Build machines together in the Maker Lab
The co-op draw here is simple: you and up to 8 co-op friends share one building space and make something ridiculous. Place ramps, balls, pulleys, scissors, ropes, and hungry critters, then run the physics and watch what breaks.
You drop in an extra conveyor, your friend moves the basket one square left, and a cat gets fed instead of flattened. There is no timer pushing you along, so sessions stay loose and chatty. It suits an evening where the point is messing around together, not winning.
Hundreds of puzzles for chain-reaction tinkerers
When you want structure, there are over 200 official puzzles and over 1,000 user-made puzzles in the Workshop. Each gives you a half-finished setup and a small goal: pop a balloon, move a ball, feed an animal.
You fill the missing pieces and tune them until cause leads to effect. Solutions stay open, so a clumsy fix often works as well as a neat one. The look is colorful, cartoony, and family friendly, with characters that interact in amusing ways. You can also build your own puzzles and share them, or script small games with the built-in JavaScript editor.
Good to know?
Can you play it with co-op friends online?
Yes. Online play supports up to 8 players building contraptions together in the Maker Lab. It is a shared sandbox for inventing machines, not a campaign you clear side by side.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. The puzzles, sandbox building, level editor, and Workshop levels all work as a single-player puzzle game when nobody else is around.
What do you actually make?
Rube Goldberg-style chains from parts like gears, balls, ropes, and critters. Players build practical solvers, giant endless machines, and joke builds like a Cheese Factory, then share them through the Workshop.
