Nice work! Others have definitely given some great feedback, so not a lot to add. I’d have like to see some tooltips perhaps when hovering over a piece I’d already placed (memory like a fish - what did that one do again? haha)

I did not know I could rotate the tiles, until I read that in the comments. After that I finally got the hang of it. This the final design I came up with. Takes a few minutes for it to complete and scores 148 coins.

Lovely artwork :D As others have noted, the UI is not super clear and a speedup would be nice. But you know that already, so let’s focus on other things ;)

I quite liked the idea of holding the mouse to start the level. Makes it feel like you’re winding this big big machine up, cranking the handles manually :D I also liked how the game has two functional dimension and how you can rotate everything! A worse game would just have had dedicated vertical and horizontal objects, but you went the extra mile! I looooove the artstyle, everything is super quirky. The descriptions also written in a sharp and fun way.

I think you’re successful in eliminating Turing completeness, as I really don’t see a way for the machine to not halt, given that you have a finite amount of objects each with a finite amount of possible actions per round. Maybe there’s some fun glitch to get an infinite loop ;)

Really cool concept, felt like setting up a Rube Goldberg machine and then getting to watch it all play out. Very fun experimenting with each new piece and working out synergies and engines with the others. I think it could benefit from a speed-up button, as it can get pretty lengthy and repetitive later on, but I really appreciate the ability to rearrange everything freely so you can try out different layouts and ideas without worrying!

Nice idea and fits the theme well. I had a hard time understand what each piece was doing, why some were triggering more than once etc. The audio was pleasantly fitting.

Cool game! Our submissions have some similar gameplay concepts. I also had issues with loading assets close to the deadline, but related to fonts in bevy_rich_text3d. Assets on the web are often a pain point in Bevy projects in my experience, so you’re not alone there. I think it’s beneficial to build for web early and often with CI/CD on these projects to make sure that your application builds for the web throughout. Nice job on finishing a complete game in a week, it’s quite an achievement.
