This (http://fantasticcontraption.com/) is a free flash-based game that I've been wasting alot. So far, I've gotten thru 17 of the 21 puzzles. Good fun. :2thumbsup:

If anyone comes up with any innovative designs to the harder puzzles, it might be fun to compare and see how different orgahs go about solving them. :beam:

Alright I have this game figured out. The answer is ALWAYS more wheels!

Here's something I thought was pretty interesting when I did it (Mission to Mars level):

I remember playing a game similar to this one called the awesome contraption machine or something like that. Pretty fun, but iirc, it gets horrendously difficult later one

Been playing it last week at Kongregate

Normally I go for the simplest approach.

1,2,3 (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2526417)

Rotator (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2528108)

Some are a bit more complex

Just did Level 21 U-Turn after doing the previous post. I wanted something simpler but here it is:

Wow, I thought no one else knew of this great game. I have finished it 5 times and its still good fun, thought my contraptions aren't anywhere near as good.

I think Level 21 is fairly easy... the tube one is getting me stuck... or unstuck. I can see a brute force approach but that ain't what I want.

Here is 21 again:

I just finished mission "unpossible". I started out with this lovely trebuchet (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2658582) (check out how far it can fling that ball!). But when I attached a tether, it lacked the raw power to do the job. So I built the infernal machine (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2658582). :sweatdrop:


Some are a bit more complex

Bulldozer (http://"http//FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2527070)
I had a similar take on that one- I called it the TBM (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2619486). :beam:


As you can tell I like treadsTreads (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2670970)? :smash:

Ok i've done em all... only one im stuck on now is the tube....

I cant seem to figure out how to get it up...

Can some one help me!!!!

ohh and heres my test and fail of awash


Heres the first part when i was still figuring out how i would by pass all that great weight

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2709213

Then came stabilization of my tank
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2709731

But i noticed the circles would block up the tread so i needed a way to keep them off so heres the final beast

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2709870

Now does anyone else see one which can push the weight up the hill cause i haven't.

Nothing fancy.

EDIT: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2713475 It's like a tank plowing through a crowd of college protesters.

I don't know if you saw my killdozer design from junkyard, but allow me to present killdozer2 (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2705941) -son of killdozer. :beam:

The secret is linking the wheels so the power gets to where it's needed. :yes:

I've now finished all the stock levels, so I've just been going back over some of them again to make more "fun" designs. :2thumbsup:
I should prolly spring for the full version.....

I finally got Down Under:

It took me forever tinkering around with the weights and rope lengths.

I am incapable of figuring out the really hard designs at this point in time.

A way to get through Awash with only 6 spinners. Takes a while, but it works!

I got through Tube, but I didn't save it. 3 spinners in a triangle with the ball in the middle. Triangles are your friend here, you can walk up the walls like people do with their hands. You can stop up the bottom of the hole with a wood triangle, there is a little bit of a ledge.

Edit-> here's a second take, not quite what i did first.

Tube was one for me that was kick yourself simple once I got it, but it seemed impossible for quite awhile.

Here (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2621510) is a solution for it using just 2 spinners and one stick. Simple, but boring.

This (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2766083) tube design has a little more pizazz, I much prefer it. :beam:

This (http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=2658582) was what I used to get thru unpossible.
Papewaio

Not only done it, but I have a solution for Unpossible that stays within the pink end zone.

Got to say it is quite messy and inelegant.

This is a copy of my favorite design. I did this, but the idea was already done and I copied it.

Up the Stairs was annoying me. It's doable, but the usual contraptions were taking too long. Now I know why ED-209 couldn't use stairwells...

So I made this one.
