Nice game!

Developer

Thanks!

The sound effects are really jarring. Not sure I understand completely what I'm supposed to do either. I like the radial menu, though. :D

Developer

I'm sorry you didn't like the sfx, but I'm glad you liked the menu. If you want some more explanation about the game, read the description below the game (I didn't have time to put it in the actual game).

Thanks for the extra info. I'll give it another go! :)

Developer

Awesome!

Great Game but It is bit confusing some times
and controls too!

Developer

Yeah, it's kind of a weird concept to communicate. But if you're confused, I put some more info below the game on the page.

The Game is Great , But To Be Honest with you i'm not really a fan of puzzles !
The Rotating isn't good because it may make people( ME )  dizzy and thats not a good thing ! (Btw if you are free could you please rate my Game !Please)

Developer

um, ok. Do you mean the rotating triangles in the background, or rotating items?

Overall a very fun game, as a fan of puzzles I could keep myself entertained for hours. The problem is, one of the levels doesn't even have a switch. I don't know if it's part of the puzzle, but it doesn't seem  to be

Developer

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the camera didn't scale properly so the switch is off-screen :/

Developer

Thanks again for pointing out the level 5 error, it has now been fixed :D

I was very confused at first, but once I finally understood, I loved it! The actual goal of turning the machine is very interesting and not like anything I've seen before. The puzzles were very challenging but enjoyable to solve.


Good Job!

I am so glad you liked it!

Interesting game concept, but I don't understand what to do at level 2. And the game doesn't seem to scale properly. This game is a nice  change.

Developer

At level two, you're supposed to continue making useless machines like you did in level 1. (Sorry if I didn't make this clear, I wasn't really thinking straight at 1am Lol)
