About the Game

"First Step" is a short demo for the upcoming "Dropkick Navvy", designed to help us fine-tune the fun.



Do you dig crafting games like Minecraft, Astroneer, and Forager? How about goofy physics sims like Human: Fall Flat or Moving Out?

We love both — so we smushed em together!





Go ham on rocks and trees with slapdash tools you made yourself, then pile ‘em into your little wicker basket and wobble back to your workbench in charmingly precarious fashion.

Or just dropkick them suckers clear across the map. Ain't nobody got time for all that.


  • Roam the cosmos and knock down everything in your path to turn them into stuff!
  • Can’t hold all the stuff? Try throwing it or using a basket or something!


  • Craft some tools! And then craft some more tools! And keep crafting until you run out!
  • Then use those tools to help you gather more stuff to craft even more tools. Oh, and workbenches too!


  • Don’t forget the Growth Potions. Craft some of those and throw them at the World Tree!
  • Watch the World Tree grow taller! So tall that you might need a little boost to reach its branches!


  • Expand, expand, expand, until you can’t expand anymore!
  • New lands, new materials, new puzzles just waiting to be revealed!
