Goblin Workshop
A tile-placement idle where boxes roll down conveyor belts and you tap goblins onto stations that smash, press, and burn them.
Boxes flow through your workshop; tap a tile to assign a goblin to smash/press/burn it, and the processed output earns coins to hire bigger goblins.
One-thumb: tap a conveyor tile to assign the next available goblin from the queue.

Reviewer Stephen Lindberg called Gazzilion 'what it's like to work in an Amazon return center' — that relatable joke has viral legs.
Conveyor-idle with smash/press/burn stations leans on the familiar Amazon-warehouse gag, which has been mined by countless YouTube/TikTok memes — recognizable but not novel.Conveyor Rush by CityPark/MWM is a near-direct conveyor-idle hypercasual comp, validating the hook genre ↗
The 'Gazzilion Boxes' itch.io source and Stephen Lindberg Amazon-return-center quote returned zero web results across two searches, so the virality anchor is unverified and meme legs are speculative.Even when the source meme is unverifiable, the conveyor-factory genre gets streaming/TikTok attention from gameplay clips ↗
Single tap-to-assign from a queue on a tile is genuinely one-thumb and onboards in seconds — classic idle-clicker simplicity.
MWM-published Conveyor Rush proves conveyor-idle hypercasuals monetize via rewarded video between waves and interstitials, with strong retention; the smash/press/burn loop gives natural rewarded-video hooks (speed-up, reroll goblin).MWM (major hypercasual publisher) shipping Conveyor Rush confirms the ad-format and CPI viability ↗
Crowded: MWM already ships a 'Goblin's Workshop' (weapons/monsters idle RPG) on iOS, and Conveyor Rush is a direct conveyor-idle hypercasual comp — the goblin + conveyor + idle intersection is already occupied by serious publishers.Existing 'Goblin's Workshop' by MWM occupies the goblin-workshop keyword and audience ↗Conveyor Rush is the direct mechanic comp on the same one-thumb conveyor-belt idle loop ↗
