How it feels

You methodically place and upgrade factories on a grid, watching your industrial empire grow through efficient layout and automated production.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, completable in under 3 hours, but say it lacks content and has serious performance issues, with cpu usage spiking as buildings multiply. The lack of a tutorial confuses some at first, and the final achievement is seen as a grind.
