Look, I'm the kind of guy who firmly believed he had no programming ability whatsoever. My last genuine attempt at programming anything was in high school where I got a C+ in computer science before bring brought aside by the teacher and politely told to never take a class like it again.

And I agreed with them, 100%.

Fast forward to now and I've been playing this game for the last two weeks. With the power of W3 Schools, MDN, Stack Overflow, and some motivation, I managed to make:

• A program to break into and nuke every network within my character's current abilities (and up to *literally all of them*)
  
• A deployment handler that lets me send and autorun scripts of my choosing according to a variety of options to suit my needs
  
• A botnet set to a configurable target in order to break them down and use them like a giant loot pinata (with plans in the works to automatically scan the network every few hours to automatically determine the most optimal victim according to my character's ability)
  
• A fully custom UI that automatically lists the top 6 server sizes I can afford with the option to purchase single or in bulk, with the ability to upgrade every server with the same filtering *and* with an automatically calculated total price listed.

The point I'm trying to make here is that the way you've tried to learn how to code in the past just might not have been the way your head works. Not everyone can thrive by learning in a sterile environment like so many coding courses try putting you through. And if you can relate even somewhat to what I said at the beginning, then I seriously recommend you try Bitburner for yourself.

It's fun and it has a lot of depth; I'm barely scratching the surface after 47 hours (at the time of writing), and honestly it's been a blast. The challenges are tangible, and for the most part not hard to imagine running into in real life cases, and the experience you get is incredibly practical since you're coding actual Javascript.

And, you know, it helps that you're probably gonna care a lot about your projects in this game.

Give it a shot and see if it itches your brain the right way. It costs nothing to try.

That poor elephant.

If you're looking for something to waste a bit of time with, you should definitely check out Frostrunner. The controls are tight and nice to use, levels are entertaining with plenty of ways to try shaving off a few seconds, and if you're an achievement hunter it's easy to 100% this. Also the game rewards you with finding the collectibles (Which aren't really that hard to find) by giving you a new set of "Insanity" levels to play.

However, I do wish the mechanics taught throughout the game were combined more frequently, and not just in the final set as well as Insanity set of levels.

I am getting real tired of saying levels. levels levels levels levels levels

I was hanging over a chasm of instant death with my grappling hook.

Game decided rope isn't a thing anymore and I fell.

It basically becomes Unintentionally Copping A Feel Simulator when you play multiplayer

And that, everyone, is why you don't use puzzles as an anti-virus program.

Red Trigger's not a very hard nor long game. There's only one puzzle that I got stuck on simply because I didn't realize a certain mechanic on my energy gun existed, and a few moments with trial-and-error in fast-paced sections of the game. Still, it's free and pretty fun for what you get. If you enjoy casual puzzling and have nothing else to do, consider trying this out.

I have no idea what I'm doing :D

8 minutes is all it took for me to hate this game. For the most part I try to keep myself from choosing if I like or dislike a game for around 2 or 3 hours. But this? No.

To be honest, I wouldn't have even considered downloading this if it weren't for one of my favourite Youtubers being threatened by these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because they think that "It is now citing incorrect facts that can now be interpreted as defamatory." What the hell?

So I chose to try this game out. As I cannot even describe in full detail my experience as it was about as boring and broken as the game is, I will just give you the basic rundown.

I start the game and practically instantly I am assaulted with generic rock music and a stretched menu. Oh boy this isn't going to be fun. I had to choose a monster truck which I did. A fire horse that I will now refer to as Rapidash just because I can. I go into the game and can't move. I assumed it was the arrow keys (which it was) but they wouldn't work. I figured out later that it was because there was a countdown and my only way to see that was if I looked to the very small countdown on the left. Not sure if that is my fault for not being observant, or the game's fault for tucking it away and making it so small.

I moved forward at a slow pace and tried turning slightly left. That failed as now I hit a ramp that was in front of me sideways with half my car not even on the thing. I still hit some vans that were where I landed though. They definately didn't look like actual vans. they were more of cardboard set pieces that were hollowed out. After a while of flinging about thanks to sensitive turning being a thing, I chose to try an actual match against the bots. That was a disaster. I tried to beat them once and failed with the same problems I had when in practice mode which was launching into the crowd, ramping off in the wrong direction, flipping over because I turned to fast and so on. In the ranking board I saw that I needed 150,000+ points to win. Nope. Alt F4. Didn't even deserve a click on the quit button.

Don't make me play this again.
