Build it. Bolt it. Send it! Junk & Jolt is a cheerful physics puzzle game where every solution begins with a pile of parts and a bright idea. Build strange little machines from workshop junk, press GO, and watch Jolt roll, bounce, fly and tumble toward the charging dock. When a machine fails, adjust it and try again. Your contraption stays in place, so every attempt teaches you something new. There is often more than one way to solve a puzzle.

The Workshop
Read full descriptionHide full description
A brass ball falls. A hoop waits below. Between them, you build the machine that connects the two. The Workshop is a physics puzzle game about building small, satisfying contraptions. Each level hands you a few machines โ a fan, a seesaw, a cannon, a conveyor โ and an empty board. Where you place them, and which way they face, is the whole puzzle. Press GO and watch your machine run: if the ball lands home, it's on to the next one. If it doesn't, the fun is in seeing exactly why. BUILD WITH 20+ MACHINES Fans push, cannons launch, balloons lift, pipes teleport, magnets pull, and tar slows everything down. Machines are introduced one at a time across 100 hand-built levels, so there's always a new tool arriving just as you've mastered the last one. EVERY LEVEL IS SOLVABLE โ PROVABLY Each level's solution is machine-verified before it ships: it works at any frame rate, survives imprecise placement, and needs every machine it gives you. If you're stuck, it's not the level. STUCK ANYWAY? YOU DECIDE HOW MUCH HELP Reveal the solution one machine at a time with a Nudge, buy a little more clock when the timer runs hot, or skip a level that's beaten you and come back later. Help is always optional and never forced on you. MAKE THE BALL YOURS Earn coins by solving levels and spend them on ball finishes โ brass, jade, obsidian, prismatic โ and trails that ribbon behind the ball as it flies. RESPECTS YOUR TIME AND YOUR PRIVACY No account. No sign-in. Works offline. The free version shows non-personalised ads โ the game never tracks you across apps or websites โ and a single one-time purchase removes ads forever, unlocks every level, and makes hints free. One ball. One hoop. One hundred machines between them. Welcome to the workshop.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Junk & Jolt at none against The Workshop's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
