![]() As expected, it starts off incredibly easy as it introduces more types of objects and later gains some real difficulty. It has lasers, dynamite, rocket ships, balloons, timed bombs, you name it. However, to power that conveyor belt you might need another series of events, like another conveyor belt to drop something onto a switch and so on. It’s bonkers most of the time, like powering up a conveyor belt to move a bowling ball, which then falls off onto some scissors, which cuts a rope to let a balloon fly away. Obviously with improved graphics and physics to make it more suitable for a modern audience.ĭespite the childish looks, it’s actually a rather clever (and completely silly) puzzle game about building a machine to fit a particular task, so think of it like making lots of a Rube Goldberg machines. The game is actually made by some of the original team behind the first Incredible Machine game from the ‘90’s, which is why it’s essentially a spiritual successor. Software description provided by the publisher.YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view. The more you progress through the game, the more complex the new puzzles become. You will need to ignite the engine of the rocket, which will pull the rope, which will trigger the laser gun, which will ultimately eliminate the monster. For example: in order to shoot the monster with a laser, you might have to connect a rope to the trigger, the other end to a rocket. The solution is achieved through chain reactions, Rube Goldberg style. Other ways include cutting a rope holding a heavy object, which will smash the monster pulling a rope, connected to a laser gun igniting the engine of a rocket with a lighter in which the monster is in, etc. The simplest way is if the monster is pushed off the edge of a platform and falls off the screen. It all depends on what objects are you presented with. There dozens of ways you can rid the levels of the monsters. Likewise in order for the laser gun to fire a laser, the trigger must be connected with a rope, to a moving object, like a car. For example in order for the conveyor belt to turn, it must be connected to an active engine, using a belt. Some gadgets work on their own, while other gadgets must be connected together to function. Some of the gadgets are activated by igniting them, other by touching, pushing or pulling them. If your solution is not correct, you can pause the contraption and fiddle with the objects again. If you did everything correctly the chain reaction will wipe out all monsters and you will progress to the next level. Once you are done, you set things in motion (unfreeze time) by pressing the Play button and watch things play out. During this time you can move things around, connect things, flip things, in order to make the chain reaction work. ![]() When the level starts “time is frozen”, gravity doesn’t affect the objects and all machines or gadgets are not running. You do this, by repositioning, flipping, or connecting the different objects. The catch is that the contraption is broken - some objects are not in the right place. The objects form a “contraption” which are placed in such a way, which creates a chain reaction that will wipe out all monsters. This can be achieved in different ways.The objects are affected by the laws of physics and play a key part in solving the puzzle. On every level there are a number of objects and monsters.The goal is to rid the level of the monsters. + Complete the levels in multiple ways.get as bonkers and creative as you like. + Use a plethora of goofy gadgets from scissors to washing-line pegs. ![]() + Create an unlimited number of your own levels and challenge a friend to try to beat it. + Solve over 100 wacky puzzles across 5 different worlds. Use camels as trampolines, champagne bottles as cannons, balloons to lift objects, fireworks wheels to drive conveyor belts, magnets to attract metal objects, and many more gadgets to solve the puzzles and clear the levels. How many steps does it take to change a light bulb? If your answer is 10 or more, then you are ready for "Contraptions" - a game where the goal is to fix whacky contraptions that perform simple tasks in indirect and convoluted ways, Rube Goldberg style.
