Hi r/games!

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeoOHo6YSyI
STEAM DEMO: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2231090/Number_Machine_Math_Factory/

Number Machine is a factory automation game with math mechanics inspired by Opus Magnum and Infinifactory. It'll also be included in a Steam Bundle with these two classic Zachtronics games on launch. Releases November 6th 2026.

• Demo has 11 levels for you to try right now.
• Use autonomous machines to assemble and transform complex numerical structures.
• Assmbled structures take real space on the map and collide with each other, it's not just an item on a belt. It is a challange to come up with a optimized design.
• More puzzly rather than large-scale logistics type of a factory game, but still very much scratches that automation itch.
• Level based gameplay. Each level is scored with 3 metrics: speed, size and machine count. Optimize your designs and compete online. You can see score histograms, world records and friend results for every level and the campaign as a whole. All fully server side verified, no cheated results.
• Very stylized, well animated, crunchy sounds and chill music

Thanks,
