What I really like about HOLLERITH is how naturally it turns the "Old Tech" theme into an actual game mechanic!
The idea of using historical punch-card technology as the foundation for a fast-paced sorting game is genuinely clever. The 4-3-2-1 weighting system seems simple at first, but having to make those calculations under increasing time pressure adds a surprisingly interesting layer of challenge.
I also love the attention to historical detail, especially the fact that the machinery and environment are drawn procedurally rather than relying on traditional sprites. It gives the project a distinctive identity.
This is exactly the kind of creative interpretation of a jam theme I enjoy seeing. A great concept that makes a forgotten piece of computing history feel interesting again. Really impressive work for such a short development window!
