This is ingenious. Wonderful concept, and amazing execution.

This game is fantastic, it is beautiful and so well polished. I love the little tweening effects when hovering over buttons, and the pops when placing things. Well done on creating such a fantastic game in such a short space of time. I only got up to GOAT for now but I will be back to play more very soon. Well done

Excellent game! The art is very beautiful, the gameplay is unique and different, discovering the new letters is cool and, starting from the letter T, intuitive enough. I liked the option to make our words I even left mine there "United" a little reference to my game but also to the theme hehe. My only feedback is that the letter T could be more intuitive to make and the game crashes a few times which made me lose a lot of progress at times (three times I left factories kind of outside and I think it bugs sometimes), but still finished! Excellent job!

Great concept, but frustrating not being able to figure out how to make T.  Seems like it should be simple, but somehow isn't.  If there's a concept that's not being shown maybe T needs to be ramped up to and start making words with easier letters?

Easily one of the best games in the jam. Incredibly original concept, superbly polished, and a really fun game to dive into. There's not much else to say but: wow.

Awesome job on this! Super fun! Really clever and makes you feel smart for figuring out all the combinations to build the letters, love the it then shoots out letter built animals when you get it all right! Awesome job, can't wait to see more! :D

Ha, figured out the crash at launch, I had to change the Usex64 to true in the options.ini :)

Super polished for a game jam game! And innovative and interesting mechanic, one of my favourites so far!

Congrats :)

Really an amazing entry ! The concept is original and amazing, the UI is clean, the tutorial is really well done and everything is so beautiful and so polished !

It's a shame you can't move the buildings, but that's really nitpicking

Developer

Thank you so much! Yes we are sad about being able to move the buildings too, but that's already working in an update we have planned for post-jam! Thank you so much for the review and the feedback.

Awesome visuals and concept!

Very very clever design. I am very impressed with the level of polish for a 48 hour jam game!

This is insane for a 48h game! I feel like I'm playing something off steam. See you in the GMTK video!

Submitted(+1)

The more I play the more it feels unreal that this was created in 48h, the amount of polish and attention to detail is endless!

The concept is amazing and the execution is somehow even better!

Easily the highlight of this jam!

I'm consistently getting this bug when connecting A factories to its endpoints.

Could it be because I tend to clutter all my factories kind of together?

Great game guys, one of my favourites of this jam. Have gotten really into it haha, this bug/problem reports are not criticism at all, just some imput from someone who's playing so you have more test cases to improve.

Developer

Hey glad you're having fun!! Yes we believe this bug is caused by trying to connect two nodes which are a single grid space apart. Just try to make sure the nodes are at least two spaces apart when connecting them and you should be fine!
