Clockwork: Gridlock · v0.1.0

⚙ STAGES

The campaign chapters descend the stopped tower — new wardens, new threats, and the answer at the Mainspring Vault.

The daily and the Doctrine are free here, forever. The campaign lives in the full game:

—

Move, then strike. Tap a glowing warden → green diamonds are moves, gold markers are targets. First tap previews the outcome, second tap commits.
Red tiles are locked attacks — every foe shows where it will strike before your turn. Shove them and their blow lands where they no longer aim.
The bell is the clock. The rail on the left shows which rows of gears seize after which round. Don't be standing there. Neither should they.

The one trick: attacks lock direction, not target. Move the attacker — the attack doesn't follow.

Undo is free and unlimited. 💡 Tip shows the best line when you're stuck. The Doctrine (six 1-minute lessons) teaches everything by hand.
