People are talking about it:

notch: "Watch the video. Play the game. It's a breath of fresh air."

Automaton: "シンプルな外見とは裏腹に、本作のゲームプレイは底知れない奥行きをもっている。
[Despite its simple appearance, the gameplay of this game has an unfathomable depth]"

PC Gamer: "it allows a lot of room for experimentation when it comes to physics, and there's an emphasis on automation that recalls the likes of Factorio [...] Sounds fascinating, and with 72 levels it'll probably keep you busy for a while."

@thePalindrome (itch.io): "An amazing game that's devilishly tough at times!"

@joey (Discord): "I am just surprised this game hasn't already been made! Like, it just seems like such a good combination of mechanic: the logic gates physics building machines... it's really good!"

@aoi (bay12forums): "This is... quite something. It feels kind of like something you'd see if Zachtronics worked from ZZT (...) if anybody does enjoy logic puzzles, definitely give this little guy a try"

@krakout (twitter): "Regardless of whether you're an #Amstrad #CPC fan, this is really lovely and polished!"

@jmk462 (reddit): "We need more of this!"

@rabwin (canardpc, French forum): "Découverte super sympa ! (...) hâte de tester les autres niveaux!"
