I liked the puzzle design in this game, last puzzle is really tricky! The merging mechanic could've been a little more intuitive, as the order of overlapping (based on order of which block enters the machine first) was kinda inconsistent at times for me. Overall great game, looking forward for the release.
Thanks for playing!
The Stacking machine actually stacks the block perpendicular to the output and input on top of the other one... It's kinda hard to explain, I'll try and make the tutorial a little more clear so people don't get mixed up too much.
Nicely made Infinifactory demake! Like the menu animations!
Was confused in level 4, where they merged in the wrong order and next time I think I did exactly the same, and they merged in the right order. %)
I think scaler boxes should work on all types of input. In level 5 it works on squares, but not on stripes (merged or not). Ah, OK, so I needed to use the other scaler boxes, from row 2. I thought they were for cutting, not scaling, because from the tutorial I concluded exactly this...
Would be great to be able to read all the rules during the game too, not just when playing tutorial levels.
Stopped playing at level 13, as I don't understand how to change the order of merging (was lucky in the previous levels).
Thanks Igor! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I know the stacking machine can be a little confusing at time, I'm planning on reworking the tutorial to make it a little clearer. I'll also follow your suggestion and make it so the tutorial is always available somewhere, that would remove some of the frustration of not knowing what to do.
Excellent! Love it! <
Thanks iRad! Really appreciate it :D
Excellent game! Impressive for a game jam!
Thank you so much!
Amazing game, really liked reverse engineering the problems. The art style is very nice, fits the tone of the game perfectly, OST does stimulate my urge to solve things. Wish there was like a level editor or some other way to spend more time with the game. Add some fluff on top and this game could be placed on steam and perform pretty well IMO
I do have a level editor in the game, that's how I actually make the levels. It needs some tweaking, but I think it could be adapted so that player can use it too.
Do you have any fluff you'd like in there? I was thinking Level Selector / Overworld Map, more machine types and Block that can have colors that needs to be stacked. If you have other ideas, I'm listening :)
I’ll chime in here unprovoked and say that the one thing I’d love to see is a level selector, would be nice to go back and try to see if there are other ways to solve some of the puzzles! I’ll echo what was said above and say that a level editor would be awesome as well. Really well made game, loved it and actually played through the whole thing, rare for me in game jams of this size I’ll admit!
Level selector is actually one of the top features in my list for the next release. I wanted to make one at first, but I realized that if I wanted to polish everything to my taste, I needed to scratch it. It will be added tho!
Impressive game for a game jam. Great level of polish, but I wish there was some visual indication when I was dragging a machine to be placed in the level. Cool entry!
That's a quality of life improvement that on my list, I'll be working on that and other nice little features starting tomorrow :)
Amazing game! Excited to see it fully released.
Thanks for playing :D
fun puzzle gam
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!
What a creative and addictive little game it is, has potential for much more. I enjoyed it a lot.
Great game, Foolbox! Make more levels!
Great puzzle game. Reminds me of Factorio. Excited to see more added.
