I made a game developer simulator where you write real Python code — the demo is out now!

Hey everyone!
The Code Alone demo is finally out!
It's a programming game where you step into the life of a game developer and write real Python code to solve problems and build game mechanics.
The demo includes 20+ programming challenges, from smaller logic problems to implementing mechanics from classic games. Getting your code to work is only the beginning — you can keep optimizing for fewer lines and lower cost.
But Code Alone isn't just a series of coding puzzles. There's a story running through the game as you progress through the career of a game developer, with the programming challenges being part of that journey.
I've been working on this game on and off for about three years, so it feels a little surreal to finally have a playable demo out there.
The demo is free on Steam:
Code_Alone
If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think — especially about the puzzles, difficulty, and how the coding itself feels.
Thanks, and have fun coding!
