A hero thing, a monster thing, a robo thing… in Mini Maker, you can make any ‘thing’! Use an arsenal of plastic limbs, wonky tools, rainbow stickers and googly eyes to assemble creations, please demanding clients, and laugh in the face of perfectionism. Make a thing! Glue mannequin limbs to robo-parts. Draw on a smiley face. Slap on a few stick-on tattoos to finish it off. Oh, did we mention there's NO Undo button? Time to roll with the punches! Make a living! Fulfill wacky client requests however you can. From six-armed action figures, to fancy meals served from a toilet seat - any request (Storyline via IGDB)
