Experiment 02 will let you play as Leo, our intrepid astronaut who will create incredible machines with your help! In addition you can also explore a new map, this is still very much a work in progress and may be populated with scenery in the next experiment.
A highly requested part has also been added to the players inventory, the Tyre!
We’re also increasing the amount of blocks and cubes that you’ll be able to place within the world. We hope this will allow for more creativity and some incredible machines to be built.
Medium versions of the Hinge, Axle and Motor are also added in Experiment 02.
The other notable adjustment to this build is the ability to use the command console. You’ll be able to adjust gravity and clear all blocks in the environment.
