scope of the game is actually good for a $2 game and if you are not familiar with the topic and want to deal with it, you can't really go wrong at the price. But as I said, you are not a programmer afterwards and if you are looking for a pure puzzle game, this is not necessarily the right place for you. I had no technical problems with the game. The music is a matter of taste and there are a few cat noises that you can turn off. The movement of the cat is fluid and technically and visually the game is what you would expect from such a game. The achievements work perfectly and, if you play through the game, are easy and automatic to get. Due to the few sales and reviews, the game and the achievements are currently not included in the profile statistics. A similar and more detailed take on the game, but with a different recommendation, can be found[url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198063825413/recommended/2279710/] here[/url] Review date: August 23, 2023 [hr][/hr][b] PLAYED WITH: ⌨️ [/b] [hr][/hr] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42616051/][b] ⮩ VISIT ME IN MY LITTLE WORLD[/b][/url] [hr][/hr] [url] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2279710/ [/url]

I just wanted to drop a positive review to support the developer and hope to see Fernado Araujo release Logicats 2 in the future. What a fun little casual game with 100 levels to guide your cat through. I think anyone who likes figuring things out will find this enjoyable. If interested in programming it may also be informative but you won't be programming after finishing. If it's out of your wheel house it would provide a nice game to think your way through. If you are familiar with programming will just shorten the play time, but still an enjoyable game to kill some time with. I think the achievement graphics are beautifully designed and will look great on profile showcases once the mysterious Steam metric is met. I think it's fantastic and worth praise to see quality achievement graphics with so many dev's using one graphic spam that often doesn't even match the theme of the game. For achievement hunters and completionist you will obtain all achievements just working through 99 puzzles. Level 100 will show the Thank You screen. Game is still restricted with "Profile Feature Limited" so will not count towards stats yet. ^•ﻌ•^ฅ •······················•······················•······················•······················•······················•······················• [b]Regarding why you don't see your achievements counting.[/b] Steam implemented a metric that affects most indie dev's and small studios by no fault of their own. On the store page, right side often indie games have: " Steam is learning about this game " [b]or[/b] " Profile Feature Limited " If you mouseover the ?, " This game is not currently eligible to appear in certain showcases on your Steam Profile, and does not contribute to global Achievement or game collector counts.

Kind of cool different way to play a puzzle game. I actually really enjoyed it and found it very addicting. Had to finish in one setting.

Logicats é um jogo que veio para desmistificar a ideia de que programação é difícil. Carismático e divertido, é ideal para iniciantes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974428977

Programmcode als Rätselidee und eine Katze als Akteur. Geht da der Faden ab? [quote]Ich habe das Spiel im Rahmen des Curator-Connect-Programms erhalten. Vielen Dank.[/quote] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981419958 [b]Gameplay[/b] Eine Katze will (oder soll) zu ihrem Wollknäuel und wird dabei von einem Programm gesteuert, dessen Code uns im rechten Bereich des Bildschirms angezeigt wird. Ausführen sollen den Code wir Spieler, Schritt für Schritt, wobei wir die Mieze in die Richtung auf dem 2D-Spielplan bewegen, wie es in Ausführung der Programmzeilen uns korrekt erscheint. Wir übernehmen also quasi die Rolle des Prozessors. Wenn wir dabei den Stubentiger in eine falsche Richtung bewegen, müssen wir den aktuellen Level nochmal von vorne beginnen. Zur Anwendung kommt eine allgemein gehaltene höhere Programmiersprache mit den grundlegenden Strukturen, einschließlich Funktionen, aber ohne Variablen. Aber wer wollte dies eigentlich spielen wollen? Für wen könnte dieses Spiel denn geeignet sein? Ist es überhaupt ein Spiel? Der Entwickler selbst meint, es könnte helfen, programmieren zu lernen. Also ein spielerisches Lehrprogramm? Ich denke, das haut nicht wirklich hin. Ja, man lernt die Strukturen einer Programmiersprache (bspw. wenn-dann-sonst) kennen und der Spieler muss zeigen, dass er verstanden hat, was sie bewirken. Aber man setzt sie für recht willkürliche, nicht ziel- und lösungsorientierte Bewegungen der Katze ein, die eher einen Tanz auf dem Spielplan ausführt. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981422550 Um es klar zu sagen, dieses Spiel ist für ein Programmierlehrspiel didaktisch ungeeignet. Jemand, der endlich doch mal Programmieren auf einfachste Weise lernen wollte und selbst "Programmieren für Dummys" in die Ecke geschmissen hat, wird es hier garantiert nicht einfacher haben. Weiterhin würde es so ein völlig falschen, womöglich bleibenden Eindruck schaffen, wie Programme gestaltet sind. Kein echter Programmierer würde solche Programme schreiben. Geeignet wäre es, konkrete, sinnvolle Aufgaben zu lösen. Bspw. "Sammle alle (beliebig verteilte) Wollknäuel des Spielfeldes ein, die auf einem blauen Spielfeld liegen, jedoch nicht mehr als fünf Stück." Die hier gestellten 100 Aufgaben, den Code, wie auch immer er lautet, Zeile für Zeile nachzuvollziehen, ist, nach einem grundsätzlichen Lernerlebnis (aha, das ist also eine While-Schleife) eher wie ein Zungenbrecher, bei dem man sich auch mal verhaspelt, obwohl man weiss, was man sagen soll. Genau in die Kerbe schlägt auch, dass die aktuelle Zeile im Programmiercode nicht farblich unterlegt ist, wie es doch in jeder modernen Programmierumgebung möglich ist, man sich also immer die aktuelle Zeile merken muss, wenn man mal auf das Spielfeld schaut. Je nach Spieler kann es daher Neulinge oder solche, denen logisch-strukturiertes Denken etwas schwerer fällt, dies als befriedigendes Rätselspiel ansehen, obwohl ich annehmen möchte, dass genau die dieses Spiel eh' nicht ansprechen wird. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981421172 [b]Technik[/b] Die Grafik ist solide und für ein Spiel dieser Art angemessen. Der Sound ist OK. Die Musik wird mit der Zeit eintönig, da es nur ein einziges Lied ist. Der Sound für Musik und Geräusche ist individuell einstellbar. Das Spiel ist auch auf Deutsch verfügbar (sehr schän). Dabei werden auch die Schlüsselwörter der Programmiersprache übersetzt (also bspw. "Während" statt "While"). Die Steuerung mit Maus und Pfeiltasten ist einfach und funktioniert gut. Man kann es auch mit Controller spielen. [b]Sonstiges[/b] Ich habe das Spiel in 45 Minuten durchgespielt. Die Errungenschaften werden wohl alle automatisch freigeschaltet, solange man das Spiel durchspielt. Man kann bereits gespielte Level nochmal spielen. [code][b]In Zahlen für mich persönlich ein Unterhaltungswert von 5/10.[/b][/code] Ein sehr einfaches Rätselspiel im Programmierbereich. Vielleicht für alle, die ihr logisch-strukturiertes Denken etwas entrosten wollen. M.M.n. auf keinen Fall ein Spiel, um Programmieren zu lernen. Da würde man alle Neulinge verschrecken. Ob vielleicht Katzenfans das Spiel aus Prinzip gut heißen, vermag ich nicht zu sagen. [hr][/hr] [i]Dies ist mein subjektiver Spieleindruck. Für meine Wertung zählt, wie gut es mich unterhalten hat. Entsprechend der Daumen nach oben oder unten, abhängig davon, ob ich es einem ähnlich gesinnten Spieler weiterempfehle. Der Spieleindruck eines anderen Spielers kann aber durchaus stark davon abweichen.[/i]

