This is a fun game to pass time with. The nifty thing about this is you can share your contraptions with others in this thread. You have to save it first, signup (easily) and get the link at the end.

Amusing. I'm working on level 10.

Here's one I made which I found entertaining: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Very entertaining indeed. This is my take on level 10 To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Again, probably too complicated for no reason.

Thanks Lagawrd, this game is awesome. Right now, I'm stuck on level 13. The only thing bad about this game is the music, which I have muted.

Same, but I figured out the trick. It's the precise details that are hard. You have to get on top of the ball, and then push it back. The difficult bit is stopping your back wheels from getting stuck between the ball and the floating bit of ground.

Not sure what number level this was, but I was stuck for a while.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

What we need is some sort of metric for deciding on the most effective designs.

What about:

#Parts x Time : Lowest Result Wins?

tp6626: 15 parts, 4.8 seconds = 72
Lagawrd: 36 parts, 3.8 seconds = 136.8
Liquid: 31 parts, 7.4 seconds = 229.4
Zedicus: 28 parts, 17.1 seconds = 478.8

Looks like I win??? Hehe!

Done a kind of conveying bridge for this one with feeder arms.

Hah, not bad. However, if the round stones where heavy, and had some friction, your little car would die.

Nevermind. I got something that works, it's not pretty, but it did the trick.

21 wasn't that hard, but now I've run out of levels. I suppose I could go back and try out some fancier designs, but my addiction is always the need to see then next level...

I've been playing this game on and off since I saw the post yesterday. I'm on the one called "Unpossible." This thing is fun!

I looked at all the contraptions people posted. It's fascinating to see all the wonderful designs people have used to solve the problems.

...more of this... please... ;-)

This was my Level 18 (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.). After I finished it and went looking at the other people's designs I saw one that only took 3 pieces. :stunned:
Noehelia
08-24-2008, 11:36 AM
Haha, I have just noticed (from viewing others' contraptions) that you can actually move the original given part. I was doing everything without moving it. And even funnier is the fact that I noticed it while I am in a level that you can not do that.

Elsien added to this post, 4 minutes and 3 seconds later...

Also if you hit 'T' -- I think it works in the free version.. it will show how many 'Ticks' it takes for your contraption to beat a level.





Elsien added to this post, 7 minutes and 16 seconds later...

Don't forget you can 'stack' rods in order to add weight -- play around with it... 120 Ticks I beat U-Turn... my record is 108 with max rods and tweaking of the positioning of the 2 balls.(It will bug out if you put TOO many, which is around 60-100 I think)





Elsien added to this post, 1 minutes and 55 seconds later...

120 tick win


Also if you visit toe forums you will see that there are plenty of challenges for free users to try to achieve... Can you beat 'Unpossible' using ONLY WATER RODS??? Or can you beat 'Handling' using ONLY UNPOWERED WHEELS? These challenges add a good amount of gameplay for the free user.
