Huh, this seems neat, but I gotta be honest, I didn't get it at all :D Took me a while to realize that the display on the left was a knotting machine and even after that, while I did realize that I needed to balance numbers, I didn't really understand how the system worked (I suppose it's something base-4-y, but then there's also this thing with the empty knots and stuff, so maybe it's just math beyond my understanding). I guess this is a discovery game so I wouldn't be too on the nose with tutorials, but I'd still like some better player guidance. Maybe have some more examples of working setups that players can use to derive rules from? Apart from that, this seems interesting, and the cat is very cute!

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! You're really close to getting it, so I'll leave you to try if you'd like. I'm working on a bit of an introduction, trying not to be too on the nose, as you said, cause it's not a system that's too straight forward. I'm glad you liked the game! I hope you try it again after the post-jam update!
