Love it. I don't play a lot of puzzle games or factory games , but this one was well made, I could get onboarded, understood and enjoyed :)

This is sooo good. I've never played a zachtronics or similar game (but have had my eye on them) and you have sold me on the experience so well. I liked the slow introduction of elements to build with. It was pretty tough because I'm not used to this type of planning. Had a great time with it!

This is an excellent game, the theme of the puzzles and the mechanics fit perfectly.

 Additional, the sound and art are good. 

Congratulations!

Quite a fun game! I love how snappy the sound effects sound - very satisfying. Gameplay and visuals are fun all around. Nicely done!

The game has a great game feel with the sounds and looks. The furnace only out-putting in certain directions I missed and got stuck on a level.  I really love the idea of taking a factory game and turning it into a puzzle!

Wow, it was really fun, I'm not in this kind of games, but i was stuck playing for a while. I really like the game.

a pretty fun concept, but the genre of this game benefits from having shortcuts to do an action of the game, like, pressing Space Bar to run the factory, pressing 1 you start using the wood, and so on. But, it has great visuals and sound design, pretty good game.

Oh no, a factory game, my one weakness! I definitely played your game for way too lon. It's really fun. The limited amount of space makes the leves extra challenging, especially once you start optimizing your machines.

FINALLY A GAME ABOUT A FACTORY!!!

I love games like this, done perfectly. The visuals are very good too, got stuck somewhere around the third level because I didn't realize that the ovens can be rotated too, not the most understandable mechanics. One of the best games I've played on this jam!

instant 5 stars!

Developer

Yeah in retrospect I could have made the rotated furnace more prominent in level 3, was hoping that the rotate hint in the bottom left would cover it. Thanks for the kind words!

The first idea that came to mind with the theme reveal, glad somebody did it as skillfully as you did !

This game deserves way more attention. It's bold, with a perfectly tuned level design curve, and seriously... this is like FACTORIO made for a game jam—unbelievable! I can't believe I'm the first one commenting here. It really reminds me of Nova Lands. Fantastic job, everyone!

Developer

I'd not heard of Nova Lands, I'll have to check that out. I appreciate the kind words!
