Piece by Piece is a small base-building game that was created by a number of developers in an unusual manner, with each developer working on the game in succession. The game is available on a name your own price model, meaning it is essentially free, but users can contribute to the developers if they wish.

The game features a base-building style similar to games like Colony Survival, and Village Fued, but unlike those games, Piece by Piece features a unique 2D artstyle. The game sports simple controls, and is easy to pick up.

Simple but engaging gameplay

The core mechanic of the game sees the player controlling a single entity in the middle of the screen. The player can rotate this entity by moving the mouse around the screen, as well as moving with the keyboard. To start with, the entity fires a projectile at regular intervals, and the player must rotate it to aim these projectiles at advancing enemies. As the game progresses, the player gains more weaponry.

Unique art style

The game is presented in a top-down 2D style and features hand-drawn art in the unique style of popular game development YouTuber, Blackthornprod. This, along with some camera tricks and other effects, gives the game a vibrant and distinctive appearance. The game also features a detailed sound design, including a range of sound effects.

Easy to learn, difficult to master

The game may have simple mechanics, but the difficulty quite quickly ramps up as the player needs to build their base, simultaneously giving them more power while making it harder to avoid being hit by enemies. The aim of the game is to get as high a score as possible, meaning there is no real ending.
