Fantastic Contraption is surreal building game for virtual reality. Create life-sized machines 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. Your task is simple: get the squishy purple ball to that goal off in the distance or above you or on the other side of that gap. And your tools are elegantly minimalist: spinning wheels and stretchable rods. But the solutions are endless and there are no right or wrong ones.Weve designed this game from the ground up for room-scale VR. Come immerse yourself in a strange skybound archipelago and befriend Neko the photosynthesizing cat. Build contraptions with your own two hands life sized and as big as horses right there in front of you. Play with the physics juggle pieces throw darts and feel another world all around you.Features:Challenging puzzles. 50 official levels that range from cakewalk to what-the-hell-this-is-impossible-right-tell-me-this-is-impossible. But guess what it IS possible. I think.Infinite solutions. Working cars tanks catapults conveyor belts walking creatures or minimalist structures that use only gravity. Design for elegant simplicity or build a rattling pile of junk that just barely makes it to the goal. Whatever.Building with your own hands. Movement so simple and natural youll forget youre holding controllers. Need a wheel? Just pick it up. Want a longer rod? Just grab an end and stretch. Its like playing with childrens blocks except theyre bigger than you are.Noble ancestry. Fantastic Contraption is the VR evolution of Colin Northways 2008 2d browser game played by millions and still playable for free. But dont be fooled this new game is WAY different.Full 3d audio and music. Actually this game has no music. What it does have is musical instruments. Except you have to build them. Well... youll figure it out.Surreal and beautiful landscape. Hey guy chill here awhile why dont you just lie down in the grass and just listen to the sky whales singing? Youll totally forget the dystopian present and the 300 sqft windowless cube you now live in. Who needs sunlight? VR.Neko the toolbox. Yes your toolbox is alive and hes kind of a green cat blimp thing powered by pink farts. He doesnt seem to mind when you pull off one of his tails or yank a pin out of his head. They grow back pretty fast so I guess its okay...Online sharing. Venture bravely into the dark world-within-a-world to load contraptions made by your friends and also some random people.
