How it feels

You tinker with whimsical contraptions, setting off chain reactions of gears, pulleys, and explosions in a lighthearted, brain-teasing playground.

What players say

Players mostly praise the creative physics puzzles and short levels that let you build Rube Goldberg machines, but some find the physics inconsistent and the menus clunky. Longtime fans compare it unfavorably to The Incredible Machine, though many enjoy it as a nostalgic trip.
