Fantastic Contraption

[graceanne]

Ok, so I found this game in a thread over in the AH, but it's addictive and fun and all that stuff. I'm currently on level 11.

Even with the tutorial I'm a bit confused, lol. I'll give it a try though.

Cute little game. Wish I remembered more from school physics though. Things should just work when I tell them to.

*shiver*

Ooooh. That sounded a bit toppy Velvet.

As for the game...yeah.

I don't have the patience today, although I can see how once you get the hang of it, it could be addictive. It looks like a good one if you're looking to improve your mental agility.

I got to level 13 and then it was bedtime.

 

[EmpressFi]

Oh god.. everyone at work is playing this game...

 

[desertslave]

I'm stuck at "mind the gap". Grrrrr. I need to work this out with Legos.

 

[graceanne]

I'm stuck on 'four balls' or whatever.

13, 16, 18, 19, and 20 are beating me. As it is a quarter to two, they're going to keep beating me.

Fun game, good find.

Anything that requires instructions loses me unless I'm being paid.

 

[Martini Man]

Loving this game.

Stuck on level 11.... grrrrr

 

[graceanne]

I'm working on . . 14? Or 15. One of those.

 

[Homburg]

I've beaten all but 19 and 20. Wow, those are stupidly impossible levels so far.

 

[00Syd]

I'm still stuck on 12. Shit.

Really want to feel inadequate? Check out this page of ludicrously minimalist solutions.

Hates them, I do.

I'm looking at it reading "2 pieces", "1 piece", "0 fucking pieces" and just seething. Some of those were brutally hard and took so much tweaking to get my now wildly over-complicated contraptions to work.

Yeah, and on top of that, I can't even get some of these ones with two fucking pieces to work! gah!

No need to feel bad.
The scenarios he has do not seem the same as the one I've got. I think they are made up.
For instance in Level one, he gets the ball on the right side of the hill. Of course it will roll to goal without anything. But what I get is the ball on the left side, so I need at least one piece to have it roll to goal.

ETA: I just discovered you can move the pink guy around! Than I can see how you can make the solutions much easier by positioning it in the best spot.

You can move the ball around.

Edit: Haha, I see that you figured this out.

yeah ... sometime I'm a bit slow ... expecially since I do not like to read instructions
