It took a minute of experimentation until I realized I had to drop it from the very top of the screen to give it enough speed to hit the button with enough force to press it.
For example, on one puzzle a bar of soap had to slide down a ramp to push a button, but it was hitting the button & not pushing it. There's quite a few puzzles where I couldn't tell if my solution wasn't working because I was barking up the wrong or because one thing was a bit out of place. Bowling balls roll when you expect them to stay still, balls don't press the buttons you expect them to, things you think are close enough to ignite aren't. Boring.Įven when you do get to arrange the interesting parts, the game can be very finicky about placement. The rocket's pre-placed you end up placing electrical sockets and rotary belts for a conveyor instead. For example, one puzzle needs a rocket to flip a ramp as it launches. That may have been because I have only played the first half of the game, but I suspect it's because many of the puzzles have you arranging the boring parts. For calling itself "Crazy Machines", many of the machines really didn't seem that crazy. That's the first strike against the game. It sounds like it could be interesting, but in practice it wasn't as fun as I expected. In addition to the standard "Gravity or No Gravity" settings, it also has different wind speeds and weather affecting your machine. The game also has several environmental effects.

Others have special qualities, like soap sliding easier when it's wet, or a Generator producing electricity when a belt attached to it turns. The pieces also have properties, like Conductive or Flammable. Many of the pieces can only be placed where there's a back wall to bolt them onto. If it doesn't, back to the drawing board.Įach piece snaps to a tiny grid. Once you arrange them, you can hit the Play button to run the machine and see if it works. There's a lot in this game they get right, but there's a couple minor missteps that add up to a frustrating experience.Įach level consists of a Rube Goldberg device with a few pieces missing your job is to arrange them properly so you can complete the given task. When I saw this game, I hoped it would fill its footsteps well. I have fond memories of The Incredible Machine 3. Price of The Incredible Machine Mega Pack on GOG.com: Also $10
