This week i have been mostly wasting my life playing this

Fantastic Contraptions

Infuriatingly addictive

Enjoy

This is really fun. I love stuff like this (even if im crap at it!)

can anyone do the 'big ball' one? i am stumped

can anyone do the 'big ball' one? i am stumped

Which big ball one?

on a roll
or
full up?

wooohoooo!

just got past the Big Ball level - only took 90 minutes

so did i, so did i!

How did you do it?

Mission to Mars has me stumped

got it!

Oh bloody hell, after all this time, making contraptions, NOW i see that you can move the pink ball thing to anywhere with in the square!?!

Well that just makes it too easy

you can move the pink thing?!

Have to try again now.

Argh! The one where you have to get it in the square below is TOO nails!!!

Wow I could play this all day! Good find, I'm rubbish at it but who cares lol!

The last one has me stumped I've even looked at other peoples solutions but i still can't get it to work

Stumped on "mission to mars".

What's the clue there?

The clue with mission to mars is that you have two options:

Attach the pink thing to the end of a long arm so it goes through the pink square as the arm falls.

Or

Dont attach the pink thing to anything and build a contraption that can thwack it over the other side!

Can't get past The Tube - I reckon I'm approaching it the wrong way - I've tried flinging the little pink ball and I've tried building a tube-crawling device - neither worked

without giving me the solution, can anyone give me a hint to try?

I think you need to retry the tube crawling device

thats what I thought

I've built a platform that wedges itself in the bottom of the tube and stops everything falling straight through

However, I can't seem to get traction on the tube walls

it's difficult to suggest without telling you exactly what to do....

if you get the wheels turning in the right direction and right up against the side walls the platform will rise

I found zooming in so you could place the wheels precisely helped with the tube level.

Just started back and forth, it seems im now in direct competition with my mate from the Supra forum, didnt realise you can post up linkks to how you did it til now!

The Mars one was pretty easy, took me 2 attempts. The tube one though I think I was trying to be too clever, ended up using only 2 drive wheels and a couple of sticks.

on a roll - got the tube done (thanks for the hints chaps) - also managed the back & Forth one in about half an hour.

I've looked at Unpossible and given up for the night though.....

Im within mins of completing it now, i just wish id had more of a precision click when deleting stuff as the main crux of what i did was based on angles.....the main one ive just deleted!!!

I've decided that simple engineering elegance is a crock. The more complicated the better :). I am particularly proud of this effort. And they tell me I have the soul of Archimedes.

Pah, that's not a contraption, this is

Woop woop! Completed!

My winning final design is.....


Clicko!

Scooby, pfoe I am truly humbled

Keep on it mate, sometimes you just end up building ludicrous stuff without realising it

I feel like crying.
Those 2 contraptions...are truly marvelous.

Grr, the handling one, I get the box completely into the goal area but it doesn't work

Aha, must have been a single pixel out!

Finshed

I am stuck on 4 balls, I can get 3 up there, but not the last

Also, none of the posted ones above I can get to, keep saying some rubbish about upgrading flash, yet it is and I have done it again but still nowt!

Which browser you using?

Oh and this was my final level design

Seems to be OK now, I cleared the cache and temp files, and hey presto. It is IE 7 though.

I must say you machine is damn ugly, but a thing of beauty too

I am just pleased its raining otherwise I would be doing the gardening

Here's my solution!

Mission to Mars

Maybe not the prettiest but it works

Right since a few people have completed it anyone fancy having a go at picking a level and seeing who can come up with the most obscure solution

For the record i would like to say that this is possibly thee most addictive game on the web!!

Needless to say i'm flummaxxed on the final level Unpossible.

Wow very impressed everyone. Though i would like my last few hours back please!

You guys have way too much time on your hands seriously!

Unpossible solved

Although this solution is far more entertaining

PS - anyone noticed that this little web app grabs a LOT of system resources?

My Firefox is taking over 60% of CPU to run it - poor old laptop fans are working flat out

Look at the bright side,

you get a nice warm sensation in your lap without having to wet yourself

That second solution is incredible! Must've taken hours to get right!

Okay I am getting pretty annoyed with the tube one! ANy hints or sod it and show me!

Also, all answers are on youtube, so check them out too, but thats cheating

So frickin simple!

Had a quiet word with one of the IT guys and this is now allowed through our work firewall. Not sure that was a good move...
