Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game

Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game

Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game isn’t a particularly original game–there have been many other PC puzzlers in the past that have involved convoluted contraptions. But those who enjoy brain benders and creating Rube Goldberg-like machinery will certainly appreciate this game anyway. The game offers more than 200 different puzzles, as well as a sandbox mode to keep wannabe inventors busy for quite a while.
The game’s interface is clean and sleek. You’ll see the work space prominently displayed in the center, containing fixed elements of the experiment already in place. The items you have to work with are listed in a sidebar to the right–you can conveniently click and drag them to where they need to go. There are also a few buttons in the bottom right corner, which are used for basic tasks like resetting the lab setup or starting and stopping the action. Many items need to be rotated or turned, which is done by hovering the mouse pointer over the item and selecting the option from the quick menu. If you ever forget the function of a certain piece, hovering over that item in the sidebar will bring up its description.
