Gameplay in this game offers the ability to create complex mechanical structures, appealing to fans of titles like Scrap Mechanic and Trailmakers, particularly due to the option to resize parts. However, players note significant limitations, such as restrictions on engine placement and a lack of essential customization features, which detracts from the overall experience. While the puzzles are challenging and require a solid understanding of the mechanics, some users find the gameplay lacking in enjoyment compared to similar games.
“The ability to create complex mechanical structures is a good feature, but there are severe restrictions on the placement of engines, and there is no way to set rotors to be incremental.”
“Yes, the puzzles are hard, but that's because you have to really understand the mechanics to progress.”
“Mechanics-wise, the game is missing, in my opinion, a lot of mandatory customization features for parts that are available in other similar games.”
“The game has amazing art and music, but then you have the gameplay.”
“This game is rubbish and not very fun at all; I thought it might be a bit like Scrap Mechanic, how wrong was I.”

Overall, while the story introduces intriguing elements, it leaves players wanting more depth and substance.
“Awesome story mode.”
“Story feels more like a tutorial and was way too short without any rewards in a couple of last levels.”
“I spent 5 hours on the game's story mode, but the story mode is only an introduction to the real masterpiece that's hidden in this Unity game.”
