Okay, hundreds of players are discovering our programming game right now. 👀 But I have no idea where they're coming from! I can see lots of sales from Brazil in the backend, but I can't find the source of this hype.

If you know where this is coming from, I'd love to know! 😅

Start with just a few lines of Python code.
Step by step, your drone automates more of the farm 🌱🤖
Before you know it, your logic runs everything.

Is this how you imagined learning Python?

Skip the boring tutorials ⏳
Here you use Python-like code to control a drone and make everything run by itself 🤖🌱
Learning programming has never looked this fun.

Do you think this is real coding or just a game?

Bonescape is an exploration and trading game I've been working on: The discovery of a giant, verdant boneyard spurs on a flood of explorers, hunters, homesteaders, outlaws and merchants - and you.

Was ist los mit dem Titel von diesem Spiel? 🤨 The Farmer Was Replaced klingt seltsam, ist aber eine geniale Simulation, in der ich Farmdrohnen mit einer Python-ähnlichen Sprache programmiere. 👇

Hab #HenryHalfhead mit meinem Fünfjährigen gespielt. Sehr charmantes Spiel, das @lululu.games da gezaubert hat

«Henry Halfhead» angespielt: Dieses Schweizer Game ist nicht auf den Kopf gefallen

Henry ist ein halber Kopf, der sich in beliebige Gegenstände verwandeln kann. Das ungewöhnliche Spielprinzip lädt zum Experimentieren ein, was nicht nur meinem Fünfjährigen gefällt.
