Its kinda hard for me but I guess that's my skill issue lol
The first time I played I was really confused about what to do, but after understanding the game it's really fun and the game looks very polished.
good job!
This is my favourite game so far! An excellent amount of polish with sound sliders, pause menu, title etc., so satisfying to play, and great art! I think I made a factory that abuses the sprite limit to get infinite points over time without counting it down tho lmao, it was a blast to figure out
Awesome job, such a satisfying game, emergent gameplay with simple mechanics goes so far! Literally my only suggestion is an input buffer system maybe since sometimes I think my inputs get ignored if I tap them or something, but I learned to work around it, 20/20 perfect game
EDIT:
yep this strategy is very strong!
To fix this byob strategy (build your own battery) just make the starter bolt only orbit the center no matter what. Some other things I noticed are that the factories seem to break much much easier once the first one is broken, the spawn rate of factories goes down the more tiles you place (to fix they would need to attempt to replace if they are blocked). It would be cool if the play space increased gradually so that if you are really good you can keep building out even without the byob strat!
Took me a while to get the hang of but once I got into it, I really liked it. The game has an addicting nature that with more time could have someone play for hours on end in their free time. The art is also extremely good and very distinctive from its simplicity. Extremely great job, congrats on your game!
Not going to lie this took me a very long time to figure out what to do. I couldn't see the arrows. but the game is very neat and great concept! The presentation is also very well done. Great job!
This game is so awesome! It's so nice and chill and then you make one mistake routing your snake and things get wild in a hurry. I thought I did pretty good with my high score of 500 until I saw the screenshots lol. Great job!
Yeah Thanks :D The highscores can get pretty crazy in this game. My friend got a score of 18000 once and my personal best in around 13000. I think that the trick is not to rush it too much.
Super cool and chill game. Love the concept
Whoa, this is so polished and clever! Curious if there were any particular inspirations for the mechanics, because I feel like I haven’t quite played anything like it and I’d love to learn more.
Super super cool and addictive regardless :]
Nice calming music and colors. Gave me Mini Metro vibes and was really enjoyable! Despite not quite understanding how to play optimally.. First playthrough I didn't read instructions and it wasn't quite intuitive how to play. Then I discovered the way to build and control wires (actually reading helps!). But it was really easy to cross a wire and get overloaded very quickly. Played again, this time I pretty much played flawlessly, but couldn't figure out if there was anything I could do intentionally to get a better score or make the timer last longer. It was nice and relaxing though :) Felt good to get clean wire layouts and definitely started to hook me, just like Mini Metro. Love all the little details of animation and sound fx. Really excellent work!
Yeah. The reason the system got overloaded was because you crossed the wires. Crossing wires makes a secondary loop in the system, which infinitely makes more electricity. I definitely should have made that a bit clearer (maybe in a popup when you lose).
Edit: And you get more time from finalizing factories by fueling them long enough.
Thank you for the feedback! :D
it's really good and i emphasize the "really" part, extremely polished, addictive, charming, it has it all, you guys deserve top 5 at least
Fun little game. Couldn't work out where to click in the beginning but after I worked that out it was a lot of fun.
This is quite fun and an interesting take on a classic. Very replayable.
having to control where your "road" went instead of dragging and dropping is a fun choice :) lovely visuals too
This game definitely needs a tutorial at the start. Overall amazing work! Art, music, animations - all works nice and clean in the game. It's really fun to play!
Yes it definitely does need a tutorial, but I didn’t have enough time for one so popups will have to do :D
Awesome game, reminds me of mini metro.
Finished factories giving extra time is a nice touch as well.
Yeah! This game was kind of inspired by the feeling you get from Mini Motorways (their other game). I haven’t player Mini Metro myself but I assume it’s similar
Thanks for the comment!
Ah! That's the one I meant ;D
It was a bit confusing at first (finding the arrows) but after that, a pretty smooth experience. Really cool game, nice job!
Fun game! Ost fits the feeling perfectly! Controlls are easy to use!
Very addictive game. I had a problem finding arrows at first and my laptop heats up a lot when playing, otherwise great game!
I can't give this game anything but 5/5 on every category. It's awesome! Controls are smooth, game feels cozy, replayability is infinite! Love it.
