Great game ! The controls are a little bit weird, it took me almost 5 tries to understand I needed to do haha. Even if I read the tutorial. Nice game-play though, I had fun, it's a nice entry !

I tried to play this game without reading the instructions and it was impossible to figure out :D But then I read how to play and the game is really good! Feels like tetris, but a bit different.
I really like the general idea of your game. Especially that the old leftover boxes you did not use stay when you get more space / another printer. This really gives the feeling of running out of space after some time.
However the controls make the game harder to play than it needs to be. I often got confused what left and right mouse button did and it was hard to select all the blocks needed for a form and then finding the correct order for it. If you want to improve this further in the future I think a more intuitive control scheme would be to drag and drop to switch blocks and to click to (de-)select a block. To make it easier, the first matching order could be selected automatically once the shape fits.
Sadly if you play it fullscreen on a 16x9 monitor you cannot see what the bottom most order is which makes it even harder.
Very nice little game ! I lost at the full yellow orders, there wasn't enough space to even make them. Fitting, i suppose ! Well done !
The idea is nice, and I love the feeling the game is giving me.
However, the controls really aren't intuitive at all.
I had to play 5 times before understanding how to sell the blocks.
There are multiple times where I lose because I struggled with the controls.
It's really annoying because otherwise it's really fun!
That's a really cool idea for a puzzle game and a nice implementation of the theme. Like others, I also had a bit of a rough start with the controls, but you get used to them very quickly.
not fan of the music (feels stock haha), but this concept is awesome, very fun and satisfying to play ; even if better controls would improve the experience a lot
well played, cool game !
It's a nice game, especially the concept is awesome! Fitting the theme very good and although I think its ok like that, you should rethink the controls for a more intuitive start!
I have no idea what is going on with this game. Your tutorial made no sense at all and if I clicked on literally anything at all, I just ended up with a game over screen. The music was great, but I just don't know what I'm doing enough to properly rate this game.
A really cool idea. I loved the animations of the 3D printers. Great job. Maybe a running tutorial could have been nice instead of text and images on a screen.
Good idea for this theme! I do think, like others, that the control are really hard to understand: it wasn't until, by pure luck, I selected both one of the contracts and the first blue block with the right click that I started to understand how it works.
It doesn't help that you start with 2 seconds to react too ;)
Other than that, it's quite good actually. The screen gets filled pretty fast but the game isn't too hard. Good idea, too bad the tutorial wasn't really helpful to understand how the game works ;)
I am a fan of the idea for this game and really satisfying and fast gameplay. Music may not be the best, but I like it. Good job!
@historymaker118, @linky439 and @pixelformedstudios, We just add a shot gif tutorial. the visual isn't really good but we planned to make a playable tutorial, so it's only a waiting solution. I hop It help you to understand how to play ;)
Reall satisfying gameplay. I really love the fast-paced find-select process. Nice Work!
