Don’t let it be this game.
Seriously, friends don’t let friends build Fantastic Contraptions.
I don’t know what’s cooler: making a machine that works, or seeing how mind-blowingly awesome everyone else’s machines are. For the level depicted, you could build a machine that looks more like a plow (that’s how I solved “Awash,” the level pictured here), or you could use the techniques pictured below: make a snake (who knew?), or of all things, a frickin’ catapult.
I’d go on uselessly for paragraphs about how cool this game is, and how important it is for gaming, but really, it speaks for itself. Just go play it. Impress yourself. Surprise yourself. And make sure to see what other people are making.
Jeez, it has player created content, peer learning, problem solving. Just. Wow. I’d call this the greatest casual game ever, but I’m not even sure it can be called “casual.”
I’m stuck on Tube, for the record.

Couldn’t you have at least linked to those solutions? I’d love to see the catapult.
(I solved it through the use of a plow, myself.)
mos, I really wish I could link to the solutions, but they won’t show you them ’till you’ve beaten that level, I don’t think. So it wouldn’t help anyone who hasn’t played ‘em yet.
Thanks.
Not that I needed another time killer at work, but this is the kind of game I absolutely love.
Great game…Addicting Games was my best friend during programming lectures all through college. It’s nice to see some fresh games popping up.
oh my…this is really fun…
is this the only solution to “mission to mars”?
