Early Access Review
Generic steam review but I added further details

---{ Graphics }---
☐ You forget what reality is
☑ Beautiful - everything is very neat and easy on the eyes
☐ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Bad
☐ Don‘t look too long at it
☐ MS-DOS

---{ Gameplay }---
☐ Very good
☐ Good
☑ It's just gameplay - you are wiring things up. Most of the "gameplay" is you coming up with the solutions in your head. I will warn you that it can get slightly tedious, but it's not that bad.
☐ Mehh
☐ Watch paint dry instead
☐ Just don't

---{ Audio }---
☐ Eargasm
☐ Very good
☐ Good
☑ Not too bad - loops one song and has like a single sound effect. I would say it's very good, but points taken away for it getting old very fast.
☐ Bad
☐ I'm now deaf

---{ Audience }---
☐ Kids - too complicated, however it would be good to kind of show them the basics of "this is an and gate" and stuff
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
☐ Grandma - unless your grandma had a career dealing with computers in a technical way

---{ PC Requirements }---
☐ Check if you can run paint
☑ Potato - I can run it at 60 fps cleanly and I have an Intel core i3-1115G4 and integrated graphics. I bet it wouldn't run a simulation of a cpu as fast as others, but simpler circuits can run at full speed.
☐ Decent
☐ Fast
☐ Rich boi
☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer

---{ Game Size }---
☐ Floppy Disk
☑ Old Fashioned - 304 mb ish on my computer, and if you can't spare half a gigabyte on your computer then you should consider going through and cleaning it up.
☐ Workable
☐ Big
☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive
☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it
☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data

---{ Difficulty }---
☐ Just press 'W'
☐ Easy
☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master
☑ Significant brain usage - this is basically an educational game. How hard it is will depend on how good you are with logic puzzles or if you have prior knowledge like programming
☐ Difficult
☐ Dark Souls

---{ Grind }---
☐ Nothing to grind
☑ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks - you can optimize circuits because there's often a better or cleaner way to make it once you get into the more complicated parts right before having a fully functional cpu, but you could also just leave it.
☐ Isn't necessary to progress
☐ Average grind level
☐ Too much grind
☐ You'll need a second life for grinding

---{ Story }---
☐ No Story
☑ Some lore - there is kind of a story, but it's not as engaging as a book for children and is mainly just a source of humor between levels.
☐ Average
☐ Good
☐ Lovely
☐ It'll replace your life

---{ Game Time }---
☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee
☐ Short
☐ Average
☑ Long - Levels are less than 5 minutes to start, then they start to take longer. It depends on the person, but I'm 7 hours in and I'm just a couple levels away from a full cpu.
☐ To infinity and beyond

---{ Price }---
☐ It's free!
☑ Worth the price - it can teach you a lot if you're into it. If you don't really care about how a cpu works and are more interested in solving puzzles, it might not be worth it but I think it's worth trying for an hour and a half to see if you wanna refund
☐ If it's on sale
☐ If u have some spare money left
☐ Not recommended
☐ You could also just burn your money

---{ Bugs }---
☑ Never heard of - the only bugs are bugs you make yourself by wiring/programming wrong
☐ Minor bugs
☐ Can get annoying
☐ ARK: Survival Evolved
☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs

---{ ? / 10 }---
☐ 1
☐ 2
☐ 3
☐ 4
☐ 5
☐ 6
☐ 7
☐ 8
☑ 9 - I've learned a lot from playing this, and I feel so accomplished and proud of what I've done so far in this game.
☐ 10
