Cogworks: Idle Contraptions

Engineer chaos for profit. Every second your cog spends tumbling through your contraption increases its value. Build elaborate Rube Goldberg machines, watch the money roll in, and reinvest in wilder obstacles.

How to Play

Drop cogs into your custom-built machine and watch them bounce, roll, and tumble toward the collector. The longer the journey, the more valuable they become. Use your earnings to unlock new obstacles and contraptions, then design even more absurd (and profitable) machines.

The goal isn't efficiency—it's spectacular, money-making chaos.
