Fantastic Contraption - cool flash game
I found a cool flash game called Fantastic Contraption.. it's a physics based puzzle game in which you build contraptions to solve the levels.
The goal is quite simple - get the pink object (comes in different shapes) into the pink area, using only a few tools such as sticks and balls. However, you can build quite a few cool things using these and some of the later levels get quite hard. They can be solved in several ways each and there are lots of creative solutions out there. You can also save your solution to a level and show it to others, which is very cool. Here are some of my solutions - Mission to Mars level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=124727 A beta level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=131088 Stairs level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=125574 Handling level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=141750 Back and Forth level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=150899 Unpossible (last level) - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=160937 Down Under level - http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=162200 |

It reminded me of that game at first but it's actually quite different.

You guys talking about The Incredible Machine? (aka TIM) I loved that game
 Fantastic Contraption was quite tricky, I only got through a few levels before finding it too tough to bother continuing... |

This game is a right pain. It's so annoying when you have nearly all of the wheel in, but just a tip of it is outside the box. Like Molokov, I gave up.

Yeah, it is a bit of a pain and becomes really frustrating after a while.

Don't give up so easily
 The harder stages are the ones that are fun to solve, it feels great after you finally nail it, especially if you did it in a cool way. And you can then show the solution to other people, like post it here in this thread. I was hoping someone would play it and post some solutions here, I love watching alternate solutions. |

It originally worked a lot smoother than that but I broke it. Edit: Also, I think my method on handling is so much more elegant that any of yours: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=245383 'nother edit: Hehehe, I had some fun with Back and Forth. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=245918 Last edited by RabidZombie; 08/05/2008 at 01:27 pm. |

This is an awesome little game. I fiddled with it a bit until I got stuck on one and gave up (for today). None of my contraptions look as cool as most of you guys'. I basically throw simple ones together and hope for the best. ^^;
Thanks for sharing the link! ^_^
