Our take on Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory
Rather than demanding a flawless production line, the game accepts 75% of the quota and lets imperfect machines pass. Its focus is on watching physical processes unfold and finding workable constructions, with precision reserved for the optional hard mode and its leaderboards.
What is Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory?
Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory is an automation puzzle game about assembling machines from conveyors, cannons, and other simple components.
Players direct nuts into chocolate, break caramel into pieces, and add food colouring through physics-based processes. Each puzzle can be solved in multiple ways, with completion set at 75% of the required quota rather than requiring a flawless factory. A harder mode adds leaderboards for players seeking efficiency challenges. The game includes the level editor used to create its puzzles, plus Steam Workshop support for sharing custom levels. Individual levels also track efficiency and complexity, allowing solutions to be compared by those measures. Machines run after construction, so the results can be observed without further input.
How Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory plays
- 01Physics-based processes
- Materials visibly move through each machine, making missed shots and other failures traceable during operation.
- 02Quota-based completion
- A level is completed after producing 75% of its target, so occasional losses do not automatically invalidate a machine.
- 03Optional hard mode
- A more demanding version of the challenge includes leaderboards for efficiency.
- 04Custom level creation
- The included editor is the same tool used to build the game's own stages.
- 05Workshop sharing
- Steam Workshop support allows player-created levels to be shared.
