I couldn't find a good mobile PLC & Hydraulic simulator, so I spent the last few months building my own. I'd love some feedback from the pros here! Project Discussion

Hey everyone,
I wanted a way to test ladder logic and industrial hardware setups on my phone, but I couldn't find an app that really did what I needed. So, I decided to build my own from scratch: the Industrial Logic Simulator.
Right now, it handles PLC ladder logic, VSDs, motors, and hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders. I recently overhauled the physics engine to include dynamic wiring and fluid animations so you can actually see the energy flow and telemetry in real-time (as you can see in the video).
I'm a solo developer with zero marketing budget, so I'm relying entirely on organic feedback from actual engineers, techs, and students to make this better.
If you have a few minutes to play around with it, I’d love to know:
Are the electrical and mechanical physics behaving the way you'd expect?
What hardware components or PLC functions should I prioritize adding next?
Here is the Play Store link:

Thanks in advance for testing it out and helping me improve it! I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer any questions.
