I've played a lot of Manufactoria, so I can see the influence here. The pixel art and animation looks great, and the mouth sounds are pretty good. The music does get a bit repetitive.

I had a hard time just dragging and rotating the pieces fast enough to save them, especially in later levels.\r\rI finished level 5 with four stars, but nothing happened.
