Numachina is a minimalist puzzle game about constructing physics-based contraptions to route and transform numbers. You design machines with pipes and mechanisms to manipulate numerical flow toward specific goals. The game shows promise for players who enjoy spatial problem-solving and automation building, though it's currently plagued by UI bugs, missing tutorials, and stability issues that make it difficult to recommend.

Not ready yet. There's no tutorial, no real preferences and the few it does have it doesn't save between games, no simple controls like zoom, and annoying bugs like if you click on the "home" button you can never unclick it (you're stuck with the screen centered on the home square - you can no longer scroll).
I see the potential here and I really enjoyed my time with this, but there are game breaking issues that make me not recommend.
At one point I couldn't move the camera. Instead it would rotate the world.
The home base quit taking numbers. It got stuck at 999/1000 on level 31. I quit and started again, and New Game put it back to level 1, with all my pipes and setup as I left it. But the home base doesn't take numbers. They don't add in so I can't play at all anymore.
Broken achievements. I got to level 31 and didn't get the two achievements for beating 1 level and beating 10 levels.
New game isn't a new game really. There is no save. There is no reset.
