Our take on Mad Factory
The five-minute format keeps the game focused on quick score runs, but gives up the extended progression and narrative development found in longer VR games. Its design favors repeat attempts and group rotation over a substantial solo journey.
What is Mad Factory?
Mad Factory places players in a retro-futurist cookie factory as a new worker filling orders against a countdown.
The core loop involves baking cookies, adding frosting, and placing them in a delivery bucket while factory challenges become more demanding. The game is built for VR arcades and sessions last five minutes, with score chasing and leaderboards encouraging repeated play. Its setting includes flying robots, mechanical chickens, egg-cracking machines, and cascading milk. Interactions use haptic feedback, and the game is aimed at players aged 8 and up. It supports short group sessions for friends, families, parties, or dates.
