Build My House
OuazGamesBuild My House is a hyper-casual 3D runner from Ouaz Games where every level pays for a house on a small island. You run along a track over the sea, grab stacks of cash and pieces of work gear, and keep away from the spinning saws. At the end of the run you do a short job, and the money goes into the house.
How a run works
The track is lined with cash and with the tools for that level’s job: hard hats, overalls, chainsaws. Each one you pick up fills the bar over your head, from Start up to Advanced. Running through a gate changes your outfit, so on a good run a guy in his underwear turns into a builder with a hard hat and a tool belt before he reaches the end.
The hazards are red saw blades sliding along rails across the track, and spiked pillars standing inside some of the gates. Steer around them. A saw ends the run on the spot.
The jobs at the end of each level
The run is only half of a level. After it you’re dropped into a quick task for the job you picked up: cutting down a tree with a chainsaw, sawing a wooden beam, putting up the frame of the house. You hold to work and let go to stop. There are 30 levels, and the builder and the lumberjack aren’t the only jobs you’ll see. Chefs, firefighters and doctors show up along the way too.
Where the money goes
Each finished level moves the house forward one step. On level 1 it’s a bare patch of grass behind a fence. A couple of levels later there’s a wooden deck with steps, then the posts for the walls. Some levels end with a Jackpot banner over the plot. Watching the place fill in is the real reason to keep going, because the runs themselves only last a minute or so.
What happens when you hit a saw
A crash brings up two buttons. Revive plays a short video ad and puts you back on the track. Restart sends you to the start of the level. The first levels are easy, which is good for younger players and a bit slow if you’ve played a lot of runners already, so expect to breeze through the opening.
Keyboard, mouse and touch
On a computer, steer with A and D or the left and right arrow keys, or drag with the mouse. Hold Space or Enter during the jobs, and press them to hit the buttons on screen. On a phone or tablet, drag your finger to steer and hold the screen to work.
