    Do you remember The Incredible Machine? Of course you do, it was, and still is a classic.

    This game is a low effort amateur clone of it, without adding any new ideas. Basically you are building Rube Goldberg machines. Graphics are... okay I guess, they serve the purpose. You won't write home about it. Soundtrack and effects are weird, sounds like a random selection of royalty free sound library. I could be wrong with the source.

    Control isn't bad, but this game was meant to be played with mouse. I'm disappointed that the touchpad isn't supported. And there are so many unused buttons, not sure why is there a Start button in the corner of the screen, instead of using a dedicated button on the controller.

    There is no story, it's a series of 100 puzzles. A series of unoriginal puzzles.

    The game feels like someone's first attempt at video game development, very unpolished.

    Well... I bought it at a deep discount sale for like $3... *maybe* it worth that amount. But The Incredible Machine still offers more fun (and better graphics).    … Expand

    This game really is a mess. i wanted to try it because at first sight it reminds alot of Sid & Al`s Incredible Toon, this fun little puzzleThis game really is a mess. i wanted to try it because at first sight it reminds alot of Sid & Al`s Incredible Toon, this fun little puzzle game where you with different tools try to clear a level.

    Its not as clever as that game was back in the early 90s, they did the work, these guys did not.

    The developer failed to upload their trophies to the servers for about 3 months, and with zero updates since release it really says it all. They couldnt care less about this game.

    And a patch is needed since the game keep crashing during certain levels.

    It gets a 2 because this game might lead people to search and try the Sid & Al game.    … Expand
