A great physics game : given basic elements (wheels, motors, sticks etc), you have to build a machine that will take an object to a goal. Sounds easy ? It's not ! Sounds boring ? It's NOT !

If you enjoyed Phun, you should love this game.

Heythat using a bridge technique was really neat. I was just building brute-force, 'loads of wheels' vehicles, your solution is much more elegant, here's it tweaked just for fun (not really any better

)

I played it a bit a couple of days ago, it's quite hilarious when you find weird and unexpected ways to complete a level. Like this one http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=60061

Edit: Apparently this thing is pretty random, it DID complete the level when I made it

hamradio · « **Reply #5 on:** July 24, 2008, 05:40 PM »

I had the same idea p3lb0x

only for a different level...

Heres mine...

Here's my solution to Mission to Mars: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=66551
(VideoInPicture: you posted a solution to mission to mars, not four balls)

Has anyone passed level 15:down under?

[edit] incredible, I passed it! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=66673

Here's my solution to Level 15, the one with a lot of balls: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=54699

Heres how I did the "Big Ball" level...

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=68558

and after playing some more of the "Big Ball" level...

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=68974

After victory hit the back button in the game and watch and the big ball that tries to block you will fall off too. I did two that would fall off like that.

That is the fastest of the 2. The slow one is http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=68916

I'm still working on 19, but haven't figured a smart way to do it yet.

Ok, this solution for 19 is just absolutely briliant: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=72368
(it's not mine

thanks, but I was just lucky

Now.. watch this: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=64604
I think this is the best solution for 19 I've seen so far (and I've seen quite a few pages!

). This one is just perfect in its simplicity, I think it can't possibly get simpler than this

ak_ · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2008, 06:57 PM »

Phew, i finally finished last level !
