VELONE is a creative automation game, inspired by the classic Opus Magnum. On the mysterious planet VELONE, aliens have tasked you with saving their dying home. A collision with an asteroid has disrupted the entire energy supply. Now it is your job to build and program hydraulic mechanisms that create and place valuable Velone stones, restoring power to a civilization in peril.

Use logical thinking to solve difficult mechanical puzzles and come up with new and creative ways to program the Velone stones and beat the level. Enjoy the endorphin rush when your constructs execute your plan flawlessly and everything slots into place in one fluid series of motions. Each solved level rewards you with new information about the planet Velone, its climate, population, technology, society and more. 

Main features:

VELONE is slated for release on PC in 2022. The game can now be wishlisted on Steam. Assets can be found here.
