It is pretty fun, but the difficulty ramps up way too fast and the game doesn't give you enough tools to easily make modular programs, which it clearly wants you to do.
Everything you love about a Zachlike, with gorgeous pixel art and fascinating puzzles

Чем то напоминает игры от Zachtronics. В основном тут много схемотехники. Порой некоторые задачи сложные, приходится чертить для них в ручную схемы, но плюсы в том, что готовые схемы потом можно использовать в других уровнях для прохождение, но минусом то, что нужно в ручную пилить уже готовую схему, т.е. тут нет что то типа библиотек схем, отчего собирать готовые схемы утомительно, да и помимо этого, нужно оптимизировать свои схемы, чтобы они использовали наименьшее кол-во шагов(или тиков), благо тут не так строго с оптимизацией и достаточно пару уровней сделать с оптимизацией и тебе дадут ачивку, но если вы перфекционист, то мне вас очень жаль. Так что игра не рассчитана на казуальных игроков, а больше для всяких любителей головоломок и программистов-схемотехников.
Great game. What sets it apart against others in the same genre are the selection of components and the essentially infinite nested building space. The game doesn't really give you a convenient way to do anything, so you end up hacking together absurd solutions and praying that they work.
Game 176 of my backlog It is an EXCELLENT Zachlike. Explanations are solid. Mechanics are fun. Puzzles are HARD. I managed to get through the first 4 worlds pretty easily. World 5 has stumped me. Hit my quota on this one. Requires some chessmaster intellect for some of those later puzzles. Bottom line: If you love Zachlikes, pick this up.
love it
(The Linux version doesn't work for me, but it runs fine in Proton.) I have no hope of finishing this game, but it's a lot of fun making boards in boards in boards and running into all sorts of sync issues and other bugs.
brain hurt
Good
