I Am A Delight

It's a neat concept, and intriguing story, but I do not like how it seems to rely entirely on trial and error.
The only way to progress is to send the bot forward, see what happens, where it goes wrong, and adjust your sequence accordingly. Over and over. Until you make it through.
You can't see ahead, and try to plan things out beforehand. Only trial and error.
When it was already starting to feel obnoxious at the final puzzle of the demo, I can't even imagine what it's gonna be like later into the actual game.

But also discovering your surroundings as the bot progresses is part of the appeal of such an environment. Being able to see the entire path ahead before travelling it would lose some of that magic. Lose that discovery.
So I'm not sure what the correct way to "fix" this is.

Also, I don't think I skipped any of the tutorial text boxes, yet I didn't figure out you can adjust the duration of the segments with the mouse wheel until I went into the settings to check.

So yeah. Neat concept, cool visuals, potentially frustrating.
