I appreciate the modular synthesis love. But some of these puzzles *really* struggle with having the difficulty stem from poor instructions rather than a genuinely hard problem. Could use a little more polish overall.
VCV Rack - The Game (and I mean that in the best possible way). It is like if you took a Zachtronics game and made it about music/audio signals.
This is the best non-Zachtronics Zach-like I've ever played.
