Design a contraption that moves from one area to the other by adding mechanical devices. Fun free game.

That is where I am at too! Stuck there ... cannot seem to make the ball move out of my way or trap it before it falls down and blocks me!

I can't get by the hill climb. I keep tipping over backwards.

Post by **szh** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:13 pm

Alright!!! I got "Down Under" ... that was tough!

Post by **szh** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 5:16 pm

Got "Back and Forth".

Now, I have it wedged at the bottom of the "Tube", but cannot climb yet!

I have a problem with making everything way more complicated than it should be. I'm still stuck on "Mind The Gap". I'm sure the solution is really simple, but I just keep coming up with these crazy convoluted ideas that dont work. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get it in a minute. I'm just probably overlooking something since Im not used to the game yet.

This game is excellent! Awesome find!

I particularly like that there's no restriction or "cost" for components. Just come up with an idea and make it work.

What did you do for Back and Forth? It's one of the couple I have left. Here's what I've done so far. Close, but no cigar:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=121875

This was my solution for Tube:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=122266

Unfortunately, I did not save the one that succeeded - darn!!

Here is an earlier stage version that I eventually made successful: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=118512

Much simpler than mine!

The one I made (link is in an earlier post) has a scary slide-down before it catches and then goes on!

Very nice!!

"Four Balls" and "Unpossible" are the two I have left in the freebie version.

I am very afraid to pay the tiny $10 for the full version ... I think I will get addicted to this game - so I had better not do that!!!

I just noticed something though ... the water rods went through the projecting environment if you let it run. Might be a bug!

Still ... you are on the right track. With a minor change to add the target water rod to the edge of that last motor (instead of the axle), it swings harder when dangling!

Very nice! I was on the conveyor belt approach this morning, but had to go on a conference call, so have not got it done ...

I don't remember if i posted this or not, but here is my "Handling" solution: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=121385

Had to lower and then raise the rectangle to make it fit it in the goal box!
