What players say

Players describe Great Permutator as a punishingly hard puzzle game that starts difficult and stays difficult, with little ramp up. Some praise its brain-teasing conveyor challenges and note it predates factory games like Factorio, while others find the lack of difficulty curve frustrating. A few report the developer ignoring crash bugs, and the interface is considered dated.
