Crystal: Automaton

I do love factory games, and I love when you finish the game, this was really cute, and easy!

A short, sweet, simple automation game. A perfect entry point for those new to the automation genre - the ratios are simple (1:1 or 2:1), it has "function"-like structures (Infiniboxes), and the slowly growing tech tree keeps giving you something new to do right up until the end. For more experienced automation players (*cough* Factorio fans *cough*) this game serves as a quaint sandbox to invent your own challenges. It's so short and the map grows in an interesting enough way to make it a decent speedrun game, and the limited total map space + inifiniboxes can provide an interesting personal "max resources / second" challenge. For the asking price, I can't complain - It was a fun way to kill a few hours.

Played it with half my brain active, no problems getting all achievements at all. Everything done within 3~ hours. It's fine I guess, but more of a small snack for automation fans. Sorter should have a rest option imo. Overall, it was funny. Totally worth it.
