The Core Loop in One Paragraph
Take a construction job, build your way through it — grab physics objects as makeshift materials and fasten them with the Nail Gun — and reach the objective without your crew dying. Each of the three named jobs layers on challenges: a Time Trial, a zero-death run, a Master Builder Mode replay and hidden objectives like delivering an egg to its nest. Cosmetics for your Bean unlock along the way.
Gather materials, build pathways, survive hazards and earn certifications with your crew.
