This is one of the best examples of interactions in VR, everything feels like it is supposed to and it's so intuitive. You basically create a domino machine with lots of little parts and pieces to hit a target or move a ball to a target spot, it sounds simple but there's endless ways to solve the puzzles and once you're done you can just create even cooler machines in sandbox mode. Feels great, looks great, love it! Beyond the puzzles there's also a hint of a story and a cool world beyond the house you are in.

This is a great Rube Goldberg game. I'm halfway through the 60 levels with about 2.5 hours in the game. The physics is very realistic, and the objects you hold actually collide with everything else, unlike most VR games. Movement is done by physically moving in your play space or by gripping and pulling yourself along. You can also pull yourself higher and lower, which you need to do because some puzzles are high up. You use different tools, like a grabber, clone tool, & vaccuum. You have the ability to freeze blocks too. The tutorial could have explained freezing better. It took me a little while to figure it out. I definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes these types of games or puzzles. Edit: 5 hours in, I'm at puzzle 48 of 60. They've gotten harder, but some are occasionally too easy. The game gives you an overabundance of pieces to work with. Maybe, it could have difficulty levels with harder modes giving you fewer. Edit 2: It took me about 7.5 hours to beat it. There...

If you like chain reaction stuff, then you'll love this game. I love Rube Goldberg machines and this game allows you to create contraptions without the hassle of real life. The tutorial is short and simple, showing how easy it is to get started. The controls aren't complicated, with one hand allowing the placements/control of objects, while the other holds your toolbox and undo/start button. It uses a drag and move mechanic to move around the world. For puzzle mode, you start out with simple easy puzzles that have predefined block placements. As you gradually progress, it grows longer and allows more open ended solution for you to figure out. Along the way new blocks/objects are introduced. As of writing, I have reached up to level 20 in about 30 minutes, progressing for dominos to using balls. As for sandbox, I haven't spent too much time on this mode but as the name implies, you have full control of all types of blocks and room space. The creativity can be seen in the screenshots/...

Some mysterious Gadgets fill the main Puzzle area. What secrets will be uncovered as we progress thru the Puzzles? The interactions with the items, and the feedback to the player (visual & audio), alongside the excellent soundtrack, create a calming atmosphere and a pleasing world to play in. There are many different gadgets to work with, to combine in all sorts of ways, to make an interesting machine, that can be art or cause destruction. It is nice that there are some examples to Load, it helps to get the creative juices flowing, or use em as a good starting point to test ideas and build off of. Definitely recommend Gadgeteer, the creative in you will be happy you picked this up!

Was expecting more intricate gadgets but it currently consists of different sized domino style blocks , a few wood pieces with grooves for the ball to run along, a couple of turns , a hinge, see-saw levers etc.. not a great deal but it is early days. The environment is a simple office space. looking forward to testing out a more gadget pieces. and dynamic assets such as magnets, string , rubber bands , cloth dynamics , fluids etc.. Interface is minimal and easy to learn.

Super simple or as complicated as you want it to be... there are plenty of other reviews that go into more detail about the game play. Ill only say that almost everything works great, there are little bugs, but non game breaking. I love the game, i havent finished it, (im at around lvl50 as i write the review ~4hrs in) and im already dreading finishing it because i want MORE. Super recommended!!!

10/10 A+ This game is the most fun I've had in VR so far. Completed the puzzle mode in 2 sessions, and would recommend it to anyone. Considering this game is in alpha, I can't wait to see what else they bring to Gadgeteer! Good job devs!

Do you like puzzles? Do you love science and engineering? Are you fascinated with Rube Goldberg machines and you always wanted to experiment with them and build gigantic Ruberg machines at home but couldn't do so due to lack of space? Do you dream of taking part in annual Rube Goldberg machine-building contests in places such as University of California, MIT, Carnegie Science Centre or The Science Olympiad? Well, your dream has come true, because thanks to modern VR technology and passionate and committed developers Metanaut's two years' worth of hard work, it's finally possible to build simple or complex machines of this kind at the comfort of your own home in Gadgeteer. The graphics is soothing, calming, appropriate and beautiful and so is the background music, so much so that I'm planning on buying the soundtracks in near future to use as a sleeping aid. There's a short yet polished and interactive tutorial that explains the mechanics, and it's designed in such a way that you will ...

This game is one of the best VR early access games out right now. I can't wait to see what the end product will look like.

Great idea, brilliantly executed. Also properly priced. Some minor issues have been noted and will hopefully be addressed. VR lovers need more games of this quality.
