Thanks!
Build a machine. Let it run. Experiment and learn. There are many levels. Some may seem really difficult. Do not be discouraged. Be creative. This game is very, very fun. It is appreciated!

Reminds me of the Golden Age of Apps
This is a must-have for fans of Fantastic Contraption. The fact that this game has no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collection is almost unbelievable. This should be on the front page of the App Store, not another anime micro-transaction simulator.
My favorite game ever
I never write reviews but I love this game so much. I wish there were even more worlds. I like that you can build whatever u want. I’m pretty sure the star system is based on time. I wish there could be different modes to achieve 3 stars in, like least time, least materials, most materials, etc. very fun I enjoy this very much.

Wish there were more levels it’s so fun
Really enjoyed this. It’s a lot like one of my favorite computer games, Fantastic Contraption. Stars are based on how fast you can get the solve by the way.
This game is fantastic! Deserves more spotlight.
Me an others I've shared this with are enjoying the heck out it. Quite a diamond in the rough. Hopefully more people that enjoy it will pick it up and give it a shot. The interesting and creative ways to solve the puzzels are endless and sometimes comical. Share it with a friend.
Great game
This game is very well built and with no ads! A serious challenge but the parts are powerful and the possibilities are endless. More levels please!!
As some have mentioned, I’d like a clearer explanation of the star system - it seems to be based purely on time but the the goals are not explicit. Also an explanation of the parts - it seems like dotted lines are both transparent to the ball AND lighter? But I’m not sure.
Another feature that would take this game to the next level is being able to see how other people solved the same level after you complete it, or maybe after you get 3 stars to preserve the challenge. Right now it shows rankings but I want to be able to see everyone else’s creativity.

Hints for this great game
Do not give up. Combinations of wheels, chains, rafts, catapults and arms/paddles will help with obstacles. Time as in speed appears to be the criteria for more stars. This continues to be the most enjoyable game I have recently experienced. Thanks very much!
Absolutely incredible.
One of the greatest iOS games out there, period. Here’s a vote for more worlds please!
Catapult
Fantastic. I am wondering if some more unique components could be added beyond the basic components available, perhaps in later levels! To give it more of a unique twist from fantastic contraption. Thank you for the game.
Also, tip for those who have trouble - make a catapult. Attach a long rod to the edge of a wheel.

Best physics puzzler!
I love this game. It took a while to figure out some of the rules since the training session could include some more details. But before too long I was really into it. And it's free! Honestly, its worth money. Hope there is a sequel!
Cool, but gets difficult fast
Loved the ability I had to just build things I thought might work, and figure out solutions by trial and error. Once you get a few techniques down, it’s fun to fool around to get your best time. However, towards the end of world 2, the puzzles seem nearly impossible. I wish there were more “medium” difficulty puzzles. Also, maybe a way to skip a level, and not too reliant on stars to unlock new worlds. I want to see what other levels you have, but hit a wall…

Delightful physics game
Only thing lacking is an understanding of how stars are achieved. If it’s based on items used, assign them each a dollar value (eg, wheels are $100) and then set a budget for each level (eg, $500 spent = 3 stars, $650 = 2 stars, etc.). If it’s based on time, tell the user what to strive for (eg, 10 sec or less = 3 stars). Because right now I have now idea why I’m getting 1 star on some and 3 stars on others.
Also - users need the ability to replay the intro / how-to. (I don’t know the difference between the solid and dashed lines, and would like to go back and view the demo again.)

Great game!
This game is great. Basically a direct remake of fantastic contraption and that is exactly what I was wanting, as I used to play that game all the time. The visual design of the game is a nice touch, and I haven't run in to any issues so far. I appreciate that there is a leaderboard, however in future the ability to see and play out other people's uploaded designs would be awesome. Also the ability to make your own maps to play out yourself or to upload for others to try out would also really take this game to the next level.

Fantastic
This is a charming, but underrated little game for mobile. Solving the puzzles in this game is more fun than it sounds at first. I played fantastic contraption when that first came out, and couldn’t get enough. This is a stroll right down that nostalgic lane, with some nice features that FC didn’t have. The only thing I want that this game lacks, is More and harder levels please.

Love it
I love this game and can’t wait till new levels are added but I do wish that there was an option to have a snap grid as well as a sandbox level so that I could make things that wouldn’t fit in the regular levels
Response from developer
Thanks for your nice review! Im glad you like the game, new levels coming soon! Also good suggestion, will add a sandbox level in the next release!
Controls not very responsive.
Just bought this game , tried for a short time and decided that the controls for this game are minimal and less than intuitive. Not sure that I will keep it.
Response from developer
Hey! Im sorry to hear that. Pro tip: You can zoom in by pinching the screen, that way it's a bit easier to design your contraptions 😊
Nice game
I enjoy the game but I’m not sure how the star ratings are calculated? Is it a function of time or number of components? Just curious.
Also an undo button would be pretty solid.
Also an undo button would be pretty solid.
Response from developer
Hey! Thanks for the 5 star rating! The star rating are based on how fast your design/contraption is able to get the ball to the goal. Also, an Undo button is now added in the latest version!
Wonderful Puzzle Game
If you loved Fantastic Contraption you’ll love this game. The only things I can see to improve on would be an undo button, and the option to save my contraptions from previous levels.
Response from developer
Hello! Thanks for the nice review :) A new version is now available with an undo button, and also when a level is completed, the design is saved so you have the ability to replay the winning design!
Thanks for the update
After the update, the screen now rotates the right way. Thanks for the quick fix.
Response from developer
Hey! Thanks for playing my game. Im sorry you had a bad experience. I totally forgot to allow multiple orientations. This issue is now fixed with the latest version. I hope you will give the game another chance :)
