MicroFab

I really wanted to enjoy this game, but you can quite clearly tell that its just AI coded. The gameplay could be fun, except for the baffling UI choices. There's a scaling option that mostly works, except for changing scaling makes minigames unplayable, text gets cut off, highlighted boxes don't match up, and more. And if you have a 1440p monitor like me, you are going to need scaling because the UI is incredibly small on default scaling. Speaking of minigames, most of them just seem to be straight up broken for me. Either the controls don't work, or the power gen puzzle especially will give me puzzles that have literally no possible solution so you are forced to pay the crazy expensive "fix immediately" price. The controls are also... interesting to say the least. For example, F1 is a help menu, logical. F2 is the settings menu, and F3 is the "main menu" which is just "cancel" "save and exit" and "exit". Every time I try to quit the game, I would have to go into the settings and look at the controls menu to see how since alt+f4 does not work. While I appreciate disclosing that claude was used to code the game, its pretty obvious regardless since the game is just built on electron …

While I like the concept the execution leaves a lot to be desired. First thing first, if you have a large monitor you can either pick between larger text but a UI that does not know what to do, or very small text - Much of the text is also on colors that makes it even harder to read, research is especially bad here. Constant pressure to earn more money via increasing rent price, while the products you sell are worth less via saturation. - Forcing the player to make new and better chips is OK, but after the tutorial there isn't much clarity as to "how" to make the next gen chip, leading to a death spiral Constantly having to purchase more resources, barely scraping by. It just gets stressing without adding anything to the actual gameplay.

this game is very very cool, now I cannot read after my stroke so tuf for me, but dang I am loving this type for sure. So yeah this game is really fun even if I slow, I love it to just work on the game, and I love that type :-)

I'm only a few hours in and I'm already kinda hooked... Asides from a few minor bugs this is a really fun production line game! Similar to games like Automachef but with a really sick UI and a cool premise Don't know whether to love or fear the complexity that comes my way as I delve deeper into this game

A factory optimisation/ puzzle game, with a surprising level of depth given the low price. With with this type of game I can sometimes be overwhelmed by the number of options immediately available, and struggle to find myself a goal to progress towards. I found Microfab really shines in these areas. There always seems to be an interesting technological hook or new production style to progress towards, and working out the optimal path is enough of a puzzle enough to make you feel clever without stalling progress for too long. So far I'd recommend this game for fans of the genre who want a lighter, easy to jump into game that doesn't sacrifice depth.

actually quite good. controls sometimes a bit clunky but overall fun
