What players say
Players enjoy this short puzzle game where they recreate Rube Goldberg's original cartoons, but note it only has 18 levels and can be finished in a couple of hours. The physics engine is occasionally finicky, and the mobile port origins show in the controls. There is exactly one correct solution for each puzzle, though players also find shortcuts.
