Idle factory builderPortraitiOS and AndroidIn development

A cozy idle factory game on sunny islands: every tile is one building, conveyor belts link them up, and a single wheat farm slowly grows into a whole economy.

The game

What is Tile Factory?

Tile Factory is a cozy idle factory game for phones, played in portrait with one thumb. Place a tile on the sea and it rises as a little grass block with one building on top: a farm, a mill, a bakery, a dock. Draw a conveyor belt between two tiles and goods start moving on their own.

Wheat becomes flour, flour and eggs become dough, dough becomes bread, and bread pays for the next idea. Sell at the docks, fill orders, research new tricks and sail on to new islands, each with goods of its own. The factory keeps running while you are away, and the game ends when every quest is cleared and the airship launches.

Highlights

What makes it fun

  • The Bakery tile: a brick bakery with a giant loaf on its roof, on a grass block

    Every tile is a building

    Each tile holds one building, and it rises out of the sea when you place it. Move, rotate and upgrade tiles whenever you like, so a factory is never finished.

  • Just draw the belt

    Drag from one tile to the next and goods start moving. Splitters, mergers, bridges, tunnels and filters arrive as your factory grows, but one simple belt is always enough to get going.

  • The Grain Mill tile: a small windmill with grain sacks and a silo

    Recipes that chain

    Two wheat make flour, flour and an egg make dough, and dough makes bread. Later chains run through glass, gears and furniture all the way to phones.

  • It keeps running while you are away

    Factories keep working while the game is closed, and a Welcome Back card shows what they earned. Research stretches that time from 4 hours up to a full day.

  • Sell, fill orders, research

    Docks sell whatever arrives, though flooding the market softens the price. Orders pay extra, and research speeds up farms, belts and more.

  • A score for every map

    Each map gets a live score out of 100 for flow, space, money and variety, with a grade, a breakdown and tips on what to improve next.

  • Your camera, your thumb

    Keep the diamond view from the concept art, or turn the map straight on or look down from higher up. Upgrade every tile at once, or hold the button to keep upgrading one.

  • Ready for folding iPhones

    The layout follows the window, so on iPhone Duo it fits the outer screen, the inner screen and Split View.
