Bleck Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 because the last game you linked me to had an old blind man really pissing me off Quote
Imagist Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 this one has wheels wheels and rods Quote
HalcyonSpirit Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 This is an engineer's dream in Flash form. Thank you oh so very much. I'm hooked. And stuck. I've gotten to level 13, "Big Ball", and I can't seem to figure out a solution. I'm sure I'll come up with something... hopefully. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I got stuck on Mission to Mars, or rather got too tired for it, not really my sort of game but I do know someone who will enjoy it quite a lot. Quote
linkspast Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I just spent about 40 minutes on this... thanks... It was quite nice. Id like to see more "items" but its a pretty good waste of time. Good find, Quote
Nutritious Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Heh, this is a pretty fun game. Anyone have the full version? Is it worth it? My design for mission to mars: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=580616 Quote
Imagist Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 This is an engineer's dream in Flash form. Thank you oh so very much. I'm hooked. And stuck. I've gotten to level 13, "Big Ball", and I can't seem to figure out a solution. I'm sure I'll come up with something... hopefully. There are two general ways: either come up with something to get there before the ball drops, or build something that can "dig" under the ball, pushing it up and out of the way. A powerful catapult is probably the easiest way to do the first version (just play with the angle to avoid the obstacles above and still get into the goal zone quick enough), and something that has a "drill" wedge in front (possibly with counter-clockwise wheels to help lift the ball all the way up, if you don't stick the red block in the front) will do the trick for the second way.

Moseph Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Man, this reminds me of when I used to play the Incredible Machine as a kid. Quote
kitty Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Because I recently rediscovered console RPGs and have had no life (again) since then. Quote
Imagist Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 hahaha look he's swearing because he's not intelligent enough to do something again how cute Quote
Gollgagh Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 14 was pretty neat. I skipped "down-under" to try again later, but now I'm stuck on "Handling" Quote
HalcyonSpirit Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Yeah, I'm stuck on that one now too. Same with the last one, though that's more of a "can't get my catapult to work properly" problem than anything else... I've done all the others, though. Pretty neat. I'm really tempted to buy the full version. Quote
Gollgagh Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I can almost flip the thing over using a kind of flipping bulldozer scoop, but it doesn't want to go all the way. Quote
The Damned Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Never mind, I used a ramp like device to get across Mission to Mars. Quote
Gollgagh Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think I made a circle of CCW wheels around the "planet" with a wood rod (or three?) attached the thing and one of the wheels to swing it into the area. Quote
Moseph Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 17 - Handling is fairly straightforward once you figure out the trick to it. Is anyone else up to 18 - Tube? You have to lift/fling the ball up a vertical shaft which has no floor. I am stuck. Quote
Cecilff2 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I made a wooden rectangle platform around the planet and a triangle car to get past mars. Quote
Moseph Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Ha ha -- you can view other people's machine designs after you've finished the level. I hadn't realized that. Quote

Makai Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The submissions are so inventive. Double Pult on Mind the Gap zomg. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=637438 ^best thing I've done. Did this completely on accident. I was trying to get it to push the wedge in the pit and roll over it. Quote

You have to lift/fling the ball up a vertical shaft which has no floor. I am stuck. I spent about an hour on the tube before I got it. I was over complicating it because my early attempts at a simple tube crawler weren't working. Then I went back and tried it again... it can be done with just three parts. =/ I've enjoyed the rest of them, but the tube was just frustrating. Quote
Moseph Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I just beat 20 - Unpossible. Here's my solution for anyone who's interested. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=643727 Quote
