Neat puzzle mechanic--I like the fact it's not just keeping up, but figuring out what order you need to create pieces. There's a lot of potential for more puzzles.
Oddly, I think it gets easier after a few levels because you can use the second level to juggle pieces you missed.
Really unique idea and fun game. I finished the eighth day and got a promotion (I think). I really like the ability to slow down the conveyor belt, otherwise it would be nearly impossible at some points. Although, the slowdown feature can be abused, so maybe it should have a it could be put on a limited use timer. I was really impressed with the sound effects, which sounded like a real factory!
Quite a neat little game, with a lot of potential for more puzzles!

The game looks REALLY, REALLY well, plays really well, feels well, and sounds well. The whole game is really good except that I got frustrated with the controls because they were challenging, but I think that's what you were going for and it worked. Overall good game.

great interpretation of the theme. needs a good management of task to sort it out. Great game. Good job !!
Now this is how you interpret a theme. Great idea. Wonderful execution. Third row is a bit unforgiving, though. Before that you had a loop that you can use to take all the time you wanted. Third row significantly alters the difficulty and I believe without it the "slow-down" option wouldn't be necessary at all. Maybe you can also loop the third row to the beginning first row somehow.
Otherwise, top notch game. It is obvious that yuo know how to get things done. Good work.

Good take on the theme. Puzzle games of this ilk are always something I get a kick of seeing in Ludum Dare - it can be tough to balance them right, but when done well they really stand out.

Thought this was pretty cool! I liked the look and feel of the factory, and the puzzles were quite fun. Really unique idea for the theme. It was excellent to know that for once I could make time run twice as fast, but age at the normal rate. And thank you for learning WebGL, I can actually play your game in my browser :)

good puzzle, it is a good idea but it only need a good background music and its done , congrats!
Really neat puzzle mechanic, I liked how you could bump everything through the whole process again in case you muck up.

Awesome entry, really like the factory and the sound design. It was a bit frustrating w.a.i.t.i.n.g. for the pieces to come to the press and then miss it because you clicked before it turned green. Could be good to have some cheater power up so you can fire a press before, a bit if mental off loading ...

Good puzzle concept. Sometimes it was too slow but then the double speed was too fast.

Grate little game to pass the time, at first I thought that it would be easy and that the x2 speed was too slow, but I was gravely mistaken. I found myself losing track of what I had made and found myself using the 0.5x speed constantly.
Very well done.

Very nice, with original theme. I agree with others that some later levels are easier. Maybe some score / star rating could solve the problem with infinite cycles.
Great job! :)
Awesome game, I love the mechanics. Would love to have some sort of keyboard setup for controlling the factory. Brilliant effort though!

This was very good. I wasn't expecting much from the screenshots, but i really enjoyed it.
good puzzle.
Neat game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/1ovNEwCi_RI

Nice game!
The points I would change:
- Work a little more on graphics
- Turn the machines on and off, this way they would keep working on every piece that goes under they
awesome entry! :)
(could not play the webgl version)
