A surreal building game for VR. Create life-sized contraptions as tall as you can reach, then send them whirling, flinging, and trundling off to solve puzzles on the other side of a floating island. There are no right or wrong solutions, so bring your creativity.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

This build has been sitting on the 'Experimental' branch for a looooong time waiting for me to get out some of the hardware I don't use very regularly. The previous 'classic' version that's been up ever so long is still available in the builds panel as 2.02

It's been a few months but we haven't been resting! This update brings a whole ton of bug fixes, performance improvements, and a whole boatload of new language support. We've even included a new special "no frills" quality setting in case your machine has trouble pushing enough pixels to your VR headset. This should help you out! Check it out and let us know what you think. (Full patch notes here)

Since the Kaiju Update we've been fixing a few issues and adding some new gameplay that we thought were important to get out there quickly. Most notably, perhaps, is some major tweaks to the audio system when playing at larger scales. See the changelog since 1.5.0 below, or the entire history here. 1.5.4 November 30th 2016 Customized in-game twitter messages are now saved between sessions More strings added to language files Fixed issue where GIF recording instructions were too difficult to read EyeBug's preview window now caps framerate at 30FPS to help performance 1.5.3 November 29th 2016 Fi

The version 1.5.0 update, aka Kaiju Update, is so big, it’s Godzilla big. Because now you are the monstrous, lazer-breathing beast that hovers over Fantastic Contraption levels, the contraptions and wee Neko so tiny and innocent down there on the ground. Yes we do love room scale, but there are times and places where you just want to reach over your entire contraption without walking across the room. And so we present: Kaiju Scale. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/12132634/4c711a7fb6209a1416d4575b7792ab3aeb036c2c.png You can scale from 50% of regular room
