Short sweet but a bit tedious looking forward to the promised updates, also the most original concept I've ever seen for a incremental game gameplay wise

Loved it! Really fun with having to discover everything with the minimal hints, I never felt completely stumped or at a loss and the game never felt too slow or too fast. Unfortunately, the game isn't all that unique as it's just an incremental take on the Sandbox/Falling Sands games of old and the interpretation of the theme leaves quite a bit to be desire, but this still is certainly the most enjoyable game of the jam. I look forward to what you do with the game going forward!

I love those sandbox games, if only there were more hints on what to do, but still, you've done really great ! I'm sure with more time it'll be complete !

It's great! I really enjoyed it <3

This feels like a great starting point for something much larger. Either way, I enjoyed the game as it is.

Enjoyed figuring out how to mass produce each element. I would appreciate a sandbox mode, it could be an upgrade to mark the end of content as well.

Here are some of my pet peeves upon loading up the game:

- The starting perspective is odd and doesn't show the whole grid.

- When you hover over some elements the grid jitters a bit.

- The stored amount isn't visible on some elements with long descriptions

- The start seems a bit slow.

I get what you were going for with this game, but I feel like it starts a bit too slow and small for me. Having to use middle mouse to pan the grid also meant that I was stuck with an awkward grid in the bottom right corner since I play with a touchpad.

Really enjoyed the gravity air and how it is used to make elements.
