A downloadable game for Windows

In this game, you are designing a factory that makes computers. However, you've got to start out small and work your way up to more complicated things. Raw resources come out of the top and products are sold at the bottom.

Make sure you're making enough to pay your ever-increasing rent! If you have extra cash, you can upgrade your factory by clicking the upgrade button. That'll unlock new recourses and give you more space to work with, but you don't have time to re-make your factory, you'll just have to build off what you've got! Those conveyor belts aren't getting any faster!

To see all the recipes you can also click the recipe button (or check in the linked images). If you accidentally made something wrong, no trouble, just click the middle of the machine to clear it.

You can pan the camera by holding middle click, or using the WASD keys, and zoom out by scrolling. (For when your factory gets bigger)

You can enter build mode with Q and rotate things with R. The number keys will select different things.

F4 will get you a full-screen and ESC will restart the game.


Sorry about the abysmal music btw, it was a rushed job. There aren't any other sound effects so feel free to mute.

Also, yes, I know there is no substance that is both used as a battery and a magnet, but I just wanted to simplify things, ok.

This was made for the Gamemaker's Toolkit Game Jam 2024: BUILT TO SCALE

J.A.M. Game = Jankily Assembled Mockup Game (not really, but I thought it was funny)
