Good game, funny story
Not recommended May 26, 2026
Its not bad but in the end I dont feel like finishing it, the reason being that I feel it is an experience thats more frustrating than interesting to solve. Overall the tools available do the job and you can make SOME interesting choices but after playing 11h i feel that the lack of choices weigh more heavily than the possibilities. And as always in these games, a bit more Quality Of Life would be nice, like why cant you easily use the V key to flip direction of the arms. The lack of QOL leads to just a lot of menuwork and manual labor when you need to rebuild the layout. It might be fine to pick up on a sale.

This game is super fun. Some levels can take you an hour or more to figure out what it wants you to do, and some of them are super easy. It's a great game if you like the visual programming style games, it reminds me of shenzenIO but it's more visual like snap was. You put food machines in the right order to acomplish what you need. No programming experience required.

Loved this game. I enjoyed the challenges and I liked the business mode that just let you play forever. I couldnt finish the game. the final couple stages where above my pay grade or something. :-) The game revolves around fitting an assembly line into a certain space and finishing the orders within the budget.
