Tinker Bench

Merge game

Phones and computers

Tinker Bench is a merge game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Tap toolboxes for parts, then drag matching pairs together to merge them up three chains, from a pin to a grandfather clock or a wire to a robot. Each tap costs energy, which comes back over time. Fill twenty workshop orders for coins, and the day ends with a shop rating based on your time.

Controls

Tap a toolbox; drag parts to merge, move or sell; Deliver on an order
Keys: arrows move, Space picks up and puts down, G uses a toolbox, 1–3 deliver

Tips

Every delivery gives back three energy as well as coins, so delivering the moment an order is ready keeps the toolboxes running.
Order pay climbs with the square of the tier: a tier 2 part pays 22 coins, tier 5 pays 85 and the final tier 8 order pays 202.
The clock runs only while you play, and the shop rating is set by the total: five stars under 35 minutes, four under 45, three under 60.

Can I stop and come back later?

Yes. The bench, orders, coins and energy are saved, and energy keeps returning while the game is closed, one point every 7 seconds up to the cap of 50. The day's timer that sets the final rating only counts while you are playing, so a run can be spread over several sittings.

How many parts does a tier 8 take?

A tier 8 part such as a grandfather clock, robot or music box takes 128 first-tier parts merged in pairs: two of tier 7, four of tier 6 and so on. One tap in eight gives a tier 2 part instead, which saves a merge, and the last of the twenty orders asks for a tier 8.
