Digital Puppet – Programming – Education Game Review
Digital Puppet – Programming is a Education/Puzzle/Casual game from Tatsuya Nakano, first launched in 24th February 2016.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 27+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Digital Puppet – Programming Stand Out
Digital Puppet is a very simple and beautiful programming puzzle game! Try to operate a puppet the way you want and beat all enemies!
The Rules:
1) Input commands for a white puppet (player) to beat all red puppet (enemies)
2) Tap a run button
3) If you can beat all red puppet (enemies), you win
(If you achieve the minimum number of commands, you can grab 3 stars)
The features:
● 80 beautiful stages
● Everyone (children to adults) can play the game
● highly addictive
● The 3 star rating system
● Awesome BGM and Sound Effects
The message from the developer:
Can you 3 stars on all stages?
Hints:
The key point is whether or not you can use JOB wisely.
If you can do it, you can use repetitive, looping procedures and solve all stages beautifully with much less number of commands.

This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The graphics are simple and clean. The interface is intuitive. The difficulty is all over the place, really. The ads are treated more like punishments than medication. If youre into this genre, this is a solid and fair use of your time.
Nice programming puzzle, simpler than Zachtronics titles and very bare bones (no QoL features) but still fun. Optimizing for shortest program length was a good choice; you have to hunt for spatial symmetries.
We couldnt get enough of this game. We got three stars on all the levels, and we wish there were more. Our only suggest (other than more levels) would be to improve the instructions. They throw you into the game without explaining almost anything. Its simple enough that we were able to pick it up, but others might struggle. Overall this thing is great.
A lightbot clone with more freedom to develop code anyway you like. The only negative we see is that there is no tutorial for people who are new to the concepts of the game.
