Games Like Pressure Works

Pressure Works

Snap together pneumatic parts, connect them with hoses, and build machines that actually work. Pressure is both muscle and wiring: drive cylinders, gear down a crank engine, and build logic circuits out of valves. Then take a seat and drive what you built.
