You can change your design and run it again to get the best result in each category, but it's not mandatory. I think the comparison is made with results from other players, like Zachtronics do in their games: Once you succeed, you get the results in terms of area, speed and resources vs other solutions. If you made a mistake, it will most likely be detected in that case you can pause and run forward/backward to see what's happening and why it failed. Once you've completed the assembly line, you launch it, which makes a lot of robots pass through it to test each corner case. For example you don't have to test for an empty program. In this example the programs are quite general (may have 0 to 35 tokens), but sometimes the range is reduced, like "2 to 8 tokens", and you can use this information to simplify your assembly line. An example at the bottom with the initial program (Start) and the expected program (Goal) when the robot goes out. At the top left, the instructions and the type (length) of programs you'll encounter. You may also be asked to build a test that matches the specs and an existing factory.īelow a typical puzzle. The "program" is simply a succession of blue and red tokens, that you can detect (if next is red, go right if blue go left, if no token left, go ahead), or write. Robots are put on a conveyor belt and you have to design the assembly line to perform some operations, mainly sorting out the defects by testing if the "program" is correct, or modifying their "program". This one is in the category of "assembling something", or "mini-factory". The dev is PleasingFungus Games, they have made another game before, Silicon Zeroes, that I haven't played but the reception was "very positive". There are a few others I may report here later ( Opus Magnum,, Unit 404, SpaceChem), so don't hesitate to share other puzzle games here as well. Here's my first impression in case some of you like that sort of game. I recently tried a demo of Manufactoria 2022 on Steam - it's not on GOG unfortunately. When I don't have enough time to play a demanding RPG or if I want to change my mind, sometimes I'm playing puzzle games (among others).
