Build your own adventure

These include blocks, which can serve as walls for buildings and vehicle chassis; mechanical parts, which include interactive elements such as connectors, engines, thrusters, triggers, etc.; and consumables, which the player can use for various purposes. Using these elements, the player can create anything, from a jet-propelled car to a rotating house, and even make set traps using sensor triggers.

Modes of play
