GearBlocks is an open-ended mechanical building sandbox. You assemble creations from more than 200 parts, adjusting their size, materials, and colors, then connect components to make them work together.
Build vehicles, engines, gearboxes, cranes, clocks, robots, and other contraptions using motors, gears, pulleys, joints, springs, and actuators. Logic components and Lua modding let you create more complex behaviors and custom tools or scenarios.
Interact with your machines, take the wheel to test vehicles, and put builds through challenge scenarios or destructive trials. Tutorials and example builds provide ways to learn, while the workshop lets you share creations and try those made by others.
Players who enjoy mechanical tinkering often praise the depth of the building systems, especially the gears, drivetrains, and range of parts, as well as the freedom to work toward their own designs. Logic features and experimenting with complex machines are also recurring draws. Some reviewers find the controls and learning process demanding, and complaints about vehicle handling and physics limitations appear alongside the praise.
