how do you get a "u" I'm trying to make "unmuzzle"

Submitted

Nevermind, it's a "J" and a backwards "J.

Absolutely a brilliant game! My only suggestion is to maybe add a score for how "elegant" your solution is (maybe based on its footprint? or for how few factories you use?) Regardless, I had an absolute blast and will certainly look forward to seeing what else you all do!

Developer

Your wish is likely to come true in the very near future ;)

im verry comfused how to make a t

Developer(+1)

It'll get easier in the update coming soon :) For now, focus on how the T looks when you remove an L from it somehow...

Great game, absolutely love it! The only bug that I've noticed is a crash when I put a merger on the letter box, try to tie them together, delete the merger and try to tie a merger from anywhere to that box.

unfortunately couln't open it - there's been some error 

Developer(+1)

Are you on windows? Currently it is only supported for windows. If you're still having the issue on windows, usually closing the game, unzipping and relaunching will fix it. I'm so sorry for the issue! This will assuredly be fixed in the post-jam update as well.

The polish and creativity in this game is absolutely insane for a jam game!

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely amazing, the polish on this game is incredible. I'm going to be keeping this game on my desktop for whenever I feel bored since I feel like I could sit there for hours trying to create the optimal production line for a certain word. My only criticism is some of the letters are kind of unintuitive, and the inability to rotate mirrored letters (and vice versa) makes it a bit annoying. If you could get it to work that could mean multiple paths to each letter. New nodes to open up more options would be cool too! However, considering the scope of the 48 hours this is by far one of the best games I've seen in this jam so far, I'll see you in the GMTK video for sure!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! In our update we are working on it is possible finally to combine rotation and reflection, it was just much more complex for the scope of the jam so we didn't get that feature in in time. I hope you'll check it out after the new version is released! 

Submitted

I like the concept but couldn't get past T unfortunately, I tried everything I could think of.

You need to flip an "L" and add that to a sideways "i".

Submitted

ah, of course. Thanks!

How did u manage a game this polished in just 48 hours?? This is unheard of it is so fun! Some letters can be a bit difficult tho but you will figure them out eventually. The music suits the game and this idea is really unique and I never would've thought of this! Anyway congrats on making this game in time and I would appreciate if u could check out my game too and give some feedback. Good luck with your next jams and I'm sure you will make loads of good games in the future.

I adore the concept and presentation.  I hope you are able to expand the game because things like a glossary of how to make all the letters (after you have made them) and moving places factories would be great.  If I am the only one, please feel free to ignore this, but I got completely stuck on T, I figured out R and F, but not T.  Amazing work regardless.

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic concept and great presentation! I had a heck of a time making a T, and learning that ">" and "<" doesn't make an "X" makes me pretty much give up. But I'm still in love with the concept and enjoyed the time I spent on it!

Developer(+1)

Think "up and down" instead of "left and right"! Thanks so much for the kind words! 

Submitted(+1)

Incredible game! Very unique, extremely polished and a lot of fun. Really knocked it out of the park with this one!!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game. I love the art style and sound effects. Very polished. It would be cool to be able to move placed factories. Great work.

it's really tiring for me to do a lot of braining in a row, so i it kinda took me 3 day-long breaks to finish this game, but i did it! \o/ and i really enjoyed it! it looks and sounds very playful +having a lo-fi hip-hop radio is always great! just the idea of i's being produced, flipped and merged, to create complex words is super exciting to think about :D my favorite thing was creating little departments that created essential parts for a group of letters and then combining and twisting them to get the entire word :D 

though it was really frustrating trying to figure out x's and t's (and even n's in the end, i always ended up getting z's), so maybe have some hints on the store page? or in the game? because a lot of the time i felt like i'm in a deadend and there is nothing i can do to progress any further. (which is maybe partially why it took me so long to finish the game)

anyways, really exciting stuff! definitely one of the potential winners! would be really interested in playing a more "full" version

ps. with each ? we stay further away from god

Awesome job! One of the best game in this jam!
