About
Golemworks is an experimental fusion of tower defense and factory builder. You must assemble a factory that generates an army of automatons. These automatons automatically fight and defend your golem foundry from waves of encroaching shadows.
Molds activate on a cooldown, and generate a golem core - the 'recipe' for an automaton.
Catalysts are the production infrastructure. They can add levels, add elemental attributes, or otherwise alter a core
Survival will hinge on your ability to optimize the strength of your golem army. Good luck.

A really cool concept, you're fighting RNG and planning as well as the incoming wave. For $7 it's a solidly priced experience. There's an endless mode after you complete the round but it didn't take me long to break the game with 2fps. To me the best games let you break them, it's fun finding combinations that become truly ridiculous.
This one's a brain-buster. Doing things randomly will only keep you alive a few waves. Get ready to flex your cranium. Efficient spending, carefully choosing between models and upgrades, properly laying out advantage systems, committing to strategies, pivoting those commitments, timing expansions and other investment expenditures... Do all these things and maybe you'll beat the first stage inside 10 hours.

Pretty fun little puzzle!
Really original and engaging game, definitely recommend. Sudden difficulty spikes end runs abruptly, which is a bummer, but game is still amazing - hopefully a future fix will solve the issue.
Very nice idea, but UI lacks polising. Your start button may be disabled and you never know why.
Loved the concept. Very unique and fun to play. Only thing i miss is more progression. More stuff to unlock. Feels like you got access to almost everything from the get go and it hurts replayablility. Also a little bit random. Would be cool to be able to have a deck of cards to play with, or at least the possibility to set preferences so you get them more often. Otherwise i really enjoy.
Very simple to get into, but there's a nice depth to explore as you get better and more confident at the game. I've run into some performance issues, but only when at 3x speed on levels in endless mode after beating wave 40, so half to be expected as ever greater numbers of enemies are spawned.
its so fun
Amazing game, made such an efficient factory that made the best robots in such numbers that it lagged the game. 10 out of 10 would lag the game again, its proof im winning.
create golem factory begin looping golem cores through the factory multiple times, increasing power begin multiplying profit
