About the Game
18,490 Bricks. One Small Town to Put Back Together.
A little town is waiting to be put back together. Collect, sort, and place 18,490 bricks in a relaxing first-person tidy-up game, solo or in online co-op with up to 5 players. Turn scattered pieces into buildings, and watch your work bring the town to life.
COLLECT, SORT, AND BUILD
Find the bricks you need by their shape and color. Follow each building’s plan and place the pieces in the right spots. Watch the piles get smaller as the walls grow taller.
UNLOCK ABILITIES
Unlock helpful abilities to make the work easier. Use a magnet to collect bricks, a wheelbarrow to carry them, and scaffolding to reach higher places. Spend less time carrying and more time building.
WATCH THE TOWN CHANGE
Turn piles of bricks into a cozy little town. Walk through the streets and enjoy the buildings you’ve finished. With every building you complete, there’s more to see.
One brick at a time. Better together.

Official update history
Castle Completion, Save & Achievement Hotfix
Hotfix - v1.6.2
This hotfix focuses on several issues that could block Castle completion, achievements, and save management, alongside improvements to placement targeting and diagnostic logging.
Castle Completion Fix
Fixed an overlapping 2×1 Plum block placement that could leave players with one block remaining and no visible space to place it.
Removed a hidden 2×2 roof tile inside a 4×4 roof corner that could prevent Castle completion.
Fixed an issue where completed sections could block selection of unfinished placements, including around tower–corner connections.
Updated the Castle’s block supply, blueprint counts, and completion requirements to match the corrected layout.
Existing Castle saves update automatically.
Your existing progress is preserved, including rewards, completion times, and previously completed runs.
You do not need to start over.
Final Brick Placement Improvements
Fixed an issue that could prevent players from placing the final bricks in a tower section.
Improved placement reach when targeting difficult gaps.
Improved targeting for spaces hidden behind already placed bricks.
Added visible outlines for valid placement targets hidden behind completed sections.
Black Cat Achievement Fix
Fixed an issue where rescuing the Black Cat could leave its achievement locked when:
Autosave was disabled.
Saving failed.
In multiplayer, rescuing the Black Cat now unlocks the achievement for all players currently in the session.
Save Slot Deletion Fixes
Fixed issues that could prevent save slots from being deleted.
Fixed cases where deleted slots could not be reused correctly.
Improved save protection when a deletion cannot be completed.
Added clearer diagnostic logging to help identify save deletion failures.
Single-Player Microphone & Diagnostics
Microphone capture is now disabled in single-player mode.
Improved diagnostic logging for crashes and freezes that occur after:
Pausing the game.
Returning from sleep or suspend.
Added additional logging to help investigate these issues on Steam Deck.
When submitting in-game feedback, selecting Include Logs now also includes records from the previous game session.
Thank you for continuing to send us your reports and feedback.
If you were blocked from completing the Castle because of the final remaining block, your existing save should update automatically after installing this hotfix no restart is required.
Town Save Loading & Recovery Hotfix
Hotfix - v1.6.1
This hotfix addresses Town save loading issues affecting some older saves after Update v1.6.0, including saves that could freeze, show a black screen, display 0%, or fail to load.
We’ve added automatic save repair, new recovery tools, and additional protections to help preserve existing progress.
Town Save Loading & Automatic Repair
Added automatic repair for loose bricks with invalid positions or movement speeds.
Correctly placed bricks remain preserved.
The repair runs automatically when loading an affected Town save.
Improved protection against corrupted or invalid loose brick data preventing a save from loading.
Save Recovery
Added Recover Save options for both:
Singleplayer Town saves
Multiplayer Town saves
If a save still shows 0%, freezes, or does not load normally, you can now inspect available recovery copies and restore one directly from the save menu.
How to Recover Your Save
First, try loading your save normally. The new repair system runs automatically.
If the save still shows 0% or does not load:
Open Town → Singleplayer or Town → Multiplayer.
Select Recover Save on the affected save slot.
Review the available copies and check their date and progress.
Select Use This Copy on the version you want to restore.
Your original copies are preserved during the recovery process.
A save displaying 0% does not necessarily mean your progress is lost. Recovery depends on the remaining data available in your save files and backups.
Safer Save Backups
Improved backup handling for Town saves.
Added additional protection against failed loads overwriting existing progress.
Recovery operations preserve original copies instead of immediately replacing them.
Improved handling of backup copies when recovering older saves.
Voice Chat Optimization
Improved voice chat efficiency.
Microphone capture and audio processing now stop completely when Voice Chat is disabled.
Reduced repeated voice chat warnings during frame rate drops.
Reduced unnecessary logging related to voice chat.
If you experienced Town save loading problems after v1.6.0, please try loading your save normally first. If that does not work, use the new Recover Save option.
Thank you for your reports and patience while we worked on this hotfix.
Brick Recovery & Multiplayer Loading Hotfix
Hotfix - v1.2.1
- Fixed floating and frozen bricks in existing saves.
- Improved multiplayer loading to prevent misplaced bricks and invisible obstacles.
- Fixed brick removal range and improved removal priority for misplaced bricks.
- Added Wheelbarrow turning while stationary.
- Building Replays now only keep the current session to reduce loading times and save sizes.
- Existing saves and progress are preserved.
Thanks for your reports!
