Algo Bot on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/286300/

Algo Bot is pretty charming. It sees the devs of Epistory: Typing Chronicles try their hand at a different type of game genre, where you focus on programming a bot to solve problems. The game gently introduces new concepts into play; the key then becomes one of optimisation. It's pretty neat.

All my gripes right now have to deal with quality-of-life improvements. Since my stream, keyboard controls and rebinds have been added; however, my chief wishes are for more graphics options to lower the quality, an easy way to determine from the main menu whether you perfected a level without having to load up the level and replay it again, and a way to skip cutscenes you've watched a million times. Plus I don't like waiting for a few seconds just to see how I did; it adds unnecessary waiting time.

Oh, and just for kicks there's some bonus Epistory gameplay at the end. Fishing Cactus' first game was one of my top games of 2016, and this video shows me playing the arena mode (and typing 2 stupidly long words - always pretty fun).
