Hello everyone, finally after a long journey we have reached the final version of the game, first I would like to thank all the players who gave a vote of confidence and purchased the game in early access and especially those who provided valuable feedback. With that, you enabled the progress of the project up to this point.
This update is more symbolic with few additions, as the game has been completed throughout its early access. And speaking of early access, below is the summary list of all the additions that were made in early access:
- Added 50 new levels.
- Added 55 new blocks.
- Added 3 new objects in the level editor.
- Added collectible stars in all levels of the main campaign.
- Added logic mode and made various improvements to it later.
- Added a step-by-step tutorial for logic mode.
- Added support for Steam Leaderboard.
- Added a set of Steam achievements.
- Added Steam trading cards.
- Added a window that shows the records and contraptions that beat those records.
- Added a Steam Workshop trending window.
- Added several improvements to the level editor.
- Added several improvements to the build mode.

Update 1.0:
In this specific update, an overall leaderboard of the best players of the main campaign has been added that shows the players who most conquered the best times, smallest complexities, smallest blocks and smallest weights.
In addition, other interactions with contraptions have been added to the main menu.
Also was added the possibility to use fullscreen without borders (borderless) in the options menu. It has been modified when completing a level so that it is no longer necessary to wait to send the score to Steam to perform other actions. And other minor issues were fixed.
Future:

Hi everyone, in this update, 5 new levels have been added with the theme of moving walls.
Support for the Steam leaderboard has also been added. Now when completing the level, the time and other information will be registered in the Steam leaderboards.
The level sandbox has been partially reworked with new structures to test your contraption. And in future updates new structures will be added as well.
Finally, a block restriction was added at some levels to improve game balance. Some blocks were created for specific levels and they can make it much easier to solve some other levels in a way that was not intended. The list of restricted blocks is shown in the level's general information window. You can still play the levels using the restricted blocks, but when you complete, they won't be registered.

Hi everyone, in this update, the step-by-step tutorial of logic mode has been added, in this tutorial you will learn the basics of logic mode and build an autonomous car to complete a small track.
For some blocks, new inputs and outputs were added to facilitate their control in logic mode. For example, the steerable block now has an extra input where you can control your entire movement instead of having to use the two normal inputs for that.
The "Operation" instruction was also added in logic mode, where it increments a configurable value in a block/axis input according to the selected operation type.
In addition, the buzzer block was added, this block emits a buzzing sound that can be triggered by a key or controlled in logic mode.
Finally, a problem that was setting the game's graphic quality to the lowest quality was fixed and the possibility of changing the graphic quality between "Low" and "High" was also added in the options menu.

Hello everyone, in this update, 10 new levels have been added with the theme of laser beams.
For some of these levels was added the laser cannon. This cannon destroys the blocks of your contraption. It was also added as an object in the level editor.
Following the theme, three new blocks were added. The first two are shield plates capable of resisting the laser cannon for some time. And the last block is a mirror capable of reflecting the beams of the green laser, it is needed in some of the new levels.
In the logic mode, the instruction “Set” was modified to accept, in addition to a constant value, the value of an IO as well. Two new instructions have been added, the “Accumulate” instruction that accumulates a value in an input over time and the “Group” instruction where it is possible to group instructions to facilitate the organization of the logic. In addition, the possibility to duplicate logic and instructions was added, as well as the possibility to copy an instruction and paste it in a different logic. More details on the additions and improvements to the logic mode can be found in the in-game manual.

Hello everyone, in this update 6 new levels have been added, where each one of them varies around a new mechanic.
Seven new blocks were added, with 3 companion blocks, 3 structural blocks and one extendable bar block.
In order to facilitate the organization, a specific category was also created for the companion blocks in the inventory window.
The new extendable bar block has more connection points and it is possible to make new connections that were not possible with the other extendable bar. In addition, connection points on the other end of the bar have also been added.
In the level editor it is now possible to add a constant rotation to the structure objects. The speed of rotation can be configured on the three axes and also which space will be used as a reference.
Also, in the level editor it is now possible to change the color alpha channel of the structure objects. By changing this value, objects can be made transparent.
Finally, a configuration has been added for the camera type blocks where it is possible to leave their activations automatic. In this mode every time you start or restart a level the camera will be activated automatically without the need to press the activation button.
Other minor problems have been solved and can be seen in the summary note.
