Fun physics game.

In the beginning it's pretty easy but you have to start thinking after a few levels.

I'm pretty damned proud of this design... although its rather sloppy.

EDIT: here's a link too: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=336827

I got to the level, higher, before i was like, no way. I kind of cheated i think. I was more carting the thing over there rather than making it part of the whole moving thing. But whatever, it works.

I'm gonna be playing this over and over.

I've seen something similar before, but this one is actually entertaining.

I can't remember the name of this one game but you have this objective, can't remember what it was, but you got this lamp and fans and conveyor belts and all kinds of like baseballs tennis balls bowling balls and you just kind of set it up to make some kind of fun little round about sort of thing and boom your objective is completed in the middle of it all

There was a cool PC game several years ago like this called Incredible Machine.

I got to Four Balls and was close, but my brain is too fried from doing the Big Ball one.

Got to the big ball one and gave up.

You can go back to the ones you've completed and watch how other people did it. Some awesome complicated stuff, and some stuff that's so obvious and simple that you'll slap yourself for not doing the same thing.

Really cool game.

I solved it by wrapping around the left circle and sling shotting the thing into the pink. However, there is a much better answer where you launch it over on the end of a stick driven by a launcher made of driven wheels.

Reminds me of Magic Pen on Yahoo... though a little slicker.

Oh, and Mission to Mars I solved like this:
