Creature Crusher by BlackCat508
You have been hired to oversee the filtering of defective tiny creatures by crushing any creature that fits the defective criteria before they fall into the pit. Be careful! If you make 3 mistakes, you will be fired (killed) immediately.
How to play-
activate crushers by either pressing their red buttons or their corresponding numbers on the keyboard(1,2,3,4)
If a creature matches any detail on the two cards it is defective and should be crushed. If a creature doesnt match either card it should not be crushed and will fall into the pit
If you crush a creature that doesnt match either card, or let a defective creature fall into the pit, you will get an X

Overall though I liked it a lot
A little bit of feedback:
I was *not* prepared for the level of focus it takes to keep up with the sped-up 3 track challenge! It's a pretty quick ramp-up, it might be nice to have shorter runs with less of a change in between each (or dynamically speed up as the run goes on).
I didn't realize I could get back to the explanation intertitle from the game at first, but once I did and got the hang of it, I got sucked right in. If you have the time to next time, maybe see if you can tutorialize it a little in-game (e.g. drop right in instead of doing the explanation card, but have little pauses with explanation text in the right moments)?
Oh also I almost forgot that in the beginning I was confused because I was expecting number 4 to work on the belt it touches (so the one above it). Later I realized it made more sense the way you made it, but I was a bit confused for the first round.
