Coin Factory
Place coin-maker tiles, chain their synergies, watch the mint grow: linorabolini's puzzle-idle.
by linorabolini · 2023 · Web (itch.io / Poki)
Coin Factory is linorabolini's puzzle-idle about placing coin-maker tiles: each tile mints on its own timer, adjacent tiles combine synergies, and the factory floor becomes an optimization puzzle that plays itself in the background. Free on itch.io and on Poki.
What the loop feels like
You place a coin-maker, it mints on its timer, and its neighbours multiply the output. That's Coin Factory.
The grid fills, synergies chain, and the puzzle stops being 'where does this go' and becomes 'what does this enable'. That's Coin Factory.
Playing it today
Free on itch.io and the Poki portal, both verified 200 in this rewrite. Five original-resolution screenshots plus the cover art above came straight from the itch gallery.
The verdict
A tidy, modern puzzle-idle with real spatial depth: the synergies make placement matter in a way pure clickers never manage. A pleasant afternoon with a spreadsheet in disguise.
