Inventioneers

About

Inventioneers lets you tinker with a cast of small helpers each with distinct traits to build wild contraptions. Players solve puzzles by assembling machines using parts earned through completed challenges. The single player mode focuses on progressing through levels while the multiplayer adds collaborative or competitive building. Each helper brings specific abilities like pulling pushing or rotating components. The game shines in its flexibility allowing bizarre solutions to problems. With dozens of parts to collect and combine creativity is the main currency. Available on multiple platforms since 2014 it maintains a dedicated following for its open-ended design. The weirdness of possible inventions often outpaces the puzzles themselves making experimentation as rewarding as progress.
