FORWARD THINKER
Take control of a small pixelated guy to make it to the end of the level... or don't. Because he doesn't like your control over him. You need to tell him exactly what to do before he even starts, by dragging actions into a timeline. After that, he's OUT OF (your) CONTROL.
CONTROLS:
Left Click to drag&drop actions.
(Shortcut, button at the down-right does the same) Right Click to play/rewind timeline.
Q to Go to the previous stage and E to skip the current stage. (Please don't skip unless you want to get to a specific level, if you're stuck, all answers for the stages are down below)
CHEAT SHEET (Solutions to all the levels, don't look unless you're stuck, # means empty, there are multiple solutions to some of the levels, but all of these work)
Level 1:

fun puzzle game, but the white rectangles (extender blocks?) are sometimes confusing. Also for the UI, I would recommend not allowing the player to move blocks while the bot is running and personally I would snap the blocks back to their original positions if they are placed invalidly (to avoid overlapping commands).
that... is a bug. you shouldn't be allowed to move actions during playtime. when I realised it it was too late so I figured if I don't mention it noone will know and now you're ruining it :P
Interesting Idea, i had something similar in mind when i first heard of the Concept, but then scrapped it because i didn't know how well id be able to make it work.
Well Done!
Thank you so much!
Cute design and clever puzzles, the title fits. It would be easier if I spend two seconds reading the tutorial messages.
