Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game


Extremely addicting.

 

[Borisbbadd]

Thats all I need, another time waster ( I really should go mow the lawn ).

 

[RiverSwillBeer]

Ohhhhh ... That was awesome ... :rockin:

 

[Yuri_Rage]

A few of my favorite solutions (spoilers!):

Down Under Solution

Tube Solution

Back and Forth Solution

Unpossible Solution

 

[Rick_R]

I do like this one. I don't have time to like this one, but I do like this one. Thanks for the link.

[Rick500]

Thanks for getting me addicted to this game.

Spoiler... but check out my solution to "Four Balls"... I was pretty pleased with myself.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

SWMBO is not happy that you found this game for me...

But thanks!

But thanks!

Mine either. This is really addicting. Looking at other peoples' solutions is fun. It shows there are many ways to skin a cat.

This one is my favorite solution so far (there's tons more on Youtube). jSmCpiqg2dw

PS: Is there any way to link to a Youtube video without the preview popping up?

:rockin: Made ya learn something huh.:fro:

 

[g_rath]

[beerthirty]

Yuri, your solutions are amazing. What type of government job do you hold? Think Tank Guru? I would say simply amazing but I don't see the simplicity. Once again my hat is off to you.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Thanks, beerthirty! I'm fascinated by this game, but I can't quite bring myself to pay for it. Instead, I've been futzing with making simpler solutions to the free puzzles. For example (another spoiler). Another challenge is to see how many puzzles you can solve with one (or zero) wheels.

Yuri:

It's worth the ten bucks for the "unlocked" version. Here's one of my favorite solutions: This is for U-Turn, the level after unpossible:

Teh Hinge

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Nice. I thought U-Turn was rather easy after some of the others. Try solving "The Wall" (one of the easier levels) with one wheel. Took me a while to get that one.

 

[jds]

Still working on a one-wheel version of "The Wall".

Here's my solution to back and forth. I thought this was the hardest one.

[Freezeblade]

I saw someone on youtube that did "handling" with 3 pieces

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSmCpiqg2dw]YouTube - Fantastic Contraption - Handling[/ame] totally nuts.

 

[jds]

Got it! One-wheel solution to The Wall.

[Yuri_Rage]

jds - Nice job on Back and Forth!

Here's Handling with 4 pieces.

And my one wheel solution to The Wall.

 

[Tenchiro]

I just finished back and forth, this is an awesome game. Here is my final solution.

Here's my handling solution. Three wheels and four rods.

Here's my 4 balls solution. A bit wonky, but it works.

[Dr_Deathweed]

Damn this game is awesome!

 

[Tenchiro]

My solution for U-Turn

[Yuri_Rage]

Single drive wheel solution for U-Turn

 

[Tenchiro]

After going back to solve the levels in more elegant ways, I ame up with a cool one for the wall.

[Dr_Deathweed]

Well, I know it looks like a cluster, and it is not near as cool as some of Yuri's stuff, but I managed Up the Stairs with one drive wheel

[Yuri_Rage]

The tank track also works for a one wheel solution to Up the Stairs.

 

[Dr_Deathweed]

The tank track also works for a one wheel solution to Up the Stairs.

I was trying something like that for the longest time... It worked great with two wheels, but one wheel wasn't cutting it.... Ah well, at least I know it can be done!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I need to quit playing this game. I've been working out in the garage all day, but every time I take a break I find myself clicking here again...
