Manufactoria 2022 is a grid-based assembly line style puzzle game where you’re tasked with building robots that meet specific goals on the robot’s instruction tape. Generally you’re meant to replicate a particular pattern, or the patterns on outgoing robots need to match a specific criteria. In one case, the starting pattern on robots entering the system was the important part, and however mangled the patterns end up on the way out (Scanners eat tape as they read it) had no bearing on your success.

This is another of the games that I tried out as part of the Steam Next Fest. In fact, it’s a bit of a latecomer to my list as I hadn’t heard of the game until the developer reached out to see what I thought. It turns out that this is the successor to a Flash game released quite some time ago, and of course with Flash being more or less sunset, this new iteration brings the game into the modern era.

I’m generally a little cautious of puzzle games as I’m not super confident that I have the chops to beat ‘em. You can see here that I got tripped up by misinterpreting some of the wording on a couple of the puzzles, and the last one I tried (which I later found out is optional) quickly got more complex than I knew what to do with. I think people who are heavy into puzzle games (and especially fans of the original game) will have a ton of fun here. Overall it looks and plays great and seems to demand a lot of ingenuity to solve each puzzle.
