I love the automation genre. Been a while since I saw a game from a version of Gamemaker so old though. Wish it measured how compact you made it but it is a jam game so I assume time pressure has something to do with that not being included. Lot of fun mind bending puzzles too.

Well, as it looks like it was made in old school Game Maker and is a random downloadable .exe, my computer and antivirus will not let me play it. Shame, based on the thumbnail, it looked like a minigame from one of my favorite computer games growing up (Buzzy the Knowledge Bug: Let's Explore the Airport, Lost Luggage).

I loved the tutorial, it introduced the mechanics very well, little by little, through experience, nice!

The turbo button was a nice quality of life feature too.

It would be nice to have the option to resize the screen: in my resolution (1366 x 768), the screen was cut off at the top and bottom, I could barely see the level indicator.

The level design was really clever, I felt very good passing through level 11, but I think it ramped up too quickly: my head started to hurt a little thinking about the two inverters at level 12 haha.

Overall, it's a very fun game! Good job!
