A clever automation and management puzzle game transforms food production into a satisfying exercise in efficiency and creativity. Every kitchen begins as a simple operation, but gradually evolves into a network of machines, conveyors, processors, and storage systems working together to produce meals with minimal waste. Watching a well designed production line run smoothly creates a rewarding sense of accomplishment. The progression system steadily introduces new equipment and challenges, encouraging experimentation with different layouts and solutions. Resource management, power consumption, and workflow optimization add meaningful depth without making the experience difficult to understand. Levels often have multiple valid solutions, making problem solving feel flexible and rewarding rather than restrictive. A clean visual style, humorous presentation, and engaging automation mechanics help create an experience that remains enjoyable throughout the campaign. Each completed kitchen feels like a carefully engineered achievement, while later challenges provide plenty of opportunities to refine and improve designs. The result is a satisfying management and automation game that combines strategy, creativity, and problem solving into a rewarding and memorable experience.

The game has insane potential but its too difficult too early, the budget is too low and the requirements to get badges(energy consumption and ingredients used) are way too demanding on the 3rd level. Some mechanics like the robot arms are genuinely broken in such an obvious way its insane it hasn't been fixed yet. If the robot arm is placed in front of a turning conveyor belt it doesn't pick up items, instead it makes a goofy animation trying to pick up the items but missing. Truth be told I love the idea of the game and will keep experimenting with the engine in the scenario creator but I don't think I'm gonna be touching the campaign any time soon.

Great Automation/Puzzle game. They do a pretty good job explaining how the parts work, but leaves some room for creativity and self exploration on how we want our assemblies to work. For completionists, I recommend completing the campaign levels before doing contract mode achievements (build your blueprints repertoire). In contract mode, you'll need 5 Hard levels completed (pick easier challenges), then just go Easy the rest of the way since the reputation gain appears to be the same.

Loved this game. I enjoyed the challenges and I liked the business mode that just let you play forever. I couldnt finish the game. the final couple stages where above my pay grade or something. :-) The game revolves around fitting an assembly line into a certain space and finishing the orders within the budget.
