Features
Read full description

Cozy Clockwork Colony is a warm automation puzzle game about rebuilding floating garden islands with belts, presses, chargers, and bloom looms. Each island starts with a resource source, a goal, and a small tray of clockwork parts. Place machines, run the route, and tune the layout for faster, cleaner deliveries. The first five levels include interactive coaching, while the full campaign grows into layered factory-style puzzles that stay readable on iPhone and iPad. Play the free starter campaign, chase daily challenge scores, build streaks, earn stars, restore cosmetic colony upgrades, and compete through Game Center leaderboards and achievements. iCloud progress sync keeps your colony, skins, stars, and streaks moving across your devices when available. Free players get three active play days without ads. Optional purchases unlock the base campaign, remove ads, add the Aurora Atelier expansion, and add helper skins. Purchases are cosmetic or content unlocks and do not change puzzle balance. Works with iPhone Duo. Keep the puzzle board and workshop details together as you plan each route.
