Contraption Maker
Contraption MakerPlatform:PC, MacDeveloper:SpotkinPublisher:SpotkinTotal score:12.5 out of 10 stars- HEX:6- BAJO:6.5Rating:Not Rated:DARRENSince they started observing the world around them, humans have been trying to understand how it all works. Why does an apple fall from a tree?
Jul 04, 2016 Contraption Maker is a program released by the software company Spotkin. Sometimes, users decide to uninstall this program. This is easier said than done because deleting this by hand requires some skill regarding Windows internal functioning. I think Contraption Maker is very good at teaching compartmentalisation. That's where you look at a problem in parts, and try to solve each section on its own - forever working towards the final goal.
If that means CoH2, then that mean CoH2. Class of heroes 2 classes. But what is to stop me from just getting the digital. I missed the physical+digital because I learned of localization too late. In fact, once I get a VITA, it’ll come along for the ride!I’ll begin exploring the Class of Heroes series from whichever game is the LATEST one available.
Why does the Earth spin? Why does Bajo take so long to get up a flight of stairs?BAJOI just like to take my time, Darren! Stairs can be very dangerous.DARRENIndeed. Well one very important piece of this puzzle, is physics - the study of matter as it moves through space and time, and what kind of forces and energy it uses along the way. Physics is a science that has been incredibly useful in video games.HEXYes, especially when it comes to puzzle games!DARRENAffirmative Hex, and Contraption Maker one such game.
In encapsulates 140 puzzles of various difficulties, and it's the spiritual successor to the 90s classic The Incredible Machine. Which I assume was named after me. Ahahhaha!BAJOSure it was, Darren. This is a puzzle game where you also make puzzles. You are given a level with one objective; like sending off a rocket, or stopping a bunch of balloons from popping. So you have to insert and tweak bits and bobs of machinery and other objects to make the contraption work, and achieve your goal.HEXAs you play through the puzzles, they do quite a good job of teaching you how everything works. And the interface is clean and easy to understand for the most part - nothing feels too fiddly, so I'm glad they got this right, guys.BAJOYeah, that's really important for a game like this!DARRENAhem, I personally loved the lasers!
Sorry, I'm just excited to have so many lasers at my disposal! I even built my very own Darren with additional lasers on my arms! Building my lasers!BAJOI was quite impressed with the variety of puzzles and gadgets. As you mentioned, Darren, there are lasers that can pop balloons or manipulate colour to turn on even more lasers!DARRENAh haha! Laser bliss!BAJOAlong with that, there are bouncing balls, switches, and hamsters. So many things to play with, Hex!HEXYeah, and when you start getting to the tougher puzzles things get really complicated!
My head began to hurt quite quickly. This game is good in short bursts, I think. If you play for too long, it can start to feel a bit like hard work.BAJOYeah, that's true Hex.DARRENWell you two, building machines is hard work! I think Contraption Maker is very good at teaching compartmentalisation. That's where you look at a problem in parts, and try to solve each section on its own - forever working towards the final goal. It's a bit like how all my internal parts need to be precisely connected and kept in optimum condition, to ensure my lasers are always fully operational.HEXYou do like to be prepared, Darren.
I must say that while I liked being able to build my own contraptions, knowing where to start can be a little difficult! Thankfully there are plenty of community made levels out there that you can download and they help you work out the first steps.BAJOWhat I like most about this game is how creative you can be. You can even build things with other people online, but I just wish it had a bit more personality to it.HEXYeah, I agree - it is a little mundane.BAJOAnd that music pretty crazy!HEXYeah, I turned that off pretty quick.
But guys, you know, this game sets out to do something, and I think it does it pretty well, so I'm giving it 6 out of 10.BAJOYeah. I like the little noise it makes every time you solve a puzzle. I'm giving it 6.5 out of 10.DARRENRight, you two, it's time to answer some questions!HEXOh, good idea!DARRENOh, and remember - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate! Science jokes!
Super Contraption is a physics sandbox construction game all about building machines.Build whatever contraption you can imagine!See what machines you can think up. See how your contraptions operate under different conditions, like on the moon or deep under water. Experiment with gravity, air resistance,magnetism and more with more concepts being added regularly.Aside from experimenting and being creative, there is no main objective to the game.Build a crazy Rube Goldberg machine or a simple toy.Build ANYTHING, like say a rocket ship with cupcake cannons, or a blimp fortress to fly through the sky.Save your contraptions and work on them later.Play in multiple worlds with more worlds and items being added all the time.Since this is a physics simulation game it should be played on a relatively modern device.
Playing Super Contraption on a slower device might result in a reduced frame rate, or for the game to close.This is an indie game programmed entirely by myself. I make frequent updates and appreciate feedback.Email me: supercontraption@gmail.comThe ability to share contraptions and browse other shared contraptions should come in the next couple updates.Official Website: the facebook page to see updates about the game: + Page: installing this app you agree to the following privacy policy:http://www.oneaudience.com/privacy/?packagename=Super%20Contraption.
