Games Like Brick Builds

Brick Builds is a place to spend a little time making something of your own. Pick out a few bricks, put them together and keep going. Build that ship you've been thinking about, give a crane a longer arm, or just see what takes shape on the mat.

Try a few things

You have 90 kinds of pieces to choose from, including familiar bricks and plates, curved panels, canopies and joints. Parts never run out, so you can keep trying things until they look right. A build doesn't have to stay the way you first imagined it. Change the colors, swap a piece or take a whole section apart. Undo and redo make it easy to try another idea, and you can save groups of pieces to use again.

Give it some movement

Add an opening canopy to a ship, fold a wing or tip the bed of a dump truck. Hinges, sliders and turntables let you adjust moving sections using the mechanism controls, with the connected pieces following along.

Find a starting point

Start on an empty mat, try one of four small guided builds, or open one of eight showcase models. The ships, dragon, helicopter, crane and other models are yours to change. Borrow a detail you like, try a different shape or take one apart to see how it's put together. Save your creations for another day. Replay your recent building steps, or hide the interface and take a look around your finished model in the softly lit studio. Made for one player with a mouse and keyboard.
