GEARBOX SYMPHONY
Build machines that make music

Somewhere in a brass-plated factory, a collection of musical blueprints has gone missing. The machines are silent. The gears have stopped turning. Somebody needs to rebuild them — and that somebody is you.

Your job? Listen to each blueprint, figure out what goes where, and piece together a mechanical orchestra from scratch. No sheet music. No instructions. Just your ears and a box full of tools.

━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━
🎵
STEP 1
Listen to the Blueprint — that's your target melody
🔧
STEP 2
Place tools onto the grid and try to match the pattern
STEP 3
Hit POWER ON — the playhead sweeps and strikes your tools
STEP 4
Earn at least 2 stars to clear. 3 stars if you're that good.
━━━ YOUR TOOLBOX ━━━

Each tool makes a different sound when the playhead hits it.

🔨 Hammer A sharp metallic clang — your main percussion.
🪗 Bellows A warm breathy "whoosh" — like a pipe organ breathing.
🌀 Spring A bright bouncy "boing!" — playful and fun.
🔱 Tuning Fork A clean, sustained tone. The closest to a real note.
⚙️ Gear A mechanical click-clack. Perfect for filling gaps.
━━━ THE FACTORY ━━━
Floor 1 — The Brass Workshop
5 levels to teach you the ropes. Small grids, simple patterns. Friendlier than it looks.
Floor 2 — Steam Powered
Bigger grids, trickier melodies. You'll start second-guessing yourself — and that's the fun part.
Floor 3 — Crystal Harmonic
The final floor. All 5 tools, complex patterns, and melodies that'll make you hit replay.
━━━ FREE PLAY ━━━

Beat Floor 2 and you unlock Free Play — same puzzle, your rules. Crank up the grid width, limit your toolbox, or go all-out. Blueprints get randomly generated every time, so no two rounds play the same.

Pro tip: turn off "Live Star Score" for a blind challenge — you won't see your rating until you hit POWER ON.
