I shaved another cycle off. Remember to make your dropper arms spokes so you don't have to reset them I guess

haha don't feel bad man that was the final result of an iterative process. try to do it again starting with two arms on the light blue since you need twice as many of them, then fit in the teal one where it will link and finally an output arm. i guarantee you'll at least in the ballpark.

nah its just so interesting how different it can be. love zach

one issue i have with this game though is that your solution space feels pretty constrained. unless there's a way to zoom out that i can't find.

in spacechem you'd have dozens of commands at once but in this you can have like 6 wheels at most and they can't really cross each other too. basically i feel like i don't have enough space or moving parts.

It's definitely possible to speed it up since I only pull 3 salt every 4 cycles but drat my head already hurts.

I can't be the only one spending more time playing the matching game? :negative:

The story in this one is almost good, for being a kid so intent on proving himself, he sure follows the rules real good

Metrics still don't motivate me to refactor, would rather build aesthetically pleasing solutions 💅





The music is really good, too. I can't help but wonder what a more fully featured game might look like, like if you took all of the Zachtronics titles so far and combined them with some interesting platforming/end goals like Gizmos and Gadgets?

e: I should know better but i keep putting my hand in the box
