OK GO

If you register you can save and share your contraptions, even multiple on the same level (they don't have to win, you can save at any point)

Can also view others' saved entries after you beat a particular stage.

[Correction]

Yeah this is the new Spore Creature Creator; People are spending a lot of time building enormous wobbly cocks.

[Norellicus]

But, just like the creature creator, there's plenty of folks with great engineering ideas for how to actually solve the puzzles too. It's pretty cool.

Fun and addictive and it's taking away from my study time.. goddamnit lol

[Khamsin]

Too bad there's no flash-based The Incredible Machine game to play. I remember that from when I was younger.

All ive been doing at work, is playing this for the past week.....

Only have to find a way to beat #20 now!

[Khamsin]

For some reason, the link they provide you to let someone directly view your contraption doesn't work. It thinks you're trying to link someone to a player-designed level, instead.

[Spoony Bob]

Reminds me of armadillo run, kind of.

[Norellicus]

The site is borked today, but those links DO work. It just does that randomly.

Got to #13 and got stumped. Tried doing some of the others ahead of it, but stumped me again.

Oh and "Mission to Mars" = PURE WIN

YES.

When i first got to it I was like "oh fuck how the hell am I going to do this"

figured out a pretty cool way to get it though(i'm sure most people got a similar solution)

There was a Ctr Alt Del or Penny Arcade comic about this. I forget which one though.

i got up to 18 and have no fkn clue how to scale the tube with no bottom to build on. I tried spacing out the wheely thingies so there wasnt even 1 pixel between the wall and the wheels and it didn't work. Short of making a pinwheel-type contraption to fling the ball upwards I'm at a total loss.

Realllly fun though D:

I was making the most rinky dinky shit and then I viewed someone elses stuff and felt like a retard. They had trusses setup and like little machines to launch the goal block to hte goal area. Pretty neat.

I fucking hate you for posting this. I wasted way too much valuable time playing with that. >_<

That's impressive. All of mine look like catapult with weight to counterbalance >_>

wish I could get that far. I'm stuck on 13, and I don't wanna copy anyone. ~_~;

Advice:

Spoiler: show

Remember that while rods will pivot on their joints, they cannot be stretched or compressed. Apply lateral force between two joints of a rod and they'll just push the force out to whatever is on the end of the joints.

Just finished 19. Totally didn't expect this to work, I was just trying to test a concept and was going to tweak it as necessary. XD
