Your game is really nice! I got to level ten, which I imagine HAD to be the final level. Your difficulty curve was absolutely sublime. So many times during the game I thought to myself &quot;this has to be the last stage,&quot; but it managed to get harder, but manageably so! My only complaint is the the arrow puzzle (the one at the very top right) is either pretty finicky, or I didn't understand how to use it, because I had to result to ignoring it the whole time. All in all, great job!"},{"author_name":"urielgamedev","author_uid":"112877","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 5:20pm","epoch":1472663700,"text":"@ThreeLivesGames thank you very much for your comment !

Actually, my other ludum dare entry was such a game, but wasn't half as good presented as this. Music creates real feeling of having to deal with some crazy machinery and you have no idea how. \r<br\/>For some reason top part of the game area wasn't on screen (i've been playing in browser), so I couldnt click on arrow sometimes, and can't go any further than a level five. \r<br\/>Also it's really nice how every detail have it's own mechanic to restore bar. A decent game, overall."},{"author_name":"urielgamedev","author_uid":"112877","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 6:55pm","epoch":1472669400,"text":"@RttStudio Thanks !

I love the variety of machines and the type of gameplay. Really well executed. If I do have to find somewhere where there are some flaws, it is in details and dynamic visuals. Small things like panels where you can see flowing water in the pipes, occasional small leaks, small animals moving on the floor, and other things like that would add a huge amount to the game. It would also help the hectic feel, as it would feel a little bit more like a chaotic and living world.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just my thoughts, as someone who is slightly obsessed with overwhelming amounts of particle effects, extraneous detail, and screen shake.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall though, excellent work."},{"author_name":"g12345","author_uid":"63136","time":"Sep 6, 2016 @ 11:13pm","epoch":1473203280,"text":"I thought this was a very excellently made game!
