Did you work in a team?
I made almost everything in the game, with some help in level design from a friend

Was the resolution a challenge?
Mainly UI lmao

What did you learn?
I entered mainly because the 64x64 resolution looked interesting to make a game in.

cool game for sure, but maybe some explanation on the controls and on what to do would nice. i dont know what should i do to play right now, whats the purpose, or even how to control it

Nice puzzle, took me a bit to understand the “open menu” hint as it looke more like pressing down rather than going out of the scree in that direction. Also getting all the way down and then back up again to place a tile is a bit tiring… maybe some other key combo could do like long press or secuence (like hold place button + start butto). Other than that, the game plays weel and has nice challenges. Good job!

Pretty cool game. I took me way too long to figure out the inventory, but once I did, I had fun. The almost musical sound of all the balls going in the goals at the end was pretty cool too. Nice job!

Very cool to see this kind of game on PICO-8! I agree that the inventory was not really intuitive to use, I don't know if the console allows for more than 2 action buttons, maybe a combination could have worked as well.

nope, only O and X
> maybe a combination could have worked as well
Olbap suggested that I could make it so that you hold O to play simulation and press it to open inventory I didn't like it at the time but now it seems that people find that better than scrolling down so...

Took me a minute to figure out what to do, but this is a nice little puzzle game!

I really like the Zachtronics puzzle games, played all of them. This is quite a nice minimalistic interpretation of the genre, very cool idea and execution!

Really cool concept and fits the 64*64 restriction well, however one recommendation is make opening the inventory a button instead of having to go all the way down to open it.

That was fun and relaxing puzzle game
