About Impossible Repair Shop
You work a repair counter, and the job arrives already broken. Inspect the machine, work out what is wrong with it, pick the tool that fits and finish before the time runs out. Some jobs also ask you to move, and those switch from selecting with the mouse to steering.
The pressure is in the diagnosis rather than in the repair. The wrong tool costs you the seconds you needed, so the reading you do before you touch anything is the part that decides the job. It plays on a phone with taps and on a desktop with a mouse.
How to play
- Inspect the machine and find the fault.
- Pick the tool that fits the fault and make the repair.
- Finish the job before the time runs out.
Controls
| Tap a part, a tool or a button, or click it | Select it |
|---|---|
| The touch controls, or W A S D or the arrow keys | Move during a challenge that needs it |
Tips
- Inspect the whole machine first. A fault found late costs more than the look ever does.
- The wrong tool spends time you do not get back, so choose once instead of trying each one.
