More about this game
Your goal is to power up eight different workshop machines by connecting them to a main engine. You do this by swapping neighboring clay gears on a 6x6 grid to form a continuous power line. Each level scrambles the correct path more heavily, giving you a strict move limit to fix the connections. If you run out of moves before the power flows, you have to reset the board and try a different route.
Tips
- Use the hint button if you get stuck; it highlights two specific gears that need to trade places for 2.2 seconds.
- Work backward from the machine on the right side of the board to figure out which gear shapes you need.
- You only get a small move bonus of 2 extra swaps per level, so plan your path carefully before moving.
FAQ
- How many levels are in the game?
- There are exactly 8 levels to complete. Each level connects to a different machine and scrambles the starting board a bit more than the last one.
- What happens if I run out of moves?
- If your move counter hits zero before the power connects, the level fails. You will need to use the reset button to restore the board and try again.
- Can I swap any two gears on the board?
- No, you can only swap gears that are directly next to each other horizontally or vertically. Diagonal swaps are not allowed in this grid.
