Crystal: Automaton

Was only going to trying for 1 hour, i end up finishing the game :) Short game but really nice, hope to see Crystal: Automaton 2 someday.

I do love factory games, and I love when you finish the game, this was really cute, and easy!

A short, sweet, simple automation game. A perfect entry point for those new to the automation genre - the ratios are simple (1:1 or 2:1), it has "function"-like structures (Infiniboxes), and the slowly growing tech tree keeps giving you something new to do right up until the end. For more experienced automation players (*cough* Factorio fans *cough*) this game serves as a quaint sandbox to invent your own challenges. It's so short and the map grows in an interesting enough way to make it a decent speedrun game, and the limited total map space + inifiniboxes can provide an interesting personal "max resources / second" challenge. For the asking price, I can't complain - It was a fun way to kill a few hours.

Played it with half my brain active, no problems getting all achievements at all. Everything done within 3~ hours. It's fine I guess, but more of a small snack for automation fans. Sorter should have a rest option imo. Overall, it was funny. Totally worth it.

Short but fun

Great game. If you're like me and love the idea of playing Factorio but get overwhelmed just thinking about starting it, you'll love this. It's a two-to-four-hour experience, and it's really great. My only real complaint once I understood the game is that I’d love a bit more feedback on production efficiency to encourage continued play and optimization after seeing all the content. Nevertheless, it was well worth the price and I really enjoyed it
