Getting good at this game will require some dedication, so I'll try and come back to this. But here's my initial impressions after making a few explosions.

Amazing concept!

I like the idea that you have to watch workers, to make sure they're assembling correct components, in the correct order. That's a cool feature. Keeping track of faulty items seems challenging. It might be nice to have a way to flag them or remove them.

The initial window appeared very small on my MacBook, but I figured out I could zoom in the web interface, so no problem.

I didn't hear any audio. Some, any, audio would have elevated the game feel immensely.

I'm not sure exactly how to get better at this, so maybe it's more of an e-life sim, where you mostly watch the guys blow up? I'd like a way to throw out bad bombs. Or maybe, like lemmings games, have one guy with a different function (bad bomb disposal).

It's a super interesting project though. I feel like there's something really special here. Lemmings + Factory game = <3

It's a cool idea for sure. But there are too many helpers to keep track of and it gets a little  too confusing after a certain point. Things are just happening automatically. The visuals are simple and neat. The lack of sound did make the game a bit less engaging. Other than that a really nice concept. It can however be refined.

Cool but I'm not really sure how to play it, I feel like I'm watching it

Developer

Yes it was quite rushed in the end, but at least you had something to watch! Thanks for trying it.

I didn't get how to play it. I assume it's my responsibility as others understand it. :-)

But the visuals are nice looking.

Developer

I'm glad you like the look of it! I didn't have time to explain the game much or make a tutorial, but hopefully next time!

Ha! I like how the legs are moving when you are dragging them to another place. Good job on the game. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I should have read the controls before playing. =D

Developer

Haha I'm glad you liked it! Yes unfortunately I did not have time to add a tutorial or anything like that.
