What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“You Are The Code has over 100 levels and many mechanics. I want to add more levels that explore the mechanics to a greater degree. Player feedback on both difficulty and clarity of mechanics is essential to making an enjoyable experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current plan is 1 to 2 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add additional levels which explore the mechanics in more depth. I believe this will result in levels that are more difficult, but are still satisfying to solve.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game has:

Over 100 levels
Over 25 mechanics (by mechanics I mean functions like "output" or "swap" would count as one each, bugs eating code as another, etc)
The ability for players to create their own custom levels (using their own external text editor)

”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to increase the price as more content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to be actively engaging with player feedback, suggestions, and bug reports on the discord.”

About This Game

Programming puzzle game, but YOU CAN'T TYPE. Navigate and run pre-existing lines of code to make your output match the goal! Watch out for bugs eating away your code!

Each level of You Are The Code consists of prewritten code. You get to choose which lines to run in order to match the desired output. Each time you move up or down a line, the bugs will advance and try to erase your code! In some cases, maybe that's not such a bad thing...
