Clogwork (Steam)

Everything on the belt is a real object with an actual size. If a slab is three cells wide, it needs three lanes to move. Sometimes you'll rotate a piece just to squeeze it through a tight spot. Sometimes you won't, and it'll sit there clogging everything behind it.




Play in 2D or 3D. Switch whenever you like and the factory keeps running exactly as it was. Spin the camera round a jam to see what’s stuck, or pull back and watch the whole thing move.

Make your factory run like CLOCKWORK without CLOGGING the lanes. Clog-work. Get it? Glue, cut, rotate and transport pieces to the Hub. Optimise your designs, push your score higher, and see how you compare with other players on the in-game leaderboards.

Filter by colour, size, or number of cells. Decide what gets cut, what gets pushed, and what gets left alone. You can hook almost anything into the logic layer and control when it acts. There's no single way to solve a problem. How you build it is up to you. And yes, there is dark mode.

The demo gives you three figures to build, ending with a more complex house where you'll need to get both the shape and colours right. There's no time limit, so take as long as you need to work it out. The full game has many more tiers, eventually working your way up to pieces as large as 32x32. The demo also has 33 Puzzles levels, and the full game has 94.

• More content: Many more figures to build, with shapes that get harder to crack.

• Puzzles: 94 levels to solve, from simple belts to logic circuits.

• In-game leaderboards: The first 10 seeds each have their own leaderboard. Pick a figure and see how far you can push your throughput.

  When you play the full game with Steam available, your score and an encrypted replay proof of your factory's scoring window are uploaded to Steam so I can check the result on my PC; only I hold the private key needed to open the proof. You can turn off future uploads with ‘Leaderboard uploads’ in Settings.

• Steam Workshop: Create and share your own target figures, or download figures made by other players.

• Achievements: Just achievements. To show that you know what you're doing.

• Screenshot mode: Take one huge screenshot of your entire factory. Really large maps may need to be split into several images or exported at a lower resolution.

CLOGWORK is made by one developer. I'll keep updating it after launch.
