Title: Fantastic Contraption
Post by: rabbit on August 12, 2008, 10:22:54 pm

I wasted too much time on this today.

This is a really fun physics type puzzle game, which basically lets you construct stuff in order to move a block/ball to a goal.

God, I thought this said "fantastic contraception" and my only thought was "what? a curb stomping? drano?"

The only thing that would make this game better is if it wasn't flash

Just beat all the levels; unpossible was pretty tricky, until I figured out it was easier than I was making it

One of my friends (not from here) said tube was impossibe, so I saved this one to show it can be done.

I had fun with a lot of them, but I spent the most time on the last one by quite a bit (~3 hours).  I think I probably could have done better, but I spent a ton of time making lots of small tweaks to get it to work.  If i changed too much too fast it would completely break :P

(4am probably didn't help either)

I'll go back and see if I made it too complicated after I get some sleep!

Title: Re: Fantastic Contraption
Post by: Warrior on August 17, 2008, 04:38:59 pm

The one level with the ball, I built like a plank ontop of the ball and balanced the little ball and moved the big ball across. It was awesome.

The others I made like a car and shit to get them across.

I just built a big box for the whole thing to start out on, so it didn't have to climb so high.

Haha, here's a cool approach to full up; Never even thought about knocking the ball down.

I had just finished tube, so it was fresh in my mind and thought I could make a car that would climb up, fall right, then swing into the goal on a leash.  Unfortunately it became increasingly complex when I couldn't get the car to fall the right way and ended up making minor tweaks for about 2 hours :P

I have to repeat myself on saying how good of a time killer this game is. For once a flash game actually kept me interested.

I beat all the levels after a little bit of time. Here's my solution to unpossible:

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=714744 (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=714744)

I was initially trying to build a launcher (out of what is now the drawbridge), but when that failed due to the chain's weight, I had to settle for this. It's not that awesome, but I like it.

Title: Re: Fantastic Contraption

Tried to do unpossible with a slingshot, since I haven't seen anyone try. It was pretty much just an epic failure. Here's how far I got:
