As it is, the ads make it practically unplayable. It’s a shame. We played for a bit then deleted it. ### 2/5 — Rope disappears *2019-02-10, version 4* I can not seem to get the rope to wirk. When I touch it to move it it disappears. **Developer response:** Hi, the tutorial shows how to use the rope. ### 3/5 — No sandbox *2020-01-01, version 4* The best part about TIM was the one thing this game is seriously lacking: free-play mode to just design your own “Rube Goldberg style” machines. With that, it would be well worth paying for, because this game is very well made and works very well on my device! ### 3/5 — Good idea, needs a tweak *2018-11-02, version 4* I emailed them to fix this. A 5 star rating is in order when/if they make 1 little tweak. Every time you build a puzzle and activate it, you currently have to replace all of the elements from scratch. So if you are a degree off on 1 element, you are unable to adjust that 1 element and reactivate. You have to place everything back from scratch. Definitely worth it if they get this taken care of. Similar to The Incredible Machine. **Developer response:** Hello Charymar, You can use the play/pause functionality for this. When you press the play button, just press it again to go 2x speed and another to pause. When the experiment is paused you can change the position of the objects. Just be aware that every time you pause you lose points and in consequence get less starts 😉. ### 4/5 — Awesome Machine *2020-03-24, version 4* Awesome machine is an app where you have to try to flip a switch with the materials given to put in a place where you consider perfect or well enough to make the action happen. This can only be played against the computer and is not a multiplayer game. This app helps you learn how Rube Goldberg machines work because of the steps and simple machines used in the game that help you accomplish your goal. This is a four star game because of how you can learn from it and of how it is fun and makes your brain work. ### 4/5 — Good Game, Too Many Ads *2019-11-06, version 4* I like the game, I especially like that you might solve a level creatively without getting the exact right combination of objects. I agree with others that it would be fun to have additional, possibly less useful, items in the toolbox. I’d play the heck out of this game if there were a paid option to remove the ads. ### 4/5 — If you miss TIM give this a spin *2019-01-19, version 4* I was a big fan of The Incredible Machine. I'm enjoying this as a bit of nostalgia for that great game. I'd be happy to pay for a ad-free version. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Nice *2019-01-03, version 4* I used to play incredible machine and this is enough like it to be enjoyable. It would be better to not give away what tools are needed, but have the chest contain all tools possible. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. It is a good idea to show all the tools, increasing the difficulty of the game and creating news ways to finish the levels. Thanks :) ### 4/5 — Fun physics puzzle game *2018-03-25, version 1.3* Fun game! Very reminiscent of the incredible machine. Would be 5 Star, but sorta heavy on the ads. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
