This is the fifth, Underwater, world of Steampunk Idle Spinner series. The first version of idle game with spinning cogwheels was made in June 2017 during a 3-days gamejam. As the concept proved to be interesting for the players, the development continued. The development of the game is screencast and then published as 1:60 timelapse video. Some development phases are broadcast to the players as live videos and often the players' suggestions are implemented online.

The Underwater world was the most demanded, according to the players' vote in the game's facebook group. This world introduces many new concepts unique to the series. They are:

- Wide usage of taps together with spins for interaction with machines;
