A downloadable game

This game was heavily inspired by a glitch in retro games known as "Arbitrary Code Execution", or ACE for short. The goal is to line up variables in a specific way and "execute" them.

Objective and gameplay:
Every level has an "ACE Block" that acts as the goal of each stage. Once anything comes into contact with it, gameplay will come to a halt and compare the variables with the objectives.

Move the character with WASD and spacebar.

Hover the mouse over the variables to see exactly what they are, and the number below them is the goal.

You can pick up and throw blocks by holding shift. When letting go of shift, you kick a block. You can aim where you kick by holding W or S.

There are 11 levels in the game: (in case you're wondering how close you are to completing the game)

•Smack the ACE Block!
•Around the wall
•Over the wall
•Juggling
•Hexadecimal
•Inside the walls
•Volcano
•Alien Invasion
•Momentum Mori
•Whale of a time
•Multireference

This is a puzzle game! All levels are possible. Good luck!
(And if you're stuck on a level and have given up, here's a link to the solutions)

Have fun!
