Oh just that! Sorry that wasn’t too clear honestly. It felt consistent that anytime I was away from the main area for just 5 minutes I’d come back and all my machines were all clogged. But if I cleared it up and watched it, they ran smoothly. But sometimes either randomness or something I’m not clear on, made like an egg get stuck and just halt the whole thing. I couldn’t get a consistent stream going to get the final 300 eggs per minute(?).

I loved this game. Great idea, interesting story, awesome aesthetics. The controls felt solid, the upgrades felt rewarding. I think I did 99% of the content, I just couldn't unlock the final door because my runs kept breaking due to physics issues maybe. A few thoughts if that's cool:

• Wasn't too clear I needed to click on the wall things, maybe a tool tip or light tutorial would have been useful.
• A sign tool for marking my world could be helpful "nothing here" "story area this way" etc.
• Another set of controls for rotating stuff on the other axis would have helped. Maybe the mouse scroll wheel for distance from player as well.
• The economy gets too strong near the middle-to-end. I think the time it takes to build new runs takes too long that by the time I'm done, I don't even need the money for that run. By the middle of my play-through I had more money than I could keep up with.
• Conveyor belts feel a bit broken. I think the pushing walls need to be taller. Also, having to put walls around them was a bit tedious . They were the most common spot for things to break.
• Conveyor belts also seem to affect performance? I noticed my computer's fans kicked on once I started adding those.
• The physics feels a bit too random. Maybe less randomization on egg spawn. My runs that were working just fine would randomly get congested.
• The physics seem to break when you're far away. I had a hard time exploring and slowly building out new runs because when I'd go back to the main area, all my runs would be clogged. I wish I could have just paused the game while I build.
• I think there should be like a $1000 egg bomb tool that destroys all eggs. Or eggs should expire. Near the end, I just always had piles and piles of eggs to deal with.
• I think a funnel or some sort of tool for connecting runs better could have been useful.
• Lastly, of course a windowed mode and letting the game run when not in focus.

I'm sure you're aware of all this and I know this is a prototype :) but maybe it's helpful. Looking forward to seeing this get expanded on! Overall I really loved it. I would have paid like $5 at least for this early access experience alone. It's great!

thank you for helping mr. slime, holy crap. i was stressed no one would help.
