Really strong entry! The puzzles were really good. I liked the art style and mechanics a lot! When I only had a few blocks to use, I felt like the puzzle boiled down to trial and error. Great work!

- A really fun and addictive puzzle-platformer. It’s super easy to end up playing “just one more level” and suddenly realize a lot of time has passed 😀 The pixel art is really cute and full of charm, and the music is very nice too, fitting the visual style of the game really well. The title is spot on, and the “god in the machine” concept is a great creative idea. That said, the “machines” theme doesn’t feel as strongly present in the actual gameplay as the title suggests, so it could be interesting to push that aspect a bit more in future iterations. Congrats on the work, and thanks for choosing Phaser for the project!
