9/10 Superb.
fun, exciting, polished, beautiful, addictive. the story and mini game are just the cherry on top.
the only issue is that leaderboards are calculated per metric (cost, cycles, size), there isn't a leader board for the average, incentivizing solutions that optimize only one metric rather than find the most balanced solution

6.7/10 Decent.
i felt like the games tutorial was lacking not giving the user enough to understand how the game works. and the feedback of the game when completed a stage did not feel rewarding, also game prioritizing finishing as fast as possible (low numbers good) kinda takes the fun away as i preferred building Rube Goldberg-esque machines.

The art, sound design, music, all masterful. The extra story that doesn't disturb and board mini game are the cherries on top
A master class in representing its target audience, and introducing new people to its fun

- The game has a clear and solid core and it does it right, the geometrical puzzle delivers what it seems to promise.
- The game delivers enough shortcuts and debugging tools to facilitate building the solutions.
- UI UX is good in some areas (in the gameplay puzzle)
The Bad:
- Despite the solid core, the game lacks charm. It's barely inviting, with an added story that was ill intr…

5.7/10 Average.
Avg mechanical optimization game. I could see how it's a nice game for obsessive people but I don't see the fun in super optimization and the UI/UX wasn't helpful enough for me to enjoy the game.

7/10 Good.
Very interesting puzzle concept and design. Impressed by this work. The only thing worth optimizing for is time and it is kinda solved if you don't have money or space limits. will be more in the future
