A chill pixel sandbox where you tinker with materials and circuits to build contraptions or cause chaotic explosions at your own pace.

What players say
Players enjoy the freedom to build anything from sand to calculators and nuclear reactors, but many say the physics are lacking and the game gets boring quickly. The lack of an undo button frustrates builders, and long-time players note that updates are infrequent, limiting what can be done.
