Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
you have to just get started making slide decks

I will say the same as everyone else, this NEEDS a tutorial ^^ but it does look like a cool concept so I add it to a collection in case you keep developing it !

Developer

thanks for playing! I am actually still working on it so will keep you updated 

Submitted

I'm sure the game is fantastic, but my two brain cells couldn't figure out how it works.

I'm sorry. 

Developer

that's fair my bad 🙏 thanks for giving it a go anyway

Submitted

It seems like a fun and cool idea but i experienced alot of bugs and frusterations while playing. Some of those are, mergers adding things from 1 input together, not being able to delete a line or mechine, slide senders taking things from the same slide its on and messing up my line.  If you were to fix these things it would be a more enjoyable experience. Even though those things frusterated me i had some fun with it.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! yeah I just completely ran out of time to do much testing, but ive been working on it since and will definitely look into your bugs

Submitted

Good artwork and seems like it could be fun, just couldn't exactly figure out what to do.

Developer

yeah fair enough it definitely needs a tutorial 

Submitted

I'm glad I persisted on this one, as the others said was tricky to work out what was happening, just a case of not having enough time to do a tutorial (I had the same issue). Once I got to grips with it I loved it, got to lvl 4. Really cool concept and never would have thought you could make an automation game about slide decks haha

Developer(+1)

awesome really glad you liked it! yeah i ended up only having like 2 days to make it so couldnt do too much testing or adding stuff like the tutorial, but glad i could get the proof of concept finished

Submitted

I would have liked to have figured this game out but it was just way too unclear what I needed to do and how, even with the info dump in the description

Developer

yeah so fair, thanks for giving it a go anyway. i would have loved to get a tutorial in but just ran out of time. basically you're trying to produce slide decks that meet the goal on the first slide, so for the first goal you would:

1. on the second slide draw a line going from the red output port of the blank slide producer (on the left hand side) into the green input port for the previous slide icon

2. on the first slide draw a line going from the next slide icon into the target

Developer

i tried to post screenshots but it wont let me :(

Very intricate game! Took a bit to understand everything, but enjoyable overall

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

Fantastic game but it took me way too long to understand what I had to do because the blank square looked like  a screen to display something, I might just be stupid

Developer

no thats my bad i ran out of time to make a tutorial, thanks for playing!

Submitted

Very clever! I really like the challenge of having to send things around to different layers, it creates a really cool logistics challenge and there was obviously a lot of thought and design put into this. It did take me a while to figure out what exactly my goal was, but other than that, very solid.

Developer

thank you! yeah i was thinking it would be interesting to make an automation game where you don't have an infinite world
