Good game, fits the theme well and is quite innovative. I also like the music and sound effects.

I opened the 2nd part of the car :).

I also like the gameplay, it's addictive :).

It was fun, congratulations!

The audio pulls you in immediately — immersive from the first second. Once you got past the onboarding - watching the cogs tumble through is genuinely satisfying.

The UI could be a bit more intuitive for first-time players, but the core concept has real potential.

Great foundation — well done! ⚙️

Reminded me of Britain's Industrial Revolution. The mid-game stretch before things got automated felt a bit dull, honestly. But once I saw my wealth growing rapidly, I started wanting to earn more. That said, the middle stretch wasn't easy to push through. I think that mid-game phase is the biggest wall in this game. Had a great time playing!

Yeah, after the release and retrying with a fresh save I've started to notice that the first expansion takes longer than intended. Thanks for the feedback.

This is one of those games that can keep somebody sitting there all day just building different variations haha.

I enjoyed playing this game more than most.  I think you did a good job with balancing the progression.  I always try to find the weak point in the upgrades, but I didn't find one in yours.  You should take this knowledge and expand it into something more unique or eye catching.

I thought this game has a lot of potential! (ツ)ノ

I really like this kind of game where you think, “What will happen if I place this?”

Super enjoyable clicker with enough dopamine induced feedback to keep me clicking. Fun game!

Very nice, well done!
One trick is to trap cogs in  top right and remove on bumper to gain the jackpot then reinstal it!

Simple but very fun. Great work bro!

You really understood the idle aspect. I like it a lot, although the sheer number of possibilities for building your factory is a bit overwhelming, haha.

The game is very fun and addictive!! It's a great clicker game.

The gameplay is so addictive, I played for a long time without even realizing it. It's really relaxing to watch the gears run on the automated routes I built. It would be great to have a feature to remove objects, though. Right now, if I accidentally place something incorrectly, it seems the only option is to just put it in an empty space. Overall, a really fun game!

Developer

Yeah, I was going to add a way to remove objects, but ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback.

I think its a little simple idea, but really fun to play it. I would like to click and put some of the cogs where my click is, just to do more things and be more in the game, just my opinion, good!

Very good mechanics, I really enjoyed playing your game!

Developer

Thank you very much appreciated

Really cool mechanics. It's easy to learn but hard to master. awesome job! Leaving a rating for sure. 5/5

Developer

Thanks a lot mate.

That was fun!  I think I found (and abused) a "bug" where I could place things like conveyors where I wasn't supposed to (left click to pick up a conveyor, try to place it somewhere and fail, right click to cancel, and it goes to the "failed" place - really helped me buff my pachinko machine!).  I wished it remembered my rotation selection between placements, or more easily let me place multiple things, I kept placing conveyors going the wrong way.  Income growth felt good, opening up the new factory was nice, especially with each new area having a new mechanic to explore.  

Developer

Thanks a lot for the comment and the bug report. I think I know exactly why that happened. I'll be fixing it after the event is over. Glad that you enjoyed :D

Very fun game. took me awhile to figure out what to do, but once I got it it was very satisfying. Nice work!
