iPhone
Shoot down flying junk, grow a factory town and take on General Crowbar's bosses. 50 levels, endless Frontiers and 10 kinds of weather.
General Crowbar's scrap robots are flying at Cogville! Tincans, Screwballs, Milk Cans, Rolling Pins and Tenpins - a whole sky of flying household junk is heading for the factories. Build towers, tap to intercept and keep the factories running.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Towers fire on their own - your taps decide the outcome.
• Tap the sky to launch the Interceptor. Catch 3 or more at once for a combo.
• A marker on a factory means a Tenpin is coming: tap when the ring turns gold for a perfect catch and a double reward.
• Swipe across the sky for a Line Strike.
CAMPAIGN: 50 LEVELS IN 5 ACTS
• Every level brings a new weapon or trick: Lasers, Lightning Towers, Balloon Traps, Sound Towers, a Net Launcher, a Magnet Crane and more.
• 15 tower families with upgrades and branches.
• 30+ kinds of flying junk, 5 planes and 5 bosses - from the Cargo Copter to General Crowbar's Flagship.
• 10 kinds of weather change the rules: rain, snow, fog, wind, night and storm. The weather report tells you which towers work best.
• Stuck on a level? Pick EASIER: slower enemies, softer hits.
YOUR FACTORY TOWN
• Build six kinds of factories: Steel Mill, Cannery, Electronics, Machine Works, Brickworks and Clockworks.
• Factories side by side earn more - but Tenpins aim at the richest group. Plan your layout.
• The storage keeps filling with gears even while the game is closed.
• Workshop: permanent upgrades - Firepower, Fire rate, Factory armor, Starting coins and the Interceptor.
• Research Bureau: research runs in real time.
ENDLESS FRONTIERS
After level 20 the Frontiers open: endless waves in shifts of 10, a boss every 10th wave, planes, and new weather every shift. How far can you hold?
WEEKLY OPERATION
The same map and the same 8 towers for everyone. Workshop, Bureau and Orders are off - only skill counts. Reach bronze, silver, gold or excellent and climb the leagues from Boot Camp to Legends.
STYLE
Themes for the whole game (Cogville Classic, Candy Toon, Steel Works, 8-Bit), effects, tower materials, town styles and the Gold Collection. Try anything on for 10 seconds or test it in one battle a day. Looks only: no damage, no bonuses.
PLAY FAIR
• No loot boxes, nothing random: everything is shown upfront.
• No energy: play as long as you like.
• Orders speed up research and buy looks in Style. Daily supply, three daily tasks and a stamp card give Orders for free.
• Optional reminders when the storage is full or research is done - never at night.
• Cartoon robots fall apart into gears - nothing scary.
• Works offline. English and Russian.
OPTIONAL PURCHASES
• HQ Pass, a monthly subscription: the storage collects itself, holds 24 h and 50% of income, +1 research slot with a queue of 3, +20 Orders a day. It never affects the rating. Renews every month; cancel any time in the store.
• Order packs: the first purchase of each pack is doubled. Bought Orders never expire.
• For players under 13, every purchase first asks a grown-up to solve a math question.
