Beltmatic Reviews

crazy fun game, i love that shit mechanics 10/10 fun 10/10 time to finish 5-10 hours if you aint tryna build a mega factory like me overall 10/10

Its a really good game if you like numbers and want to lose track of time

Fantastic way to waste some time and a great way to practise mental maths.

Minimalistic and beautiful. If you like a nice, relaxing brain teaser combined with large numbers, this is the game for you.

Amazing game and oddly enough fairly complex to build a full automation due to not having available "0" values but once you conquer the math of it all -- then boom -- its dead. Worth the $$ by far.. buy it if you like Factorio!

I like this game. It really makes me think about the operations with the numbers and the math. I constantly find myself realizing that I could have done it a more efficient way. This game is pretty laid back and relaxing compared to a game like Factorio (only one resource and all numbers can be derived from other numbers). Pros: - Addicting - Easy to learn Cons (and suggestions to fix them): - Numbers are too easy to create Let's say we need to create 136 and 51 for upgrades or our objectives; well, these can both be shown as 17 * 8 and 17 * 3. So, both of them have 17. However, there is no reason to reuse 17 when it is such an easy number to create (3 * 5 + 2 or 6 + 6 + 7 or...), so because the numbers are so versatile, it makes the game relaxing, but also really easy. I should ideally want to reuse my 17's, but right now, there is not really any reason for me to do that. Unlike games like Factorio, it begins to feel like you have many small factories producing 1 number instead of 1 large factory, and the production of one number does not usually interfere with another because they are almost never connected to each other. - Not enough constraints to have really engaging gameplay. I would love some sort of mode like you only get x number of extractors, y number of adders, etc., or an efficiency like "you must deliver 10 74's per second". There could also be colors on numbers such that, for example, only a red and blue or green and yellow can only be multiplied with each other. It may sound like I dislike this game, but I assure you that is not the case. I really do like it, but I do think some things should be expanded upon and bring more much needed difficulty. Right now, it feels like something that could be really great.

I usually enjoy games in this genre but this has to be the most boring game like this I've ever played. I have never refunded a game on Steam before, but I did for Beltmatic.

A very basic factory automation game. No constraints, no limits, no incentives to optimise, no challenges. The idea to use plain numbers was great but having access to pretty much all numbers and basic operations allows to quickly create any requested number by simply copying and pasting the same template over and over. For majority of the game addition and multiplication were more than enough although once I reached five and six digit numbers I started to rely on exponent more. Despite its flaws it's an enojoyable and relaxing little game. Hoping for more in a sequel.

If you want something relaxing & repetitive, this is the right game for you. If you want a brain tingling automation challenge like Shapez, this is not for you. Considering how similar this is to Shapez, I expected a brain tingling automation challenge but after figuring out how the pieces worked I pretty quickly figured out it boils down to "Repeat the same formula until you win the game". There could be fun with playing with all the operations at once to reduce the amount of shapes it takes to reach a specific number or some other constraint(s), but I only got to level 11 before calling it quits so I can't say for sure. Not a bad game, just not for me.

You like logistics? Making it just straight up math is the purest distillation, and *satisfaction* :D
