Cool concept, great writing! Looks simple, but it's fun trying to find all of the combinations.

I like it! Lots of combinations, in-depth actions, the game just feels nice!

For just a team of two, this is great!

Love this, its style may be simple but its depth is amazing, and its also very addicting to play.

Thanks for the positive comments! We have a number of ideas on how to make the game better and I think we'll be doing our best to improve it, add art, and more!

I don't personally like how the story is written (it's interesting, but confusing) and the aesthetic is boring, but I really love the idea of combining what you learned to discover new paths.

A very interesting game. I like the writing, although I couldn't build anything during my play sessions. Only wanderlust and then "Nothing found"
But then again, I like the concept of the game and I look forward for a new version.
Good work!

The sheer amount of content and writing put into this is very impressive. That being said, I would have liked to see some way of 'remembering' combinations that failed, and possibly a 'tech tree' of recipes that I've discovered. Stopped at 6/33 but this could be a really interesting mobile game.
