One of few I actually completed fully, which is a feat within itself. The unlocking of the placeable lasers takes a little too long in my taste, but overall everything else was balanced well. Upon unlocking the lasers, the game speeds up significantly and then becomes fun but with no goal it's mostly moot.
No bugs found, which is really impressive. Additionally, even the simplistic art adds so much more to the game than just text or random boxes. Well crafted, and well thought out.
I do wish some of the concepts were explained, like how heat effects generation, or what the conversion from Potential Energy to Actual Energy is.
Only major gripe is a unfortunate lack of the theme, which is probably what keeps this game from being the top contender (Though it is still strong within it's own right.) A full release game of this might be enjoyable to try out, more manual lasers to use, other boxes or some kind of story or lore of some sorts. Obviously not within the realm of a game jam game, so overall very well done.

Thanks, wasn't really expecting this game to be liked so well lmao
I originally planned to make the goal to turn the box into a black hole, where mass would play an effect as it sucked in your lasers and you had to constantly build new ones, but I procrastinated on other things for a bit too long to implement that
