Brickwright Foundry

Brickwright Foundry is a cozy automation sim about running a little toy workshop. You lay down conveyor belts, set up machines to cut and paint parts, and slowly turn a messy room into a tidy production line. It scratches the same itch as big factory games but keeps it small enough for a phone.

The building controls are the standout. Placing and rotating belts with your finger is precise, and there's a handy copy tool once your layouts get fiddly. The game eases you in with gentle goals instead of dumping everything at once.

It's low stress by design. There's no failure state, just the quiet pleasure of untangling a bottleneck. I kept it open during a long train ride and it was a lovely way to pass the time.

What we liked

• Precise finger-based belt placement
• Relaxed, no-fail pacing
