Version 1.0.5 now live!

It's been one week since we launched Fantastic Contraption, and it's been a great one. We got to play all the other Vive games that we've been eagerly awaiting (and streamed a marathon 13 hours of it), and there were no major issues with the game. But there have been some bugs, which today's 1.0.5 update will now address, most notably the Infinite Level Load Loop and Massive Twitch Chat Box. I've decided we should name our best bugs to make them more fun... not that fixing bugs isn't already amazing fun... If you do run into one of these issues again or any new ones, please report it using the form inside the game (on your monitor view) which will send us your log. And you may want to switch to the experimental beta branch to see if we already have a fix pending there. Thanks so much to those who have helped us so far! More coming soon! New in 1.0.4 - warning if play area under min requirements - confirmations for delete buttons - fix dynamic menu layout and text sizes - fix Massive Twitch Chat Box - fix make twitch box stay connected - make large contraption replays run faster - prevent throwing contraption models out of bounds - fix make exit burrito more stable - make music play in background when game loses focus - fix steam overlay affecting contraptions New in 1.0.5 - fix (hopefully) Infinite Level Load Loop - fix (hopefully) win animation not triggering - fix highlighting correct level model after you load one - improve achievement cleared level check - moar meows - fix maquette in dark world when you throw in light world - fix wrong model base colors

Fantastic Contraption is surreal building game for Vive VR. 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.

We've 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 you'll forget you're holding controllers. Need a wheel? Just pick it up. Want a longer rod? Just grab an end and stretch. It's like playing with children's blocks, except they're bigger than you are.

  • Noble ancestry. Fantastic Contraption is the VR evolution of Colin Northway's 2008 2d browser game, played by millions and still playable for free. But don't 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... you'll figure it out.

  • Surreal and beautiful landscape. Hey guy, chill here awhile, why don't you just lie down in the grass and just listen to the sky whales singing? You'll 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 he's kind of a green cat blimp thing powered by pink farts. He doesn't 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 it's okay...

  • Online sharing. Venture bravely into the dark world-within-a-world to load contraptions made by your friends and also some random people. Marvel at the crazy crap they came up with. Then narrow your eyes and say: I can beat this. I can do better.
