About
Welcome to Dumbville’s least reputable construction company! Safety violations are likely, survival is optional, and your co-workers are the real occupational hazard. Dumb Ways to Build is a chaotic physics-based cooperative game filled with deadly construction Jobs that no sane crew would touch. Rally your friends, and put their building skills (and friendships) to the ultimate test, facing both intentional and unintentional sabotage along the way. Players wield construction tools to build, panic and improvise their way out of chaotic, and often fatal, situations. Whether tackling the perilous jobsite with friends in up to four-player online cooperative play, or braving it alone in Solo Play, there really are so many Dumb Ways to Die.
Key Features
- D.I.Y. Platforming
- Grab, rotate, and throw anything not bolted down to use as makeshift building materials. Fire your trusty nail gun to staple together sketchy bridges, ramps, and structures. You and your crew must work together to build your own platforms, solve deadly challenges and escape the jobsite. Remember: the real tools for the job are the friends we bring along the way… Right?
- Chaotic Four-Player Online Cooperative and Solo Play
- Teamwork makes the Beans work… but in Dumbville, it usually just gets everyone killed. Gather a team of up to four friends to brave the challenges ahead in four-player online cooperative play, or face the chaos alone in solo play!
- Experiment with a physics-based arsenal full of construction tools, wacky objects, and makeshift building materials that can either help or completely derail your crew. Will you take a sledgehammer to that steel beam, or “accidentally” launch your buddy off a roof? The choice is yours!
- Utilize proximity chat to coordinate your crew’s efforts or just listen to the ensuing carnage as you all discover the many Dumb Ways to Die. If at first you don’t succeed, blame your friends.
- Tackle Deadly Crisis Jobs
- Take on distinctly dangerous Crisis Jobs, each requiring teamwork and inventive tool usage! Dive headfirst into hazard-filled maps, each one filled with unique secrets and challenges. Dedicated builders can complete Certifications that unlock new and wacky cosmetics, as well as Master Builder modes.
- Enjoy replaying your favorite jobsites as a Master Builder, with harder variants of each level that introduce more challenges, unexpected twists and ways for things to go horribly, horribly wrong.
- Bean Customization
- Stand out on the job site with a truckload of unique, unlockable cosmetics to personalize your Bean.
- So Many Dumb Ways to Die!
- Jump into the living world of Dumb Ways to Die, where workplace accidents, bad decisions and hilarious consequences are just another day on the job.
