This is a casual puzzle game. You need to move the gears into position so they fit together to create a pinball. The pinball falls down the track and hits the bumper, earning rewards. You can use the coins you earn to unlock more gears and make them fit together to create more pinballs. Or you can unlock more bumpers and let the gears hit more times to earn more rewards! Enjoy the thrill of crazy income coins!
