Costruttore by CeterasDragos
Welcome to Costruttore, a vehicle contraption building game, where you need to deliver food to its destination without breaking it.
Place, move and rotate your parts, connect them with beams, pistons or springs, and complete the delivery safely. Engines can power one of four channels, and powered parts react to their respective channels being powered (wheels, pistons, propellers and thrusters). Holding ctrl lets you adjust the piston's extension or the engine's power.
Post-submission bug-fix: WebGL had some crashes, modified some unity export settings as suggested by a forum thread and it seems to be better now.
Post-post-submission bug-fix: Because of a difference in how physics updated in build vs editor, I had a 1-frame wait at the beginning of the level, which caused the contraption to move every time you restarted. Removed this wait for all except the first time you load, which fixes our issue.

Edit: I played it some more, here's some more feedback:
The game (webGL) crashes occasionally on a level reload, which is quite annoying. Also, I think that sometimes on a reload the machine is not the same as when you started. e.g. some parts are moved or rotated.
When going to the next map, I'd love to see a minimap, or the ability to scout the level before building. I know level select has it, but normal play doesn't.
If it weren't for the frequent crashes, I'd probably play all the levels!
Nice graphics and audio.
And the editor controls are nicely done.
Good job :)
(I got some crashes on the web version)
I fixed the restart bug, should be better now
Anyways, I will definitely be back to play again later and wanted to write my 2-cents of praise! I think this game is purchase-worthy. All of the good ratings for this game are well-deserved!
The visuals are very nice! The big head at the end of the road was fun, and components exploding into particles looked awesome.
Good job!
