The game world is 3D and built from blocks, ala ''Minecraft'' (which itself was inspired by an earlier game from Zachtronics named ''Infiniminer''). The blocks you can use in your factory include conveyors, welders, pushers, sensors, rotators, lifters and so on. Lots of ways to manipulate the blocks you're working with.

The lightweight story and mechanism design aspect of the gameplay draws a lot of comparisons to ''VideoGame/SpaceChem'' (also by the same developer), though it's a good deal easier.
