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

Camel · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:35:17 pm »

I've done everything except 17, 19, and 20 so far.

Tube (18) is awesome, by the way.

lol, spank the monkey is hilarious.

My solutions for the first and last one in the batch you posted earlier were pretty similar to yours.

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

Camel · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:42:07 pm »

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

Chavo · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2008, 04:51:27 am »

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

(4am probably didn't help either)

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

Warrior · « **Reply #26 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.

Spoiler alert.

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

This is one someone came up with and titled the "noob tube;" definitely the fastest solution to tube I've seen.

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

Lead · « **Reply #31 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:20:46 pm »

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.

There's a whole page on their forums about overly and needlessly complex solutions to every stage.

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

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.

Camel · « **Reply #40 on:** August 22, 2008, 05:22:20 pm »

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:
