Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game

nope, looks like I'm not smart enough or inventive enough.

Gpz1100 · 09-07-2008

i ain't buying that.

Wonderful.

I got to the "around the bend" level 9 when I stopped.

On "Mission to Mars" now....wow...this one is tough!

RichLockyer · 09-07-2008

That one wasn't bad.

Remember, the ball doesn't have to STAY in the goal zone... simply pass through it.

I made a circle of wheels around the "planet", then used wooden poles to make one long arm on the ball, then a whole bunch of short poles to create an accordion and attached that to the center of one of the wheels.

The wheels spun and started to fling the ball outward... I think it was the 2nd or 3rd spin that the arm extended out far enough to swing the ball through the goal zone.

Got that one... on "Big Ball" now...

RichLockyer · 09-08-2008

Ahh... I got stuck on "up the stairs"

You're good at other things, honey. It's OK.

I created a bridge with wheels going completely across the bottom and opposite direction wheels across the top (the balls travel through the middle). The bridge was at an angle running from where the balls were to where the balls needed to go...

It took me several tries, but I finally got it.

RichLockyer · 09-08-2008

Ya, that's exactly what I was working with.
