Fun Game. It is a variation on Shapez.io which I consider to be the META. One thing I can say after playing this is that it is not a long game in comparison. Enjoyed it and would recommend it as basic entry before diving into shapez.io

This is so simple...yet, so challenging! Be warned, this game is not easy (for me, at least)

The Good:
• Graphics are very home-y...like, notebook doodle style. Very crude, but very very charming!
• The sound effects match the aesthetics perfectly. I kinda sounds like the developer recorded his voice for it
• The concept is fun, engaging, and can be quite the challenge.
• This game is dirt cheap! And can be played on old or cheap machines!

The Bad (actually, things that can be improved)
• I wish there was a quick access to display the controls
• I wish, there were tool tips when you hover on buttons:
- For example: When hovering over boards, a tool tip can display a summary of resource gathering rate (Blue square = 14.2/sec)
• I wish there was a simple, 8 bit music for furhter immersion

The Ugly (actually, much more important improvements)
• Controller support for Steam Deck (this game is so light-weight, it'll be a blast on the deck)
• Option to play in window mode and adjust game resolution

P.S. This is the only doodle factory game that you need in your life. I think this is the only doodle factory game that exists, so you really need this in your life. You may not realize it now, but you will...eventually

Fun little puzzle game!
I liked that my old factories keep running while I'm building new ones, so I can go back and optimize them when I get new parts.

What I’m working on

805 days ago

First of all, thank you all for supporting the game! I will be continuing developing the game since I really enjoyed working on this game and want to improve and give more to the players. Here are some of the features that I’m working on: Special Machine upon Board Generation - These machines are placed on the board upon generation. I want to emphasize more the board generation of the game and this is one of the addition to encourage players to generate and look for an optimal board for them. Special Boards - These boards will give more identity to the tiers and gives more variety for the boards. Endgame Board - This one will give players more challenge upon reaching the endgame phase of the game. Quality of Life Improvements - One of the requested improvements is players want to see how fast are they gaining certain resource. Bug fixes - There are some minor bugs that I’ll include in the update as well to make the experience smoother. Note that these are just what I’m working on. The list could change after playtesting but I’ll be focusing on board generation for the upcoming update. Thank you again all for supporting the game!
