What a game! I spent way too long getting too few plants to grow and getting ranked last on the high scores board. The graphics are nice, though too intensive for my lappytop apparently. The gameplay was good, though I was often confused about some of the rules, but eventually think I got it all sorted out. Great job!

Fun game! I tried creating a logical system in most levels, but sort of ended up making a mess and solving things by just putting everything together and filtering everything.
Apparently I am one of the worst people at this game but I had fun playing it! I think the 3D art style was well suited to this simulation style game.
Nice! I like how the pipes connect and you are feeding the plants. I got a bit confused about what was going on. I think the visuals of the fluid could have been a bit clearer. I couldn't figure out the rules for the filter.
Prety neat, there seems to be leakage where there should not be any, but i cant pinpoint what's causing this. Happens only with water so it's manageable.. i shrugged it off as condensation "it's not a bug, but a feature" other than that it seems to be working as intended. Pretty fun and a bit challenging, especially when you get to the Muckroots, enjoyed the Oxygen not included referance btw.
The leaderboards are a bonus, but since it's only the scores themself being tracked it looses some meaning and competative incentive, i mean, who's beating me and who have i buried in dust lol. allowing a name to be submitted before the score is submitted would do this a favour imho
My god, it works so well!
And it is fun!
I especially loved the way the liquids are named by their color and the mechanics around the red!
Polishing the liquids aspect and having the plants directly in some soil are the only things I would suggest.

Very cool idea and implementation. I liked the idea of the red with the filters. Maybe there should be a bit more wiggle room, because of some leaking that seems unintended and because generally the player can only guess values based on what he sees. Really liked this one!
It's an interesting concept! It felt like I didn't get much feedback whether things were working or not for a while, and once they were working it took a little while for them to finish.
This was surprisingly good, given the slow start!

I thought this game was very cool! Only odd thing is if water is pumped in on one side then the first plant immediately following it (if your pump rate is low enough) will consume it all. While I would imagine the water would spread evenly and was anticipating that. Once I figured what was causing it though it made sense. Regardless cool game!
