Game over

You probably don't know this about me, but I have led a double life for the past month or so. I've been making Fantastic Contraptions (and there is no twelve step program for it).

FantasticContraption is a game unlike any I have played. It brings out the engineer in you. The wonderfully frustrated cursing engineer up in the middle of the night hunched over the computer screen with a contorted face. That too.

Because you have to get the pink thing in the other pink think you see. Most of you are familiar with that sort of process (nudge wink) but not like this. You can build whatever you like to do the job but you've got to stay in the blue box you see... The best thing about the game: after you do a level, can check out what other people constructed.



Anyway: check it out at FantasticContraption.com. And while you're at it: check out my creation called 'extendedversion' (press play and continue) that made it through the last level. My work is done...

You'd probably love The Incredible Machine. Bit old, but same idea, just pre-web-app age.
