I would put down a mirror to do complete one objective, and then the next objective spawns and the contraption I just put down would invalidate that new objective forcing me to build more contraptions to undo my first contraption all while still trying to complete all the objectives. It was a wonderful time haha

The music and sound effects are funky and groovy! I really enjoyed that aspect too!

The spawns really can be punishing sometimes lmao. Thanks for the kind words :]

I had a lot of nostalgia from my childhood playing The Incredible Machine! I couldn’t ever make the rocket work and seemingly softlocked the game by accidentally pressing spacebar while I was firing a charge. Besides that, I enjoyed all the funky parts you added:)

Dude I played Incredible Machine: Contraptions for hours and hours on end, that series is my childhood! Glad you enjoyed our game :]

We've seen a couple players assume they're softlocked because the game is still in "play" mode but nothing happens to be moving - we probably could have had a better visual indicator of that.

got me building impractical systems that only work out of pure determination. Just like during the jam

really impressive! pretty fun to put little contraptions together. i couldn't quite get through it but managed to get a decent chunk of the way in. also a snazzy lil' synth groove and the "pew" sound is genius🥂
