About Making it Home
Making it Home is a vehicle building game. In the story mode you're a ladybug, with family issues, on a journey home. Put your engineering and creativity skills to the test as you combine simple elements into a complex contraption. Once you’ve built it, jump around your vehicle to keep it moving and defend it from an onslaught of cherry bombs, autonomous drones and carrots - or just relax and build your dream machine in the cozy mode!
Design and engineer your vehicle. What you build, and where, matters. Discover new components and your favourite combinations the more you play.
Take part in the daily, weekly and monthly design challenges with a limited set of components, or let your creativity run wild in the sandbox mode!
In the Story mode pick your route across the USA, getting to know quirky animal friends (and foes) along the way. Explore the interactive narrative while the classic country sound track keeps you in the mood for a road trip. The entire story mode is playable in Cozy mode without hazards or enemies, for when you just feel like chilling out on the drive home.
Rethink all your vehicle designs and play the entire campaign co-op with up to 3 friends locally or on-line with Steam Remote Play Together.
Share your vehicle designs and discover new ways to play with full Steam Workshop support.

Making it Home, developed and published by Pill Bug Interactive, is a charming and inventive indie adventure that blends physics-driven construction, hands-on platforming, and a gentle narrative into a cohesive and emotionally grounded experience. At its heart, the game is about creativity and perseverance: you play as a determined little ladybug trying to make it back home for an important family moment, and the journey becomes a whimsical road trip defined as much by problem-solving as by personality. Rather than leaning on traditional level-based progression, the game encourages experimentation, failure, and improvisation, turning every obstacle into an opportunity to rethink how you build and move through the world. The centerpiece of Making it Home is its flexible vehicle-building system, which allows players to assemble custom contraptions from a wide range of parts such as wheels, sails, fans, balloons, engines, and assorted structural components. These parts interact through a lively physics system, meaning even small changes in placement or balance can dramatically alter how a vehicle behaves. Vehicles can roll, fly, float, or wobble their way forward, often in delightful…2 found this helpful

Only a couple of hours in but I'm really enjoying it! Not sure I would pay full price but 90% off is a steal! If you like platforming and building/management games you should definitely pick this up while it's on sale.1 found this helpful
Pretty janky
Quite fun and very underrated. Only issues is that there hasn't been much major updates and it can get very repetitive without multiplayer.
A very unique platforming game, with a difference. The performer is your vehicle and you need to power it with a wide range of contraptions as you run, bounce and jump around and even fall triggering different methods of momentum to move the vehicle as you race to get home, all the while upgrading it and trying to avoid or defend against Unusual obstacles that try to slow you down. with its unique style and fun animations, I have never played anything like this and I grew up on platformers. this game takes your imagination and creativity and turns it into a fun and interesting new experience ive never encountered in gaming. Fun, that anyone of all ages can enjoy. I love it.
