✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's humorous concept of making furniture assembly deliberately frustrating and chaotic, especially when playing cooperatively with friends, but criticize the lack of tutorials and obtuse controls that require trial-and-error to learn. Additional complaints include poor VR multiplayer functionality with frequent glitches and desyncing issues, limited content that becomes repetitive quickly, and counterintuitive design choices like locking basic menu options behind level progression and removing the building reference image mid-assembly.
I do not recommend this game for a few reasons 1) There is no tutorial at all. You have to guess what buttons on your keyboard might help you put these random pieces of wood and metal together. Absolutely infuriating whilst trying to figure this out. (for those reading this- left shift lowers the piece, right shift raises the piece, space bar puts a piece together if the dotted lines are showing, WASD and arrows rotate on X and Y planes- good luck). 2) You actually have to win at levels to unlock a menu? and options? and sound control?? sorry? (key bindings aren't changeable after all that anyway). 3) You don't get an opportunity to look at the picture of what you're building again after you open the box. Hope you can remember what approximate shape you're going for. Once you figure all of this out or adjust your priorities (complete vs correct shape) the game is a lot of fun. Would be much more fun as multiplayer so you can all laugh at each other's terrible building. If you're playing this game for accuracy or single player- I would think otherwise unless you're okay with the above cons. I also didn't play in VR. I'm not sure that VR would have made any difference to game play. …4 found this helpful
Looked fun but unplayable in VR with online multiplayer. They join my game and they glitch fight with my left hand "yellow selection color". I join their game it's just fine. If you can join. Joining is impossible. It eventually desynced, glitched and I could no longer see the table they were holding. Tried rejoining but that was impossible and their steam invites stopped coming in even when they sent it. No users appeared in the friends list.
this game is an fcking NIGHTMARE. nothing is going together right, everything is misaligned, theres a piece where i have no idea where goes. 10/10 you should buy it. great game
I love this game. I played it with my brother when we we're younger. It gave us many laughs and also screams, seeing as we got very mad about this IKEA furniture simulation. Because we're swedish we often assemble IKEA furniture and this is a nightmare scenario of that.
This is a unique little game which makes building furniture so much more complicated and hilarious. Unfortunately… that’s really all there is to it. I got bored of the concept pretty fast. It’s fun with a friend, but it gets old quick.
