gameplay
7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a nice difficulty curve, but it lacks the expansive feel of its competitors due to its segmented level design. While the mechanics are simple, they become complex with various machines and products, and the game heavily borrows from existing titles. Despite its limitations, the developers are open to expanding the game with additional content.
“Great gameplay, nice difficulty curve.”
“It doesn't have much, but the devs seem to be more than ready to add more scenarios, machines, and mechanics to the arsenal.”
“So far this game does not feel as 'expansive' as its competition -- the campaign gameplay is a series of independent levels instead of a seamless evolution.”
“In fact, it borrows extremely heavily from production line (UI elements, mechanics, etc).”
“The mechanics, although simple, get very complicated by the complexity of the different machines and products.”
