Very Cool!

Super impressive to put together an automation style game like this is such a short amount of time!

I would have liked a little more explanation in terms of item values to help make the cost/benefit decisions on what to make, but otherwise it was really fun and feels like a great foundation that could be expanded into a much bigger game given more time!

Just need more of an explanation or tooltips to show us what were doing but otherwise good try for the 7 day event :)

Interesting concept with solid gameplay. A tutorial or clearer explanations for how the machines work would improve the experience. Adding a restart option and some basic audio would also enhance the overall feel.

Great job on the game! I definitely think the types of components needed some explaining, it took me a couple of tries to find an combination that worked. I like this style of game though, cheers!

Took some time to figure this one out, but it was pretty interesting to play, I liked that. Nice work!

Idea is nice but I think you miss a tutorial or some explanation of how each item can transform a resource. As there is no option to restart, it's really a lot of retry to find how we are supposed to make it work.

Really like this game, simplistic but also complex. my main feedback would be maybe some kind of tooltip or info window to explain/show what the machines do, as well as some way of manually speeding up the clock so you're not sitting around waiting sometimes. Love the idea!

Nice idea! I like automation games thus trying this game first out of all others. Some feedback would be to be able to "restart" the round within the first few seconds so you can understand how the machines work. Also some more help/tutorial about the machines could help out. Some basic audio would not hurt either.
Overall, it's a nice concept and a fun idea!
