From purely aesthetic creations, such as a market stand or music box, up to functional physics-based puzzles like building a crane or gyrocopter - each diorama offers a variety of construction spots with the freedom of intuitive brick-by-brick building. In each spot you are given a set of bricks and it’s up to you to figure out a unique build that will work. On top of specific puzzles and quests, there are additional builds in the amusement park so you can customize the rides to make them your own!

Your grandfather, a genius inventor, has called you for help! His beloved amusement park is about to close as the mayor is threatening to shut everything down and seize the land if the necessary repairs aren’t made to bring it up to code. With the help of your powerful little robot buddy, you can restore it using a mysterious device based on alien technology.

As a source of power, the device needs happiness crystals, which you can harvest by making people happy and solving their problems. With the aid of a portal, travel to different locations all around the world to help people and collect their happiness crystals. Strap in for the ultimate building adventure and save your grandfather’s amusement park!

Amazing concept, but the way the brick height change, brick duplication, general camera controls are all handled the game is awful. Sometimes placing a small brick is far too frustrating.

Nice OT!

Game looks really beautiful and interesting.

Seems one of those games that is perfect to take a break from the most common genres.

Put in some time today and enjoyed it. The building mechanics are a bit weird but using the shadows to line things up makes it manageable. I made a few cool things but I’ll have to wait until I am at my desk before posting.

This is goin to be a nice chill game to play during the evenings.

All right, here are a few of my designs for the beginning puzzles. I haven't touched Legos in probably 10 years and it brought back a lot of warm fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. I'll probably be taking my time with this game as I find the building portion to be really fun, despite the obvious navigation shortcomings.





I had a cool canopy for the bridge in the 3rd picture but the robot's antenna wouldn't allow for it.

Looks pretty unique, I think my other half will love this :)

When we finish as dusk falls I might treat her to this :D
