Pyramid Builders

Pyramid Builders is a first-person construction game that begins with clay and turns it into monuments. Dig at the pit, mould the material into bricks, let them dry and carry them to the structure. You can perform the work yourself, then hire workers and add equipment to develop the building process.

Understand a brick's full journey

Use WASD or the arrow keys to move and the mouse to look. Shift runs and Space jumps. Hold the left mouse button for the documented digging, taking and laying actions. Follow a small amount of clay through the pit, moulding stage, drying rack and placement before trying to expand everything at once.

Notice where material waits between stages. Having more clay does not help immediately if you are still learning how to move a dry brick to the monument. A complete small delivery makes each workplace's role easier to recognise.

Hire help for the work you need done

The available crew types are diggers, porters, moulders, brick carriers and masons. Mud huts house workers. The supplier lists sixteen upgrades and buildings, a brick trolley and catapults for sending bricks upward. Read what an available purchase changes before choosing it, especially when one stage of the process is holding up another.

Open the shop with 1–5 or B. Q sounds the rally horn, E uses the brick trolley and G opens the Pharaoh's chest. M controls sound and Esc pauses. The phone interface uses its own movement and looking controls, so follow the buttons presented on the screen.

Continue through the game's fictional construction cycle

A day and night cycle, random events and an Alien Pact are part of the game's playful setting. The pact brings alien help to the night shift; this is a game mechanic rather than a historical explanation of pyramid construction. The published overview describes seven monuments followed by a new cycle at double pay, with automatic progress saving.

Keep the next goal practical: prepare a batch of bricks, improve a slow stage or inspect the current order. For another first-person resource loop, Eggcavation trades construction for digging through a giant egg and selling the collected shards.
