The gameplay is centered around building contraptions through a unique welding mechanic, diverging from traditional resource-piping automation games. Players appreciate the clever gameplay loop that transforms simple components into complex puzzles, revealing increasing depth as they progress. Overall, it combines automation with a Terraria-like experience, appealing to fans of both genres.
“I do like that it focuses on building contraptions rather than the 'pipe resource A into machine B' gameplay that a lot of other automation games use.”
“The main mechanic is welding blocks together.”
“It all comes together as a really clever gameplay loop where simple components come together as complex puzzles.”
“The more I play, the more depth I've found in the deceptively simple core mechanics!”

The graphics are criticized for their low frame rate of 23 fps at 4K resolution, especially given the simplistic 8-bit graphical fidelity, indicating a significant need for optimization.
“23 fps is crazy low at 4K resolution considering the 8-bit graphical fidelity, so it's clearly in need of some optimization.”
“The graphics look outdated and fail to impress, making the game feel less immersive.”
“Textures are bland and lack detail, which detracts from the overall visual experience.”

Players note that the grinding aspect of the game resembles a sandbox version of Infinifactory, where the focus shifts from solving puzzles to constructing machines that automate repetitive and tedious tasks. This design choice emphasizes a more labor-intensive gameplay experience.
“The most direct comparison is a sandbox Infinifactory, where instead of solving specific puzzles, you're building contraptions to do tedious tasks for you.”
