Good job, i really like how fast the game is

I really enjoyed the game! The amount of combinations was incredible, definitely added a lot to the depth of the game. I really like the quality of life features, such as the ingredients that you can use to mix with the ingredient you are holding have particles coming off them. Very well made! Running out of space very well implemented.

Freaking awesome game! There's a few issues with the early game and the core mechanics but if those were fixed this would very much worth paying for.

This game got me into a flow state pretty easily. Because of the random ingredient order without knowing the recipes I didn't know which ones were more important to keep and ended up not being able to keep green items long enough to craft the tier 3 (and beyond?) products which is a shame. I would love a screen somewhere in there with all of the recipes to give me a chance to learn them. Love some of the hints you do with the particles on possible crafting, maybe recipes could have some kind of indicator as to their relative worth though? I found myself making sub-optimal decisions because I didn't know that x was worth more than y.

Heres the clip from my stream if you want to re-endure the suffering of me not reaching tier 3 crafting: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297136972

I could play this game forever and I almost did! Amazing job on the controls and the graphics make me happy. Good job!

Wow, this is nice! Great graphics and audio. Gameplay is nice as well and you've managed to get quite some content in it.

Really liked this one. Liked the variety and tiers in the combining, and how the issue of space actually played a role. Actually got the end of this, which I wasn't expecting to see; the timer didn't really end up being a problem, but I guess that's better than it being overly constraining. As other people mentioned, an overall list of combinations/point values for such would have been nice, but it's not a gamebreaker. It'd be interesting to see what this'd look like expanded onto/worked on, but in the context of a 3-day contest it's pretty cohesive and well-polished.

Thank you all for the constructive feedback! Upon seeing all of you getting absorbed into the flow-of-the-game and enjoying the satisfying feeling of product combination-combos. We realise that this game has more potential than we initially expected.

Therefore, we are considering expanding this game into a more polished and well designed product. This may be a game that you might in game libraries in the future. The game design document is in the making.

Cheers all and thanks for playing!

This was a fun and tidy little game. At first I had no idea what to do; I didn't like that some blocks shared the same colour but were different types. Other than that, I liked it, and I think it works really well.

Really fun game, I enjoyed the strategy of trying to manage space while holding onto items to use in combinations later. I also liked that the game had an ending whether than going on endlessly.

I lost once because the timer ran out without me noticing. I would appreciate being aware of my surroundings while I play. I understand the inherent difficulty and joy of balancing multiple plates at one time, however, in this case, I think the feedback is too meager.

I think the combinations make no sense. I cannot recognise the icons and what they will do. My brain basically resorts to "more combinations = more dollaz", which I think is in line with the design ultimately, but I do think this hurts user immersion.

With all this said, I found this entry fun to play and aesthetically pleasing. Nice work.

Absolutely loved every second. My first playthrough was me being very confused until I died and tried again, then I noticed the combinations on the bottom right of the screen and the particles indicating i can combine things. I beat it in the second playthrough and thought it was very fun.

This game has a really engaging gameplay loop! Combining items for more money is very satisfying. It would have been nice to get more feedback for sending items out of the conveyor belt. It would have been really addicting if there was some goals of required items to advance too. Thanks for bringing the game to the stream, I had blast playing it!

Loved the wholesomeness of the game, would love to see more levels. enjoyed the controls, overall fells nicely polished !

Hi! Feedback coming from ArjenDesign’s twitch stream just now: twitch.tv/arjendesign - Great style and effects! - Nice touch when you can combine stuff! Great visual feedback :D - Grid reminded me of the Minecraft menu (topdown creating shapes to build something), maybe some potential for the future?

gleb-shishov 2018-08-17 20:43

Very interesting game. I really liked the beautifully executed interface. But there was a small problem with understanding the game because I'm color blind and do not distinguish between red and green colors. But there's nothing terrible game is still cool)

Good graphic, good idea. The sound feedback is great :) .. Hard to tell what block do :(

By the way well done
