I’ve tested Love Android Workshop on Mac with wingames. Here’s how to get it running.

My review

Love Android Workshop is a super cosy, relaxing game that still makes you think fast. The memory challenges, mental arithmetic and pattern recognition make doing your job well feel satisfying—like being a proper scientist.

It’s still early, and some things don’t work yet, but I’m glad the creator has released it. I’d rather get to play what’s here now than have nothing to try. The foundation feels solid, and I hope they keep building on it.

My main criticism is that some parts can be hard to read, especially which direction a dial is pointing. Some interactions also feel incomplete.

Even with those rough edges, I really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to more updates, and I’ll probably come back for another playthrough once it’s finished.
