Backyard Benny

Flying through an open window, Benny’s spaceship crashed on a strange new garden planet! Can he find the six parts of his ship and make it to the Beta-1 Command Base to meet his friends for blast-off??

Backyard Benny is a puzzle game and my entry for the Unity x LEGO microgame contest. It uses prefab Lego assets, including “behavior bricks” that work like the functional elements that program behaviors in the Powered-Up app.
