I refunded this "game." Cool concept, but is not a game in the classic sense. It is an emulator. There are a bunch of workshop items that display the breadth of what it can do but I would just recommend most people to spend their time elsewhere. I could write a book on why this is, but feel free to experience it for oneself. There are some issues I have with this product, 1. Would not launch the product until it received my location data from my laptop 2. Was running background process for over 4 hours after I launched the game. The process was not tracked by steam. The reason I immediately refunded this product. I do not recommend the use of this product.
I can see the appeal in it but the bugs were pretty annoying. Also, the tutorial wanted me to watch a youtube video, which is a huge turn off for me because I'd rather be taught in game than have to go back and forth on a monitor between youtube and the game.

This game looked great and I really wanted to enjoy it, but it's completely unplayable. Most UI buttons/interactions don't seem to work, and at a certain point the menu wouldn't slide out anymore and I got stuck and couldn't even quit the game. Alt+F4 didn't even work, I had to use the Task Manager to kill the game. This game has a ton of potential if it just simply worked.
Bugs! Bugs! And more bugs! THIS GAME IS CURRENTLY TOO BUGGY TO PLAY! First time I opened no buttons worked, then the menu glitched so I couldn't close the game. Can't alt F4 either, had to use task manager. Can't build any gadgets because after a few times clicking pieces, they get stuck in your hand with no way of dropping them. This game is beyond unplayable at the current time
I do not know how to code in Lua. If I did then this game would be amazing. I simply cannot play the game because I don't know how to even use it. I tried to use the tutorial but all it did was give me gadgets and expect me to know how they work. There is no learning curve in this game for newbies like me, it is a cliff. If the tutorial was better designed and had a guide to code in lua, I would love this game.

gud game, if you know to code in lua, this will be peak. If you don't this will be peak, as the game teaches you lua, weather it's looking at the documentation, searching up commands, or learning from other gadgets, whatever this is, if you are a programmer, or like building ♥♥♥♥, you'll probably like this
Хотел зачилиться, как и указано в описании. В первый запуск никак не мог распечатать туториал и не понимал, что делать. Оказалось баг и на следующий запуск заработало. Распечатал пример, но управление было супер неудобное, чтобы разобрать гаджет - ничего нельзя просто положить на стол. Думаю не буду больше пробовать играть.
I really think that this is an amazing concept for a program and a way to help more people learn programming. However, I wish that there were more options for programming languages like Java.
Is this game for you? A short guide. 1) If you watched the trailer videos and looked at the screenshots then this game is exactly what you think it is Thanks for reading my short guide.
