How does your game fit the theme?
Everything in Welcome is about loops. From the micro-loops of marbles bouncing endlessly, to the feedback loop of cloning new types, to the existential loop of endless unpaid internships—this game celebrates creative cycle-building at every turn.

Gameplay reminds me of that XKCD, very addictive. Liked the graphics. If only the physics was more deterministic because some of my more fun setups only worked half of the time. Nicely done!

Very nice idea, I love it!

Very cool Idea and match the theme very good. Tried to figure it out but still struggled with the mechanic. The clean art style match very good.

Very nice artstyle and gameplay. I love how you styled the border so that it became part of the store page.

Nicely polished and built out. All the different mechanics can be a little overwhelming at first

Looooove this loopy world y'all have built. Funny writing. Beautiful clean design. 

Excellent work!

Neat artstyle and music! Really got into it and caught myself like an hour later trying way too hard to optimize those little marble paths :)

Wow that's nice. I really liked it. The music and art are really great AND you have narrative ! Great game

Waouh, it's a really beautiful game ! I like the humor so much, i think you're a funny human, with maybe problems with capitalism ? I like the art, gameplay and the music is on point for this game !

Really cool and polish game. I really like the option without dialogue :) !

I had a lot of fun with your game ! I don't remember, but i think i was like thirty minutes playing and trying to optimise my chain of little chaotic balls ! I love your game !

This is great, I had a lot of fun playing this for longer then I should have! With a bit more content this could be a full release game! My only issue is that sometimes the exact positioning and direction of the balls suddenly changes and messes everything up causing me to have to remake most of my stuff.

So… I’ve been playing this game for almost an hour now, clearly I’ve been enjoying it :D I have to say this game is amazing!

Already in the menu with the 2 start buttons the fun started. The introduction dialogue was quite funny too. When I started the game initially I was a bit confused about all the buttons but the explanations worked well and I did figure out what each button does.

I then proceeded playing the game, and quite quickly found the marbles doubler. And just because I can I tried using half of it’s output to fuel itself which did work (most of the time). I then proceeded discovering new rooms mostly just by using the accelerator room type and just putting a bunch of holes on the walls.

I did eventually manage to provide the people with marbles although it was very inconsistent. I think it’s kind of sad that Godot’s physics system is unpredictable since that often times made it a little bit more difficult, especially when accelerating marbles.

Also I realised when I start drawing inside a square and end draw over the border, the line renders but has no collision and cannot be deleted.

Apart from that it’s pretty much amazing. I love the visuals, the sounds (even though it was just music)… it’s just such a great game! I had a great time experimenting!

Really cool!

This is really neat! I ended up trying to pump balls into the side of the splitter room, and I was really confused for a while so that's a bit unintuitive but otherwise really fun.
