Fantastic Contraption - cool flash game

Armakuni

I found a cool flash game called Fantastic Contraption.. it's a physics based puzzle game in which you build contraptions to solve the levels.

The goal is quite simple - get the pink object (comes in different shapes) into the pink area, using only a few tools such as sticks and balls.
However, you can build quite a few cool things using these and some of the later levels get quite hard. They can be solved in several ways each and there are lots of creative solutions out there.

You can also save your solution to a level and show it to others, which is very cool.

Here are some of my solutions -

Mission to Mars level -

So, like The Amazing Machine only flash?

Armakuni

It reminded me of that game at first but it's actually quite different.

Molokov

You guys talking about The Incredible Machine? (aka TIM) I loved that game

Fantastic Contraption was quite tricky, I only got through a few levels before finding it too tough to bother continuing...

Guybrush Threepwood

This game is a right pain. It's so annoying when you have nearly all of the wheel in, but just a tip of it is outside the box. Like Molokov, I gave up.

Mysterysheep

Yeah, it is a bit of a pain and becomes really frustrating after a while.

Armakuni

Don't give up so easily :eek:

The harder stages are the ones that are fun to solve, it feels great after you finally nail it, especially if you did it in a cool way. And you can then show the solution to other people, like post it here in this thread.

I was hoping someone would play it and post some solutions here, I love watching alternate solutions.

Well, incredible, amazing... pretty similar. I mean, when you get down to it, it's the difference between The Hulk and Spider-Man.
Wait- maybe that's not the best metaphor.

Created another solution for level 19 (Back and Forth).. pretty happy with this one :cool:

Edit - another solution for the Stars level (this idea I got from someone else) -

Edit - and my solution for the level called Awash.. put this on hold for a while because it's annoying

I forgot to post in here, but great find... I love games like this. This will tide me over until Crayon Physics Deluxe.

It originally worked a lot smoother than that but I broke it.

Edit: Also, I think my method on handling is so much more elegant that any of yours:

Hehehe, I had some fun with Back and Forth.

close but mine is so damn simple http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=248983

This is an awesome little game. I fiddled with it a bit until I got stuck on one and gave up (for today). None of my contraptions look as cool as most of you guys'. I basically throw simple ones together and hope for the best. ^^;

Thanks for sharing the link! ^_^
