One thing that's hurting it, though, is how tight the money is. Pretty much any mistake or inefficiency can make the level require a restart. This kind of puts a damper on making creative solutions to the problems given. There is also a somewhat frustrating bug with the routers. A lot of times I'll have objects stuck at routers that really should be directing them the way they're pointing, but instead they act as if there's no way through.  In the set-up I was using, this occurred in a way such that trying to rotate the router to free them ended up causing me to lose them. There's also a bit of undefined behavior on the machine outputs. You don't really know which output the stuff will come out of, so you have to delete the other connected pipes to make sure you get the right one. Despite that bit of difficulty, I had a lot of fun with this game. Great job."},{"author_name":"Xatulu","author_uid":"21938","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 12:56pm","epoch":1367326260,"text":"Can't stop playing, would love to get some more from you!
