It's an interesting game, but I was immediately put off by level two, which sinks you into the limitations of the robot API by making you introduce a counter that needs checking. That would be totally counter-intuitive for beginners.

Was the pun intentional here?

No. In fact, initially I put "unintuitive" there, but the spelling-checker marked it as an unknown word while it is perfectly valid English.
Not to mention you can just use robot.move(1); robot.jump() in the main loop and complete the level with just that.
