This was really fun to play! My only complaints were that I would get really close and have to fully reset to try again and that I wasn't sure which gears were going to turn automatically at the start of each level. A way to pause and start the gears, while making changes in between, as well as some more visual indicators would really help. Great work!

Thank you for the feedback! I’d appreciate it a lot if you had any specific suggestions for visual indicators. Currently it’s really just “on fire or not” and “is it a goal”, so I think a few more like “what direction it will move if it’s a motor” and “is the goal activated” would be helpful. As for the pause/play, that’s definitely on the list now so thanks!
If I were making it, I’d maybe connect all the gears to generators with wires. The wires could be different colors for powered/unpowered or an animation could play for the powered generators. Then the goal could shift to powering the unpowered generators. A simpler solution would be to put a little icon (lightning bolt or target) in the middle of the corresponding gears
