Fantastic Contraption

Fantastic Contraption is a surreal building game for virtual reality. You make life-sized machines from spinning wheels and stretchable rods, then send them across a floating island to guide a squishy purple ball to a goal. The goal may be in the distance, above you or across a gap, and puzzles have no single right solution.

Build and solve

The game has 50 official levels, ranging from straightforward challenges to difficult puzzles. You can build vehicles, catapults, conveyor belts, walking creatures or simple structures that use gravity. Solutions can be carefully designed or improvised from a rattling pile of parts.

You build with your hands: pick up wheels and stretch rods to make them longer. You can also play with the physics, juggle pieces and throw darts. The game is designed for room-scale VR, with life-sized contraptions that can grow as tall as you can reach and as big as horses.

The skybound world

Explore a surreal archipelago in the sky and meet Neko, a photosynthesizing cat who serves as your toolbox. Neko is a green, blimp-like cat whose tails and head pins can be pulled off and grow back. The landscape includes grass and singing sky whales.

Create and share

You can load contraptions made by friends and other players, and create your own puzzles in the level editor to share with friends and the community. The game has 3D audio and musical instruments that you build yourself; it has no music.

Fantastic Contraption is a VR evolution of Colin Northway's 2008 2D browser game, but this version is different.
