Hi, this game is an interesting idea, but I couldn't get very far :( it may not be clear? I think it throws too much at you at once, maybe in the tutorial part do each individual thing a couple of times before moving on to the next thing? I know it's locked due to judging and you can't update it now, but I like it, I just need to know how to do everything :) good work

The game seems very interesting but it's too hard for my smol brain. I gave up after 10 min, can't make new rails, tutorial seems clear but I am unable to proceed the tasks. Wondering if there's not some kind of bug with the hud. All I manage to do is to apply filter to red socket, then I had some rail came out by randomly clicking. Couldn't store the rails tho, didn't manage to build anything.

Maybe the game is too complex, unintuitive, or I am just dumb.

Good job tho I'm sure the game is great, the art is really nice, and the concept seems super interesting.

Thanks for trying out the game! We're currently working on post-jam updates to improve the experience for new players. It's fairly unintuitive at the moment. Stay tuned!
