“beautiful. most see it as a normal number-producing factory, while I see it as a tutorial for counting perfectly, using addition, subtraction, etc. to make a clone of a certain number multiple times.”
“Another nice factory game. Belmatic is the successor Beltex. Compared to its predecessor it has various quality of life improvements (placing bells in an L-shape, automatic bridge building, simplified extractors,…”
“Once you understand the mechanics (which is easy IMO), you go it. I can easily make numbers all day!!!”

“This is my "relax"-game. It is light enough to run on my laptop when travelling (it doesn't overheat - I usually have mains power available) The game play is straight forward, few controls, no timelimit. The classic…”
“its simple but also challenges you. systems look like microchips”
“I really like this game, its hard to tell where the time goes when you are doing it. It helps keeping my brain sharp I would recommend trying it with your children if they are having issues with math. while i was trying…”

“I love this game! It seem really simple in the beginning, but becomes more complex as you have to build higher numbers and the math operators begin to open up. I could spend all day playing this! Even when you think you…”

“Very fun and turns into a sort of puzzle solving game later on, when I get bored of feeding the square in the middle, I switch to coming up with new designs for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and…”

“This game is incredibly fun, addictive, and deeply satisfying to play. It really nails that “just one more thing” feeling. I’ve also been playing it on the Steam Deck, and it works well. The controls need a bit of…”

“Man I would like to like this game as I am a big fan of factory games and I like the ones with endless resources. But in the end this game lacks any depth and challenge. If you are interested I would suggest Shapez…”

“Well once you've made a setup for addition, multiplication and subtraction that manage a full belt, which you can do as soon as you get the operator, then it's just finding the factorization of the number, copy/paste…”

“good game, ended up making a calculator that could make 10 different 0-999999 numbers at full belts which trivalized the endgame. Very satisfying to look back at it all when i finished”

“It's obviously very simlar to shapex.io, which is a great game, but there are important differences. Beltmatic does not have tunnels, but it has bridges, which make connecting mines to machiens SOOOO much easier. As…”

“Giuseppe Peano says: "This game can be won with nothing but adders and 1 generators."”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Yes this is very similar to Shapez. I've played Shapez and loved it. To enjoy this mathematical game I had to add some rules. Beltmatic looks like a factory game, but once I realized I can brute-force any target with a powers-of-10 main bus, it gets repetitive. I wasn’t doing…”
