Fantastic Contraption

+Simple Puzzle Game +Creative +Fun to see how others complete the puzzles -Costly -No punishment for cheating 3/5 Good puzzle game that's fun to watch other people play. But way too easy due to being able to cheat your way to victory without the game stopping you.

If you use Windows Mixed Reality, be cautious in buying this! Be sure to test it out within 14 days. I could not get this game to work with my Windows Mixed Reality controllers at all. The controllers annoyingly buzzed all the time, the space didn't scale properly and things moved AWAY when I tried to pick them up or touch them. The controllers jumped around in the space and nothing worked right. Exiting the game my controllers still were messed up. Unfortunately I spent 20 days working on it and didn't realize refunds must be within 14 days, so I am stuck with a broken game. Maybe someday it will be updated to fix this issue, but I don't believe I am the only one.

it would be nice if they have a good good guide in the start of the game because it dont tell you what to do.

Games like this exemplify why Steam's binary "yes/no" system is insufficient. Fantastic Contraption VR is juuuuuust barely on the no side of the fence. On one hand, I think Fantastic Contraption VR has a lot of potential, and is, in theory, a really cool game. On the other, there are just so many failures in execution that it is only a hollow shell of what it could be. The biggest problem is simply a lack of tools. You're able to grab parts, move parts, join parts, and delete parts. That's pretty much it. While it's true that you can (in theory) build anything allowable within the confines of the game rules with just these functions, the problem is that, when you can only add one part at a time, contraptions that consists of hundreds of parts take painfully long to build, and contraptions that require any sort of precision are nearly impossible. If this game had a few more of the following features, I would recommend it in a heartbeat. -Allow selecting all parts in an area and moving them while leaving the rest of the parts attached to them alone. (Basically, a middle ground between moving a single part and moving everything with the grip) -Implement [i]some[/i] way of aligning parts. For example: Allow snapping parts to a grid. Or, add a function that duplicates a part and places the copy parallel to the original. (Or both!) -Implement a way to duplicate a selected group of parts. -Implement a way to save a selected group of parts as a sub-assembly, and a way to grab copies of that sub-assembly at any time and in any level.

When playing with Samsung HMD Odyssey+ the haptics are broken - the controllers vibrate nearly constantly, no matter what is happening. It was so annoying as to make the game unplayable, and I had to ask for a refund.

Building is too luck based. Most of the time is spent on minor adjustments that can change direction of your contraption dramatically. It doesn't matter what you build, as long as you move a thing an inch and launch it again, move a thing an inch and launch it again....... - Not enough different parts. Building supports for bigger contraptions is a pain. Compared to any other builder this somehow seems random as minor angle differences effect everything so drastically and there's no snapping of parts to make anything straight. + Good idea. Probably best VR builder game (currently, not that much competition).
