Measure twice, cut once.
Coming soon to iOS, Android and Steam
About the game
A work order comes in with a drawing: a machine foot, a bolt tray, a servo bracket. A block of aluminium sits in the vise and the tools for the job hang in the rack, a few of them tempting and wrong. Record the program one step at a time at the machine’s console, press CYCLE START and watch the cutter carve the block exactly as you told it to, chips flying.
The steps you record become real machine code, and the inspector measures the finished part against the drawing. A long cutter reaches deep but wobbles, a long drill wanders unless a spot drill seats it first, and a round cutter leaves its radius in every inside corner. The puzzle is in the plan.

Questions
When does it come out?
There is no date yet. The Perfect Part is coming to iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets and to Windows on Steam; we will post on our news page and our socials when there is a date.
Do I need to know CNC machining or G-code?
No. You record each step with a few keys and taps on the part, in plain words. The game writes the machine code from your steps, and shows it on the console’s screen while it cuts.
What happens when a run goes wrong?
Nothing is lost. TRY AGAIN puts a fresh block in the vise and keeps your program, so you only fix the step that went wrong. As an Apprentice, the machine also stops itself the moment before a crash.
