I really enjoyed this! It's a good example of how simple building blocks can combine into more complex puzzles. Some of the later levels were easier than I expected, but overall the difficulty level was enough to keep me thinking without getting stuck for too long.
The one thing I did struggle with a bit was that in a few levels, the order in which blocks execute their actions is key to the solution, but the order is not really clear. In those cases, I just had to use trial and error to nudge things into running in the order that I needed.
That is level string for a very slow nuke (not a nuke with a big delay, it actually works), the only problem is it doesnt fill all of it up. Made in Mystic Mod.
Cell Machine is pretty good! Had a few: 'Ah I am smart moments', which did feel nice. The only problem I have is about the levels. I personally prefer that games do not introduce a new mechanic before exploring the previous one beyond its introduction. Give the player a few examples of how a new cube can be used before introducing something new. Other than that, really nice little game
Really well thought out and fun. Has surprisingly complex depth for so few mechanics. I definitely hope you keep working on this and turn it into a mobile puzzle game. It would be nice to have a little background music while playing, something pretty low key to not be too distracting, but something to set the tone, maybe some kind of thinking music. Overall, the game is great and offers some good challenges and cool mechanics. Also loved the devlog video you did on it. It really shows what is possible in your game. Great job!
Very fun and challenging game! There does seem to be a nondeterministic issue though. Beginning in the state in the left-most picture, if you step forward exactly two times, hit reset to go back to the state in the left-most picture, and then step forward once, you will end up in the state in the right most picture instead of the expected state in the middle picture.
I didn't look at the code, but I'm guessing that in the "step forward" function some of the attributes for the blocks are not being reset in the same way they are being reset in the "run" function, since if you click run instead of step forward, the bug disappears :)
