Fantastic Contraption is a 2016 virtual reality video game for the HTC Vive in which players construct machines from building materials to meet challenges. It was released at the HTC Vive's launch on April 5, 2016.
Gameplay
Players use the HTC Vive's motion controls to construct machines from building materials in order to meet challenges.[1]
Development
The game was developed by Northway Games. The developers spent extra time reimagining how in-game controls, such as a volume slider, should work in virtual reality, and concluded to show a physical speaker with a volume knob as an interaction that players could readily intuit. Northway used a virtual helmet to represent a "third reality" in which the player could share creations and adjust in-game settings.[1] Northway released Fantastic Contraption at the HTC Vive's launch on April 5, 2016.[2]
Fantastic Contraption was originally released in 2008 as a 2D, free-to-play Flash game before it was rebuilt for virtual reality.[3][4][5]
Reception
The Gizmodo Australia reviewer wrote that Fantastic Contraption was easily his favorite launch title, as he found none of the other titles interesting.[6] Polygon wrote that the development team's "mixed reality" video stream (which shows the player within the virtual reality environment) made the medium "social".[7]
