Laundry Machine
Read full descriptionHide full description
Run your own laundromat, one garment at a time. Dirty laundry piles up on the shop floor. Drag it into a washing machine, hit start, and tip the load back out. Now it's wet, so it goes to the dryer. Dry clothes head to the ironing board one at a time and come back pressed, with a little star. Stack three matching pressed garments and they fold into a bale in that garment's own color. Drag the bale to the delivery van and get paid. That's the whole game: a production line you run with your thumb. WHAT YOU DO - Drag dirty laundry into a washer, four garments per load - Move the wet load to a dryer - Press dry garments on the ironing board, one at a time - Fold matching pressed garments into bales at the packing table - Load the delivery van to cash out EVERY STAGE HAS A PRICE Handing a damp shirt straight to the van pays pocket change. Take it all the way to a folded bale and it pays properly. Short on cash for another machine? Sell early. Playing the long game? Finish the line. BUILT FOR THUMBS - Pure drag and drop, no menus to fight - Only the right machine lights up, so you cannot misfeed the line - Every station is hand-drawn, right down to the drum paddles and the van's wheels - iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape - Works offline - Playable in 15 languages Wash. Dry. Press. Fold. Deliver. Repeat.
