In short

Rogue's Cog is a steampunk bubble-shooter roguelike where you climb a turning tower by matching gears and firing a cannon. Each run is one attempt with a single score, and you level mutations drafted mid-climb to change how the board behaves. One thing that stands out is the Frenzy chain, which opens the furnace door so points pour out until it closes again.

Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.

About

A steampunk bubble-shooter roguelike. Load. Match. Climb.

The Copper City looks up. The tower above it never stops turning.

You climb it with a cannon. Load a gear. Match its color to what leans over the board. Fire. Some gears fall away. Some do not. The tower drops another row into your face.

Every match is a coin the tower pays. Every miss is a step it takes down. When the ceiling reaches your shot, the run is over. There is no second run. There is the score you took.

THE ASCENT

The tower is not fair. It never was.

Each climb starts with the same cannon and a different bad hand. Between rounds a machinist offers you tools — a colder kiln, a wilder gear, a stolen governor, a keg. You take one. It changes shape as you take it again. By Mk. V it stops being a tool and becomes a promise.

Play the tower with what you have. It never gives what you asked for.

WHAT IS INSIDE

One run, one score. The tower keeps no receipts. You keep no continues.

Draft mutations mid-climb. Nine blueprints, five ranks each — every one you level bends the loop harder in one direction.

Chain into Frenzy. Land the right sequence and the furnace door welds open — points come out white-hot until the door closes again.
