Windup Works
Build a toy company. Start in a garden shed with one founder and a workbench, design toys from 31 themes and six types, win over four critics, and grow through a Workshop and a Loft to a Campus over thirty years of fads, eras and new ways to sell. Hire and train a team, research new ideas, build production lines, and retire with a Legacy to be proud of. The Shed years are free to play; one purchase unlocks the Full Company. No ads, ever.

Something broken, a review that feels unfair, or a question? Write to nubeostudio@gmail.com and you will get a reply from a person.
It helps to include your device, its system version, and the company's year.
Common questions
- Why did the critics score my toy low? Every review is judged against the Bar, which rises each time you beat your best. The Sales Report after each release says what helped and what hurt: the pairing of theme and type, where the team spent its time, defects, and making the same thing twice in a row.
- Time moves too fast. The clock stops under every panel and card. Settings has an Unhurried speed (9 seconds a week), and the pause button holds the week for as long as you like.
- What does the Full Company unlock? The Shed years, a whole run up to the first office move, are free. The Full Company opens the Workshop, the Loft and the Campus, and the rest of the thirty years, for every company you start. It is one payment, not a subscription, and it is shared with your family through Family Sharing.
- I bought the Full Company on another device. Settings or About, Restore Purchase.
- Are my companies safe? Every company saves by itself at every month, when a panel closes and when you leave the app, with older copies kept in case one is damaged. With iCloud on, companies follow you to your other iPhone or iPad; if one was played on two devices, Home asks which to keep.
- My company went bankrupt. Once per run you can rewind to the start of the previous year and try again.
- Game Center? Optional. Leaderboards for Legacy and review streaks, and 24 achievements. The game never asks you to sign in when it starts.
Privacy
The short version: no account, no ads, and the app never asks to track you. Your companies stay on your device and in your own iCloud. It counts how it is used and reports crashes so we can fix them, and you can switch that off in Settings. The full privacy policy has the detail.
