I just want to post a review with my impressions so far because this game still has 0 reviews and I am immediately enjoying the game after picking it up during the 30% sale. TL:DR Conclusion copied to the top: Overall I easily recommend this game. If you come across it and you think the game-play or aesthetic look cool but the lack of reviews is stopping you then please don't let that stop you. I think this game is great and I am glad that I decided to pick it up and be the first to leave a review. This is a small indie game and I can just tell that care was taken in the making of this game which makes it quite charming. At the time of writing this review I have played about 45 minutes so far. I came across this game and was drawn to the aesthetic and the unique concept for the game-play. So far I have played the first 3 "levels" each of which has been a fairly long spree of puzzles introducing the mechanics and adding new dials to mess with. It looks to me like there are about 9 levels in total plus a practice mode and an endless mode with endlessly generated puzzles. After the first 3 levels I have only been introduced to about 1/3 of the adjustable dials on the remote which means puzzles are going to get about 3 times more complex and difficult as the game progresses. The trailer footage gives a good idea of what the game-play is like so I am not going to talk about that much. All this is to say I think the amount of content seems really good for what this game is and what the price of the game is. I really like the aesthetic. The rendering style, environments in the background, music, and robot characters make for a very retro Sci-Fi vibe that I am very into. The presentation of the tutorial information as you progress is also very good. The game definitely tries to get cute about it which makes the tutorial presentation a little more fun. I think being fast with the controls is important and will probably become much more relevant as I progress through the levels. The controls are good and you can change them in settings by pressing ESC but it did take a little getting used to for me to feel comfortable rushing through the dial settings for that time bonus. Conclusion: Overall I easily recommend this game. If you come across it and you think the game-play or aesthetic look cool but the lack of reviews is stopping you then please don't let that stop you. I think this game is great and I am glad that I decided to pick it up and be the first to leave a review.
