Thumbs up Fantastic Contraption

I posted about the original so long ago that I can't find it in the search... maybe it was archived?

Either way I know the physics game lovers will love this game. Give it a shot... I am completely addicted. Even after completing all levels I go back and try them with different machines etc.

Basically you build a machine within the building zone to get the red object into the goal area.

Example of how many billions of ways you can do one level:



I admit... I am not nearly as good as some of these...

I love how in that video most of the guys built these ridiculously complicated trebuchets to solve the Down Under puzzle, and one guy just uses the equivalent of a triangle and a rope.

I know right? That's the beauty of it. Some users challenge themselves to use the least amount of items, or no power, or whatever- others must be engineers or something... they build the most intricate and ridiculously awesome machines to gently guid the goal item to the goal area.

There was an game back in the 386, 486 days called the incredible machine or something that was like this. You had all kind of tools, balloons or rockets to accomplish certain goals.

It was an awsome game.

Mice in cages, trampolines, monkies on exercise bikes. Some of those puzzles were diabolical.

My favorite one was where you had to bounce the bowling ball from the bottom to the top using 5 trampolines.

They're monopoles. Blue repels blue, red repels red, blue attracts red, and red attracts blue. (Click the red magnet next to the blue magnet to switch to red).

Why did I think this had something to do with birth control?
