Announced in early May, Amazing Alex is Rovio’s first venture away from Angry Birds since the title became a huge hit on iOS many moons ago. Based on the company’s previous success in the mobile gaming space, we’re all itching to see how its next release turns out, but the new teaser trailer Rovio released today gives us very little to go on.

In addition to the 20-second clip, however, the Finnish firm has also announced some more details about the physics-based puzzler.

Much like Casey’s Contraptions, which was the name of the game before Rovio purchased the rights to it and began adding its own touches, Amazing Alex sees you take on the role of “a curious boy who loves to build things.” Each level will feature educations elements, according to Rovio, and requires you to construct all kinds of contraptions that use chain reactions to function.

There will be over 100 levels in total, and once you’re done with those, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own from over 35 interactive objects. You can then share your own creations with the world, and play levels designed by others. In theory, then, Amazing Alex never ends.

Amazing Alex will be arriving on iOS and Android in July, according to the trailer.
