Steampunk Idle Spinner has you construct elaborate machines from mines and cogwheels to portals and electric generators, then watch them spin and accumulate wealth passively. The core loop blends construction with idle progression, creating a satisfying cycle of building and spectating. Fans of classic incremental games will appreciate its straightforward mechanics, though those expecting modern features like cloud saves may find it feels dated.

I'd give it a "Neutral" score if I could.

A true classic of the idle genre, and a good one at that. It is a bit dated though, and it shows. I saw the dev asking people on reddit if we'd be interested in a Steam port, to which I said yes, and here I am buying it and playing it since it brought back a lot of good memories from my childhood, but it's a bit sad that it was ported as-is from the mobile version.

The UI leaves a lot to be desired for a PC game, it feels like I'm playing an emulator, and it's not a particularly cute or user friendly one. The Buying menu should be locked to open, or at least let us choose if it closes or not. The buttons at the top need some art work; Same for the Travel menu; Screenshot button should be deleted since Steam has a built-in function; All the social media buttons should be removed or reworked... You get the idea, make it less of a mobile looking game.

Lastly. No Achievements. I hope we get them someday. Usually I wouldn't even buy a game without achievements, but I wanted to support this dev since I played this game A LOT in the past, so I feel like I had to purchase it in exchange for all those hours, but I don't see myself playing it much if we don't get achievements.

The game has 7 worlds with incredible machines in them, featuring major gaslamp fantasy concepts: cogwheels, conveyor belts, automatons, electric charges, underwater bases, floating islands, mechanical houses, steam engines!The path to Steam release was quite long: 8 year ago, in summer 2017, the first lines of code were written and the first animated GIF was posted to Reddit. The game engine was rewritten several times, and the game art, controls and balance changed often, as a response to testers' feedback.During its development the game was the winner/finalist in several gamedev contests: in Kyiv, Prague, Helsinki, Skövde and Los Angeles. Together with future players we conducted a month-long streaming marathon adding the finalizing touches to the game. BTW, all the game is entirely human-made: both the code and art and sound.So, now, thanks to the support of our community, Steam version is ready to play! And we in Ukraine can stay at home making games thanks to the protection of our Defense forces and help from our friends worldwide. Thank you!Hope, you will like exploring the mechanical universe of Steampunk Idle Spinner! Good luck and have fun! :)
