Crazy to see a zachtronics style game in a jam. It's really impressive and fun to play once you figure out how everything works. I made it pretty far on my 3rd run once I had it mostly figured out. I never was able to understand how the duplicator works. I think it'd be nice if there was a tutorial level that let you undo stuff and mess around a bit to understand how to place things and the mechanics a bit, I had to refresh the game a few times when starting cuz I wasted a ton of energy trying stuff out. But this also seems like it was a crazy amount of work so I get not having time to make an interactive tutorial. Great work on this!

Good to have a fellow zachtronic player here! I am glad you enjoy the game!
Yeh it took me quite a while to nail down the core mechanics and that really drains a lot of time. I guess it's around 10 days or so. Would really want to get the tutorial in too but sadly ran out of time. Ah, btw the duplicator currently is a bit bugged, that somehow it only works when input from the right (and the equivalent direction when rotated) came last. Some how this got missed during the final check :(
