A downloadable game for Windows

Do you have what it takes to be an RNGineer?

Welcome, new hire, to RNG Headquarters! We work with entropy and drop the resulting awful luck onto our (unwitting and unwilling) customers. Thanks to recent events, however, we've been stretched more and more thin in our ability to screw people over deliver our services. As a new remote engineer, you'll be given automated control over our factory floors to design solutions and deliver results.
Best of luck with your new position!

Dice Factory is a Zachtronics-like puzzle game created in 48 hours for the GMTK 2022 Game Jam. Design systems to convert encapsulated chaos - the dice-like Nodules - into the forms necessary to keep the Headquarter's orders of random garbage flowing. String together helplessly polarized Flippers, Towers, Filters, and more into symphonies of haphazardness. Defy the odds to push your monstrosity's tick count as low as possible. Oh, and also canonically commit a massive act of industrial sabotage. That is something I wrote into the game.

In my defense, I pulled an all-nighter to finish on time.

I have no clue how to finish this section, so uhhhhhhhhhh trans rights
