I like the graphic style and the game concept but it was a bit too fast for me

Crazy sounds and nice use of theme. I played through few levels but wasn't completely sure what was the goal. A little bit more instructions could help. Good job anyway.

I love these kinds of games, you won with good level design.

There is a good idea behind this I think, but the result is just a bit too short on some aspects...
More explanation would have been great (first time I thought I had to kill all of them, since the theme was You are the Monster, so I killed them all, and then... nothing happened, not a "you lost" or what); on second level I didn't really know what I had to do with those 2 kind of animals, so I just went for the chickens, which seemed like the right thing to do.
So the game could be really nice with a little more polish/UI and a more progressive difficulty ramp.

Difficulty ramps up a bit too much perhaps. Fun nonetheless.

Haha a really neat little game.
Great graphics and a very good core mechanic.
It's pretty hectic at start but that's where some of the interesting stuff is.

It looks like every level has just the right amoung of blocks to complete it.
I think some of them could be completed with less.
Maybe in the future you could have blocks in your inventory, and based on how many you have deployed in the end you get stars. (Current stars should just be a X amount of correct monsters in the right exit)

Very fun, I think you might be able to make a little mobile game out of this with more challenging levels <3

Nice mouth sounds! Gets difficult fast. Several tries to get past level 3, gave up on level 4 with no idea what was going on.

Nice graphics and fun sound effects, but a bit too confusing, tried level 3 a few times but couldn't figure it out

Are 5 star ratings even possible on all levels? It seems impossible to respond fast enough sometimes.

Other than that I agree with most of the others here, nice concept, but initially a little too hard and confusing.

Cute graphics and hillarious sound effects :D

maybe give a little time to read the level before sending the minions, other than that, fun

The game seems good, but the goal is very unclear.

Instructions should really be added in the description as soon as possible.

I abstained from voting in all of the categories related to gameplay.

Awesome sound effects. Mechanics are nice and length is really perfect: Just as i thought: "Ok, enough know" it ended. Pretty good entry!

Cool game with nice sound and quite polished - I couldn't figure out how to get past 3th level, I got all the stars but the level didn't end?

I'd echo what some others said about not really understanding what I was doing to start. Each level required some trial and error to get, which isn't a problem. What made it a little frustrating was that it wasn't clear what each machine did. Maybe a quick splash screen introducing each device would make the game more accessible. Overall, it was really fun.

I also loved the sound. It must have been fun to make.

Fun. There isn't enough lead time to analyse the puzzles before they start going which is a bit of a flaw.

I really enjoyed this. The difficulty scaled a bit quickly, and could use some more instruction. Overall, this was really good. :)

Nice game, even though would have been nice to know what to do in each level. Who to save? Who to spare? Enjoyed it anyway

Very nicely done, cute graphics, addictive, but too damn difficult and unforgiving! I’d love a “go back 10 seconds before” button rather than “start all over again”. Also, is it possible to rotate counterclockwise on the Web version?

lovely little puzzler. Graphics are nice and the sounds aren´t to badeither. I didn´t really find the theme `you are the monster` in here, although, yes, you are making minions.

Cute game. I've played a lot of Manufactoria, so I can see the influence here. The pixel art and animation looks great, and the mouth sounds are pretty good. The music does get a bit repetitive. Good work, overall.

I think the levels could use a little more conveyor time at the beginning before the minions start falling off the belt and dying. I had a hard time just dragging and rotating the pieces fast enough to save them, especially in later levels.

I finished level 5 with four stars, but nothing happened. Not sure if that's the end or a bug. Played on the submission page in Firefox.

Took me a few tries to figure out what to do, but then it hit me and I was off. It wasn't very clear to me when I needed to push the restart button. I kept waiting for more animals to show up. Perhaps once all the animals are gone there should be a loss screen or something. Also a pause button would be helpful to sort everything out at the beginning of a level as it sometimes starts too quickly for me. Great little puzzle game and I would like to see more levels.

Very clever puzzle mechanics, took it bit to figure out how to play properly, but very fun once I knew what I was doing. Good artwork and fitting sound effects, great work overall and excellent compo entry!

Cool concept. Took some time to understand it completely, but makes fun. Maybe the animals should spawn a bit delayed, but apart from that great entry!
