This is my favourite game so far! An excellent amount of polish with sound sliders, pause menu, title etc., so satisfying to play, and great art! I think I made a factory that abuses the sprite limit to get infinite points over time without counting it down tho lmao, it was a blast to figure out
Awesome job, such a satisfying game, emergent gameplay with simple mechanics goes so far! Literally my only suggestion is an input buffer system maybe since sometimes I think my inputs get ignored if I tap them or something, but I learned to work around it, 20/20 perfect game
EDIT:
yep this strategy is very strong!
To fix this byob strategy (build your own battery) just make the starter bolt only orbit the center no matter what. Some other things I noticed are that the factories seem to break much much easier once the first one is broken, the spawn rate of factories goes down the more tiles you place (to fix they would need to attempt to replace if they are blocked). It would be cool if the play space increased gradually so that if you are really good you can keep building out even without the byob strat!
Nice calming music and colors. Gave me Mini Metro vibes and was really enjoyable! Despite not quite understanding how to play optimally.. First playthrough I didn't read instructions and it wasn't quite intuitive how to play. Then I discovered the way to build and control wires (actually reading helps!). But it was really easy to cross a wire and get overloaded very quickly. Played again, this time I pretty much played flawlessly, but couldn't figure out if there was anything I could do intentionally to get a better score or make the timer last longer. It was nice and relaxing though :) Felt good to get clean wire layouts and definitely started to hook me, just like Mini Metro. Love all the little details of animation and sound fx. Really excellent work!
Yeah. The reason the system got overloaded was because you crossed the wires. Crossing wires makes a secondary loop in the system, which infinitely makes more electricity. I definitely should have made that a bit clearer (maybe in a popup when you lose).
Edit: And you get more time from finalizing factories by fueling them long enough.
Thank you for the feedback! :D

Yeah! This game was kind of inspired by the feeling you get from Mini Motorways (their other game). I haven’t player Mini Metro myself but I assume it’s similar
Thanks for the comment!
