6 itemsAbout the Game
Goo creatures are running amok in the spell factory and its up to you and MAC (Magical Automatic Custodian) to stop them! Guide MAC through five waves of creatures with a boss at the end of each wave. Choose a reward after each fight to craft an unstoppable spell arsenal!
Clockwork Cleanup is an auto-battler where MAC's actions are defined by spell tiles placed in the central grid. The spell tiles are powered by elemental sources located on the perimeter of the grid. You must use pipes and splitters to route the energy to the tiles. Some tiles require multiple elements which can quickly create congestion. Space is limited, but there will be opportunities to expand the grid as you progress.
Modifier tiles can be attached to spell tiles to modify their behavior. A tile that may seem weak could shine with the right mods. Mix and match to find useful combinations.
Once per wave, the workshop offers you a chance to further modify your grid and tiles.
Fuse two elements together to create a dual-element tile.
Cut a tile into two smaller tiles.
Re-arrange the location of input connectors on tiles.
Increase the mod limit
Heal up
