I like the industrial colour pallete, and the gameplay itself is clever, but very challenging to get used to. The first time I played this I had no idea what the keys did and I just ended up failing all the time.

Liked it. Nice graphic style!

Fun game. Idea and gameplay pretty original. I like your work, good job :)

woot, this game is quite difficult! my highest score is just a bit above 230 :P i like it. the art and sounds are nice. i just find the w key a bit uncomfortable to use :P nice work :D

Wow, hard game but still fun and a good idea

manabreak 2013-08-27 11:16

Really original idea! I love this kind of games. :)

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to run:

Hmm, that's weird. There are apparently some GPUs that pyglet has issues with, which might be the cause. Sadly the list of those with maybe workarounds returns 404 it seems, so that's not a big help. :(

Hard work. Great graphic style!

Interesting game but limited game, a little confusing to learn (had to look up the youtube tutorial). Audio is good, fitting with the grungy industrial graphics. Good fit for the theme!

Won't run for me either.

Pretty original concept, although very difficult until you get used to all the keys and patterns

I like your idea, I doubt anyone would pay for the devices I assembled, he he. Nice touch on the artwork and sounds, it really feels like I'm mangling hardware.

Technical note: for anyone running from source if you get the error "IOError: decoder zip not available" you can solve this by installing pillow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3544155/about-the-pil-error-ioerror-decoder-zip-not-available)

The drawing is really nice and the concept is original. I got into an error the first time I ran it, but it worked fine after. Anyway, the game is fun !

tainted_code 2013-08-28 14:13

Very hard game. Very cool idea though has potential, seemed a bit sluggish and lack of audio made it a bit more boring. It's a frustrating game but once you get the hang of it it eases up and becomes more fun to play.

kbm0 2013-08-28 14:56

Pretty tough and challenging, interesting idea though! Good job!

ashdnazg 2013-08-29 12:21

Way too complicated for me...
I think I'll even do better in a real factory :)

Nice music though!

It was a bit confusing at first but once you get the concept it's pretty fun to play. Good graphics and audio, fun game overall.
