We made a tiny factory/kitchen game, where you play on a 2x2 grid.

The catch: you get to subdivide one of the squrares into another 2x2 grid.

We didn't get nearly as far as we'd like to- but oh well.

We might fork the game and make some more levels for Extra. The core mechanics work pretty well, we think.

Tutorial

Items are feeded into your machine from the rice bag at the top. 1024g of rice are in each batch.

The goal is to feed the required items into the output square at the bottom

When you click a square, you have 5 options:

Subdivide

Divides the current square into 4 smaller ones. The 4 squares will be joined by a small red circle at the center, that can be used to merge them back to a single square

Conveyor

Places a conveyor, facing any neighboring square you choose. Moves any items on it to that square

Splitter

Has two outputs instead of one, and splits any items into two (halves their weight)

Combiner

Adds two items together, adding their weights and ingredients

Cooker

Cooks food items, but takes 3 ticks to do so.
