What players say
Players compare it to Zachtronics games, but warn it is much harder, with a steep curve that demands improving old designs. They consistently criticize the unclear UI, inconsistent test results, and poor explanations. Fans of the core analog-computing concept call it rewarding, while others abandon it due to frustration.
