  • So, first off, nailed the theme. This game was very educational and teaches the player about the given topic to a high degree. I do think that educational aspect came at the expense of the "game" side of things, but I also assume more game would have come with more time. Game jams are quite limiting. It does come across as more of an educational experience than a game, though. In other aspects, the artwork is good, the audio fits, and the subject matter is interesting. Great work!

Loved the info on the machines and the sounds brought back some memories. Some on screen prompts on what to do next would have been handy as I did get lost a couple times. Otherwise I had fun learning. Good job dude.

Woah, I loved that! Gameplay-wise there was nothing riveting, but I really liked reading about the different machinery. Were the sounds taken from a real factory?

I think the game could be improved by maybe adding some way of actually operating the machinery, as well as incorporating the theme a bit more. as as far as I can tell, there wasn't really any failure to learn from.

Glad you like the information about the machines, was hoping that they will be informative. Yes, the sound effects are from real life, recorded with the phone at the company were i work, we have this SMD line, is the configuration as in the game. I am planing on working on it in the future and improve it, give the player more things to do.

The game is very interesting and quite beautiful, I learned quite a bit but not from my failures, the theme is "learn from failure" and not just "learn", I also had a bug when trying to interact with the second machine with the plastic (I think it's plastic) in my hands before turning on the machine and the plastic was destroyed, I had to restart the game. It remains an innovative and polished prototype that teaches us many things

The bug is fixed but did not uploaded it to itch so that it does not interfere with the jam, will work on it in the future to improve it and make it more of a game.