[b]Disclaimer: Game copy has been received via Curator Connect.[/b] Logicats is a helpful short game if you've ever been interested in programming basics. It takes you through 100 levels of various codes and gives a decent idea of how each of them works. It's a great game for learning because of how simplistic and beginner-friendly it is. It took me roughly an hour to clear all of the 100 levels, but I'm familiar with the basics, so it might take more time if you're not familiar at all with programming. Overall, it's been a pretty enjoyable hour spent, so I can definitely recommend picking it up if you're looking to try something new or want to test your beginner-level programming skills.

プログラミングの練習に良いが、プログラミングを書く練習ではなく読む練習です。 どういうことかというと このゲームはコードを書いてその通りに猫を動かすのではなく、 あらかじめ描いてあるコード通りに猫を上下左右に動かすゲームでした。 てっきり勘違いして購入しましたが、結構面白かったです。 値段も安いしオススメ。 全100ステージ。

ЛОГИКЕТЫ — миленькая игрушка для изучения основ построения алгоритмов. [quote=я] while you_play_and_learn: print("Game is good") [/quote] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3308191058 Как верно заметили в других обзорах, мы тут не программируем (программа уже дана), а выступаем в роли интерпретатора, то есть наша задача верно выполнить программу. Суть простая — довести котика до клубка. А для этого надо верно понять и выполнить алгоритм действий. В основном тут база типа операторов ветвления — if, else, else if, и т.д., цикл while, ну и функции под конец. На каждую задачку под 10 уровней, всего 100. На каждые 10 уровней, одна ачивка. Игрушка в целом короткая, если не отвлекаться, и не быть тормозом как я, можно пройти примерно за час и даже меньше. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3308191050 Как итог: для детишек или совсем нубов в программировании и основах построения алгоритмов, игра вообще шикарна, ибо и играется приятно, и выглядит красиво и можно понять, как и в какой последовательности все работает в программах. Рекомендую. 10 котов из 10 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1276824468 [i]P.s: если этот обзор был для Вас полезен ставьте лайк, а также добавляйтесь в друзья и подписывайтесь на меня как куратора - [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/28776273/] Обзоры онлайн [/url][/i]

Yeah it's an educational game alright. It should probably work best if you've just started learning to code like a few days ago. So Logicats forces you to read code and simply copy what the code would do - which is pretty cool because it sometimes involves nested loops, if/else structures, some simple functions at the end even, so it does help develop abstract thinking in "programming terms" so to speak. Basically good practice for an absolute beginner programmer. I write code for a living though so I breezed through the game in 22 minutes. Heh.
