Getting strong vibes of a Zachtronics game! Very simple concept that quickly escalates in complexity and minutia of puzzle solving, very good stuff.

The presentation is fantastic, cute graphics with calm trip-hop tunes, with popping sounds that add a lot of satisfaction to connecting factories together!

Oh and the way letters/words come out makes achieving the objective all the more satisfying, it's like the falling cascade of cards in the old Windows solitaire!

That's a very kind comparison, some of us are HUGE fans of Zachtronics so thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked it.

When I saw the hook, I had to test this right away. You used the theme in an amazing way! So much depth for such a simple idea. I would pay for this!

Developer

Aww!!! I am so glad you liked it, and thank you!

Wow! An insanely creative concept and very well executed as well. Would love to see this game fully fleshed out in the future

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!! We might actually do just that...

Very cool puzzle mechanic, and quite well presented. This is one of my favorites so far.

Developer

This game was the best game I played so far, appearance and fun wise! Unfortunatly I got stuck on the IT level, as I didn't find out how to build a T. How do you do it? because the way I thought you would do it was already the way you built an L and two Ls just one mirrored and combined also didn't work

Developer(+1)

Wow thanks so much for the kind words!!! I'm really glad you think so, and yes T's are a tricky one since the obvious answer makes an L. You certainly do need an L to make a T... Perhaps try thinking of what is left when you remove the L from the T? Hope this helps! :) 

Developer

Also, once you've beaten O you'll have access to all levels, so feel free to navigate back to the menu (you can restart, or press escape), and then try a different level if you get stuck :)

Submitted

I already knew the thing with the level select, but the tip for the T really helped. I was able to finish most of the levels now

Such a simple idea beautifully brought to life, well done!

Thank you so much!

I have a blast with these "coding logic" puzzle games! I had so much fun figuring out how to make letters the time just flew by so fast. The art is sooo cute and the music fits so well to the aesthetic. The little plot sounds are awesome and satisfying when you finally crack a word. Congrats!! <3

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game. It was SO fun to watch you play, you had a real knack for figuring this stuff out. Congrats on BANANA!

This game is beyond the scope of a game jam. Nice work!

Developer

We are really pleased with what we managed to pull off this weekend! I'm glad you liked it! 

Submitted(+1)

Its amazing. Seriously impressive.

Only bug I found was if you really crowd the machines together, you can get a crash when you try to hook them up. I guess when you place them so that there is no room for a wire/pipe to exist?

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yes that is a known bug, that we of course cannot fix anymore D: As long as the nodes are more than a single space apart it should be fine! 

very cool game! I'm just stuck on how to make a Y

Developer

Y is the hardest letter for sure! I'm glad you liked it! 

Submitted

How do I make a T?! Great game btw.

(+1)

you have to combine an L rotated twice with an I

Submitted

Ty, I made it through the rest of the levels with your help!

Nice clean art and a very unique concept. Great logic puzzles!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

This is a very polished game, I like the concept!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

Nice polish and great looking art/UI. Fun game!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this game is awesome! It's a super unique concept and very polished, and it was fun to logic out all the different operations for each letter (for some reason, "T" took me forever!)  It really makes you think about letters in a different way, thanks for making it!

Developer

Thank you so much!!! Yes T is a "T"ricky one for sure!

Pitty, error on Mac version on my computer. Opened window with black splash screen, title screen, music runs, then error in pop up "ERRO in action nubmer 1 of Alarm Event for alarm 1 ... ds_list_size argument 1 incorret type (string) expecting a Number at gml_Object_oUIControl_Alarm_1.

Music is very nice

Developer

Ah, sorry to hear that about the Mac version, Rafael. :( We will look into it, although for the GMTK Game Jam, the games are locked for 2 weeks during the rating period, so we may not be able to address it until then.

Submitted

yes, understand that
