Though it all looked awesome, I had no idea what to do with it. 

Developer

Sorry to hear that!

All you need to do is place the boxes onto the finish tiles so that the shape on the box matches the tile, and activate the finish.

Yeah, apparently the tutorial kinda explains how to do but not what to do, my fault.

Great Idea man, love the way you took the theme, the art is simple but fits really good. Awesome game!!

very creative game i love it reminds me of factorio but in a puzzle style which i really like 

a little suggestion "maybe add a node to each item like a circle or a plug because it's a little hard to connect them"

looking forward to see more levels :)

It seems interesting, but I can't get past the third level. I get the square boxes to the square finish, but nothing happened. I do like the concept though.

Thanks for checking out my game!

Did you have wired up the thing on the left? It takes boxes when the connected wire is activated.

I probably need to make a clearer indication of that feature.

Ohhh... I'll have to check that out. I might not an e done that.

Wow this game was an absolutely delight! I loved setting up my own systems to get the factory to run correctly, though it didn't feel very puzzley until the very last level, which was incredible. Having to juggle between the 1-2 second timers was fantastic, and I love the way the game was presented and just telling you to press play and see what happens. I'm a sucker for this type of game. Great job!

Thanks for your feedback!

Yeah, the first four levels were intended as a tutorial. I wanted to do more actual puzzles but unfortunately ran out of time.

I'm planning on releasing a major update later, so there will be more levels.

I love the look of this game. With such a minimal art style, it made it a lot easier to work through the puzzles, but it was still really pleasant to look at. I had to revisit the initial stage a few times to understand all the mechanics, but after that, it was fun to work through the solutions.

Awesome work. An enjoyable play.

Completed all five levels even though these games are not my cup of tea. Really good take on the theme, and well designed puzzle game! It's a solid foundation for a bigger project in my opinion :)

Incredibly creative! Such a unique idea. The mechanics worked smoothly and the difficulty gradually increased. Honestly, my only complaint is there weren't more levels. But what you have here is plenty to enjoy the game! Fantastic job!

It may have taken me forever to finally beat level 5, but the satisfaction of it all smoothly working was so satisfying. I'd say the only thing to improve is to put at least some tutorial (on the controls) somewhere, it took me a until the last level to have a proper grasp of how to click to draw lines and place stuff. Awesome game in any case, and the fact I did eventually get the controls shows how well made the learning curve is.

Amazing work! Super creative idea and also really well executed in my opinion. As for improvements, I think the selecting and controls of the boxes could be improved. I sometimes felt I had to click multiple times in order to actually "select" and rotate a block. That's really only a minor setback to an otherwise super cool game. I really had a lot of fun playing it, good job!
