Fantastic Contraption: Release Your Inner Engineer

In the world of time-wasting, flash games may be the ruling elite.  Simple games like Motherload and Portal: The Flash Version have gotten me through countless long days at work.  And now that I’ve discovered Fantastic Contraption, I just might never work again.

Fantastic Contraption is a flash-based physics game in which the player is given a variety of tools to use in order to construct a device capable of moving a red ball into a goal.  Devices can be as simple as a single wheel pulling the ball, or as complex as a catapult used to hurl the ball over a barrier.

<br />

The levels get progressively more and more difficult, but they are never impossibly hard.  After you have completed a level, you can look at solutions that other players have used.  This often gave me ideas to use in later levels (Oh, I can string together a whole bunch of little sticks to make a chain…)

Fantastic Contraption consists of 20 levels that you can play for free.  For $10, you gain access to a level editor and player-created levels.

    I LOVE this game – been addicted to it for a few days. I’ve finished them all, and am now going back, and trying new methods of solving them.
