What it is
Maybe... I'll go to the beach is a spatial programming puzzle game currently in development. In the demo, players build small programs by placing objects on a grid on the left side of the screen, then watch the right side to see whether their program solves the level.

I love spatial programming, so I wanted to make a game about it!
You create conditions/actions on the left side by putting objects on a grid, then watch on the right side to see if your program solves the level.
FEATURES
Cool type of programming
+50 levels
Open ended puzzles
Inspired by Cellular Automata, CellPond (TodePond), MarkovJunior (mxgmn), Ping Pong the Animation
Thank you! I hope you find it interesting!
Editor takes
“A clever spatial-programming idea squeezed into a 10-level demo, but the barebones onboarding keeps it from feeling fully polished.”
“A nice browser-sized distraction for a lunch break, though I'd want proper save/checkpoints before I commit to 50 levels.”
“The rule set is elegant once it clicks, but relying on a help section instead of a tutorial makes the early aha moments feel more like guesswork.”
“No hitboxes here—it's a thinky grid game, but the drag-and-drop flow felt deliberate and the 10-level curve left me wanting more.”
How to play
Each level presents a goal that must be achieved by creating conditions and actions on a grid. You place objects representing rules on the grid, then run your arrangement and observe the simulation. Adjust your program until the level is solved.
Tips
- Read the in-game manual if the interface is unclear.
- Start with the early levels to learn how icons are placed and combined.
- Try adding multiple icons into one section once you understand the basics.
- Use the visual simulation to see which rules fire and which don't.
- Experiment with open-ended solutions rather than looking for one exact answer.
