Very cool. It is like a multi-sourced Pipe Dream in a way. I tried out every component I could find. No modifier for the yellow source? Seems like you get extra points for adding extra pipe (makes sense).

I would have liked more feedback from clicking the Finalize button. It wasn't obvious to me at first that anything happened. Took me a few tries to notice the score updating.

It would also be great to see the liquids flowing.

I enjoyed being able to just play with the different components until I ran out of cash. Much more casual than Pipe Dream where you are on a timer. That was nice to learn the new aspects of your game. For replay though, probably too casual and needs more challenge. As you said: more of an activity at the moment.

It took me a while to understand how it works. Once I got that the arrows showed direction, I tried some crazy path food processing.

Its the start of something. With a little wrapper, you could make some fun build puzzles. Do it under some $ and you've got some challenges.

Very steep learning curve, could use a better tutorial for a short game.

I swear one time I snuck into the back of my high schools kitchen and saw nothing but pallets of giant bags labeled SOY COLOR 13 TEXTURE 2 and SOY COLOR 4 TEXTURE 7 and so on...

Pretty good concept

Interesting concept. I was hard to learn how to play. More machinery would have made the game funnier. I had to turn off the music because it was driving me crazy.
