Loved the concept! Clever way to get the most out of just three days of time as a solo dev. The math mechanics were effective. My nitpick would be that I would have liked the level reset to be quicker after a failed attempt. Great project :)

Truly incredible. Made it to the last level and I was sad to see it end. Super fun and charming!

Really deep and interesting puzzle with a nice art style! I completed all levels, it was fun=) It will be cool to try other mechanism layouts. Great game!

Amazing. Art, audio, concept, gameplay... everything is perfectly polished. But I don't really see reason for there to be Isaac. EXTRMELY fun gameplay with ACTUALLY GOOD audio design (which is rare in jam games!)

Overall, one of the GREATEST games of the jam! Excellent work!

Ok this game is AMAZING like WOOOOWWWW what an incredible work !!! Polished, clean, the concept is amazing, the puzzles are incredible !!

This concept deserves a 5/5 ! 

The ONLY flawn i could see is that you dont know where the process starts at the first try of the puzzle... But its nothing x) 


Amazing work, loved playing it and keep going !

Developer

Thanks for the encouraging words :D

Really cool game, the tutorial is very well done, and I enjoy how you slowly introduce new monsters. I want to see these living cities though, they sound cool.

Developer

Nice to hear that you enjoyed the game :)

You can see a city in the background of all the puzzles, but I'll probably make them more central if I make this into a full game

The presentation, game design, concept, it is all stellar! It was so satisfying when a machine would work first try and hilarious when it would, unexpectedly, go horribly wrong. I think this is a great concept you could build on. It would be cool to see the characters power strange machinery to give more context to the in-game actions.

I'm glad you liked the game :)
