Our Review
An assembly-language programming puzzle: you write code across a grid of tiny parallel nodes to repair a broken computer. Each node holds two registers and barely a dozen instructions, and passing data between nodes can deadlock — inside those constraints you compete on cycles, instructions and node count. From Zachtronics, makers of SpaceChem and Opus Magnum.
