How it feels

building whimsical contraptions in a surreal space feels like playful tinkering with no pressure to get it right.

What players say

Players praise the immersive VR building but say the three-part toolkit limits creativity. Many find later levels repetitive and the controls fiddly. Those who got the game free call it a nice demo, but most say the asking price is too high for what feels like a shallow puzzle game.
