About Rover Builder

Construct Rovers To Overcome Level-Specific Challenges & Puzzles!
Rover Builder is a 3D engineering simulator, tasking you to create and tailor your own rovers to complete each level. The objective is clear - overcome the challenging terrain and hostile environments and get your rover to the green 'completion pad' of every level. Get a three star rating by completing the level in the quickest amount of time!

The creativity is endless..
Build amazing 3D vehicles from simple buggies to trucks, cranes and rocket powered rovers. With an intuitive and unrestricted building mode, construct the rover you need to get the job done. There's multiple expertly crafted parts available to you, the option to create intricate rovers and complex working systems are at your fingertips; steering, hydraulics, suspension systems and propulsion to name a few.

Endless amounts of fun...
Play through over 40 official developer-made levels, with hundreds more made by the community through level editor! Make your own levels and missions for others to play using all of the tools the dev team used to create the official in-game missions. With dozens of tools, features and options available in level editor - unleashing your creativity has never been easier.

Adapt, overcome, succeed!
Cross increasingly difficult terrain, embark on retrieve and return missions, or destroy obstacles and enemies in your way - each mission has its unique challenges you must face and overcome. Build a convoy of rovers to ensure your mission is completed efficiently - or jump into the community garage to see how other players completed them.

The concept is AWESOME! however I can not express how frustrating it is to change a control setting, save, then go back in to have it do whatever the frak it wants. I spent 1 hour fighting to get the controls to just stay the way I set them, tested them, saved them... to enter level 1 and have !NOTHING! I set up match anything in game. I'll come back to this later. After some updates. If I hadn't spent only a dollar I'd be very pissed!

Game is broken and buggy, no updates in a couple of years. Frustrating build system and limited variety of parts. Not worth the hassle.

Decent rover building game. It has a fair amount of official levels. There is no air, so you can't make planes or helicopters - it is focused on ground vehicles. Some things are a bit unintuitive like how to connect springs/suspension properly or axles, but with trial and error it's doable. A tutorial teaches the basics only (how to add wheels, steering, and power). It also has a level editor and a community workshop to share levels or rovers. If you have an itch about vehicle building to complete challenge levels, this is a very decent game. IMPORTANT: Undo seems to delete all custom controls, you should save whenever you modify inputs on a vehicle to avoid accidental erasure of inputs.

I got really excited about this game when I bought it. Pretty much all the reviews, both good and bad, note how complicated building can get and that is exactly why I bought this game. Unfortunately, after spending 30 minutes trying to work through the UI and tutorials and then spending an hour over-engineering basic suspension for a car, one of the settings menus wouldn't close. I couldn't exit the menu or save my craft so I just had to close the game and I probably won't be opening it up again. Some other bugs I can deal with (solar panels disappearing, misplaced UI, etc) but having a game-breaking bug 2 hours in is really not a good sign.

As reported by other players: too many bugs on the saving system, most of them on the control system. I gave up after 3 bug, luckly i spent less than 1 euro.
