Carve Factory!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dive into a relaxing strategic puzzle experience where you carve wooden rings to form growing spirals. Tap to carve — rings shrink from outside to inside while a spiral forms on your tool. Release the carving tool and send the spiral to the machine. Spirals that enter the machine transform into color pencils. Pencils line up side by side into the dock area. When the boxes are filled with pencils of their color, they are packed, and a new box arrives. To complete the boxes, you need to carve rings in the correct color. If pencils don’t match any box, they stay in the dock area. If the dock area is full, you will fail. By carving rings in the right colors, you become a master of spirals.
