Clogwork

Clogwork is a factory-building puzzle game about moving pieces along lanes and delivering them to the Hub. Every piece is a real object with a fixed size: a slab three cells wide needs three lanes to move. You glue, cut, rotate and transport pieces, arranging the factory to improve your score and throughput.

Build and inspect your factory

You can play in 2D or 3D and switch between them at any time without stopping the factory. Rotate the camera to inspect a jam or pull back to view the whole operation. Pieces can get stuck when they cannot fit through a tight space, blocking everything behind them.

Control the flow

Filter pieces by colour, size or number of cells, then choose what to cut, push or leave alone. You can connect almost anything to the logic layer and control when it acts. There is no single required solution, so you decide how to build each design. A dark mode is also available.

Figures and puzzles

The full game includes figures to build across many tiers, with shapes that become harder to solve and pieces eventually reaching 32x32 cells. Its 94 Puzzles levels range from simple belts to logic circuits. The demo contains three figures, ending with a more complex house that requires the right shape and colours, as well as 33 Puzzles levels. There is no time limit in the demo.

Scores and sharing

The first 10 seeds each have their own in-game leaderboard. Choose a figure and try to increase your throughput. When you play the full game with Steam available, your score and an encrypted replay proof of the factory's scoring window are uploaded to Steam for the developer to check; only the developer holds the private key needed to open the proof. You can turn off future uploads in Settings under “Leaderboard uploads.”

Steam Workshop lets you create and share target figures or download figures made by other players. The game also includes achievements and a screenshot mode for capturing the entire factory in one large image. Very large maps may need to be split across several images or exported at a lower resolution.
