Artia Laboratory, equipment development sector. Outsiders are not brought here — and you were. You are a test engineer. The job sounds simple: build a wrist device on the Fabricator and take it out to the testing ground, where the drones are waiting. What it turns into, nobody knows until you fire it. YOU BUILD IT The Fabricator prints equipment parts like a 3D printer. Web, electricity, ice, fire, gravity, ricochet, mines and more — combine two or three parts and see what comes out. Some parts hit, some only glow, and some combinations behave in ways you did not expect. YOU TEST IT Run, jump, shoot, dodge the lasers — every attack is telegraphed, so it comes down to your hands, not to luck. A normal run is five waves. A full three-part build unlocks a seven-wave trial. A boss waits at the end of every run. YOU FIND SECRETS Rare encounters unlock parts you will not meet in an ordinary build. Which ones — we are not telling. A single-player game with no account and no internet. Your record and unlocked parts stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fabrikator at none against ProgressBar95's 10. Fabrikator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). ProgressBar95's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
