Rhythm Factory

Craft to the beat.

You are the foreman of a unique automated factory. Your only tool is a Signal Tower. Press SPACEBAR​ on the beat to launch a rectangular signal wave that travels across the assembly line, activating any machine it touches.

But there’s a catch: the signal has a fixed speed. Machines farther away are triggered later. You must carefully watch the rhythm, plan your signals, and pre-calculate delays​ to operate presses, sorters, refiners, and packers in the correct sequence. Process raw shapes (triangle, circle, square), transform them, and fulfill precise orders before the clock runs out.

Core Gameplay:

Rhythm is King:​ Everything moves to a pulsing soundtrack. Launch signals and watch your factory operate in sync with the music.

Strategic Signaling:​ One button controls everything. Master the timing and positioning of your signal waves to create efficient production chains.

Factory Management:​ Manage a growing lineup of machines: Conveyor Belts, Shape Presses, Sorters, Refiners, and Packers. Each requires precise signal timing to function correctly.

Satisfying Puzzle:​ Each level is a new production puzzle. Analyze the layout, predict material flow, and schedule your signals to keep the line running smoothly and meet your quotas.
