The designing and building aspect of the game looks very similar to how Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts handled their mechanics. These vehicles can be anything from simple cars to futuristic spacecraft. TerraTech’s immensely satisfying gameplay loop involves players searching for loot and gathering parts to design their own customized vehicles. To achieve this title, you’ll need to establish an efficient mining empire and to do so, you’ll first need to clear the land and build a mechanized workforce. Build and exploitĪs we mentioned before, the goal of TerraTech is to become the planet’s ultimate prospector. We have all enjoyed playing with our homemade skee ball game! It’s interesting enough for big kids but easy enough for preschoolers.A way to describe TerraTech’s unique gameplay would be “ Lego meets No Man’s Sky.” This creative mix of sandbox with adventure elements lets you create fantastic vehicles to explore planets alone or with friends, as you scavenge for new parts and mine resources to become a successful prospector. We put a plastic container under the game to catch the marbles. We also taped a piece of cardboard to the back of the game to keep stray marbles contained. We thought it would be too complicated to make the marbles roll back to the start, but this works really well! He also covered the goal area with red duct tape, and we added points to the goals. Jordan added a piece of cardboard between the edge of the jump and the side of the computer box to make a place for “misses” to land. We decided to leave it as two pieces because it is easier to store that way. The goal area is not attached to the ramp – it is just sitting there overlapping with the computer box. The finished product! The marbles “jump” off the top of the ramp, just like real skee ball! So we ended up just going with holes in the goal area. However, the paper towel rolls ended up being too difficult to aim for, and we wanted this game to be fun for the whole family – even our 4 year old. The computer box didn’t create a long enough ramp space by itself, so they made some cardboard supports and extended the ramp.Īidan came up for the design for the backboard/goal/whatever you want to call it! At first, we were planning to use paper towel rolls to make it like real skee ball, and Jordan started by cutting holes in the cardboard with a utility knife. They used cereal box cardboard for the ramp. The guys started by cutting the ramp shape out of the computer box. Extra corrugated cardboard, depending on the size of your box.Over the July 4th weekend, they worked together to turn a computer box into this awesome skee ball game! We used marbles for the balls. After we built our jump for hot wheels cars out of a diaper box, my husband had the idea to use the same basic design to make a homemade skee ball game! Aidan (turning 10 this month) thought that was a great idea.
