TIS-100 - Someone programmed a game about programming

[Rujasu]

From the Infinifactory/SpaceChem devs Zachtronics comes a game about programming an 80s microcomputer in pseudo-assembly code. It's about as hardcore as it sounds.
I have the GOG version so I don't get friends list high scores. Interested to know if any of you play and what kind of cycle counts you've been getting in your solutions.

Edit: Official blurb for padding:

TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!

The Tessellated Intelligence Systems TIS-100 is a massively parallel computer architecture comprised of non-uniformly interconnected heterogeneous nodes. The TIS-100 is ideal for applications requiring complex data stream processing, such as automated financial trading, bulk data collection, and civilian behavioral analysis.

Despite its appearances, TIS-100 is a game!

Print and explore the TIS-100 reference manual, which details the inner-workings of the TIS-100 while evoking the aesthetics of a 1980’s computer manual!
Solve more than 20 puzzles, competing against your friends and the world to minimize your cycle, instruction, and node counts.
Design your own challenges in the TIS-100’s 3 sandboxes, including a “visual console” that lets you create your own games within the game!
Uncover the mysteries of the TIS-100… who created it, and for what purpose?

Great, with this I can finally relive the most boring classes of my high school days!

It's a weird ****ing niche. If you aren't a programmer, it's cryptic as ****. If you are, you probably don't want to spend your free time doing your job.
Then there's the people who like it anyway.
