Gobs & Gears reimagines factory construction as a goblin-driven demolition puzzle

Background: The Premise Is an Urgent Goblin King Order

Gobs & Gears is a logistics puzzler: build it wrong. The player makes a temporary route, uses it briefly, then removes it. A goblin king wants one bomb immediately, so the path must work fast enough to finish it. The map starts under thick Fog, like London, limiting visibility until cleared.

Development Process: Scout Towers, Buildings, Trundlers, and Conveyor Routes

Scout Towers burn back Fog in bursts, revealing lost Buildings to restore. Fog hides objectives and resources. Restoring Buildings needs resources hauled by Trundlers on player-made conveyor routes. Routes are solutions and vulnerabilities: used, then ripped up. Mountains or odd buildings blocking the way can be blown up, showing the map is editable. Core: clear Fog, identify Buildings, use conveyors to bring resources, finish the bomb. The puzzle needs several short-lived networks, not one perfect network.

Latest Progress: Now Available on iPhone and What It Means for Players

Gobs & Gears is out now on iPhone. No release date beyond now, developer, publisher, sales figures, ratings, or longer story is given. The loop: Scout Towers reveal map; Buildings need restoration; Trundlers carry resources via conveyor routes; mountains/odd buildings can be exploded; goal is one bomb for an urgent goblin king. Gameplay is route planning, timing, destructive convenience. Best understood as a temporary-construction iPhone logistics puzzler: build wrong because the right answer is a route used, torn up, and replaced as fog, buildings, resources, and bomb needs change.
