Really good

Objects float off the screen

Sometimes when you place an object, it floats off the screen and can’t be used until you reset the entire level. This is annoying and makes some levels very hard to play.

Runs like garbage

Game is slow and laggy. Playing on an iPhone 13 and none of the gameplay is smooth. Do not buy.

Many interface issues

I loved Incredible Machine from many years ago. Well this is not it, but I see it might be fun for younger people. The UI is a problem with items disappearing into the “ceiling”, others getting “stuck” together. When these things happen, which is often, then only option is to reset and start over. A couple of free puzzles would be good to try before deciding to spend money, which I do regret.

Fun game but touch function to move pieces needs updating and it crashes

Lot of fun to see the rube goldbergs come to life. Needs a few fixes though

Hi gnasett, you say that Rube Works needs a few fixes. Can you please contact us and let us know what problems you're having with the game? Thanks! http://www.electriceggplant.com/support.shtml

game breaking bug

this game is super fun but is unusable on iPhone X models due to the inventory overlapping the bottom of the screen. when you try to take an item out of your inventory the phone thinks you are swiping home or between apps. please fix! this breaks the game on level 7.

Hi RockNFnkRoll, really sorry, but we just saw this review. Can you please give us more information on why Level 7 is unplayable, but you were able to get around moving the inventory objects out of the tool tray in other levels? Did you try tapping-holding to first pick up the object from the tray rather than swiping upwards? Please contact us at http://www.electriceggplant.com/support.shtml with more information so we can address the problem. Thanks!

Meh

Kind of entertaining but honestly not enough levels and control of the devices

Sadly not enough levels!!

Great game and addictively fun, but really... only 18 levels? I could not give it more than three stars for that reason. Odd a developer released this game over 4 years ago and still no new levels. The game is NOT worth more than $.99 and I sadly paid $2.99 for this.

Great for classrooms!

This app has been a favorite in my classroom. We used it to learn about the physics of Rube Goldberg machines, including the basics of work and force, Newton's Laws of Motion, and simple machines. Our students will be building their own Rube Goldberg machine based on their own design so it was great to get some experience building and experimenting with the machines on this app. They are always asking to play, it's truly an engaging, fun, educational experience!

We love hearing stories about teachers/students using Rube Works in preparation to building their own Rube Goldberg machines. Perfect pairing of educational activities. Thank you!

BEST APP EVER GET IT!!!!!

It is the best app ever invented, this app is actually perfect for me because we are learning about Rube Goldberg in school and this app is about Rube Goldberg

Great game!

I'm always asking my sister to give me her iPad so I can play this game. Finally bought myself this app!!! Love it! I don't really like the "star" accomplishments for your score because if u did it right u get 3 stars anyway. Maybe, if you can give it a time bonus or something, that would solve the problem. Other than that, love the game.

Glad you love Rube Works! You're correct that you get 3 "golden prunes" if you correctly complete the level. But you also can get achievements for completing all levels with only 1 golden prune. And for a challenge, see if you can complete them all with 2 prunes as well.

Great! Please add more levels...

My son and I loved working through these. Please add more levels...and more... And more...

An awesome way to play!

Thanks for the update. I can’t wait to get stuck into this game again!

I can't recommend this game enough, such fun! I love finding new ways to solve the problems. Great to see so much love has been given to the style of the original cartoons, Rube would be proud!

Addictive

My students are absolutely addicted to this game. They are using the game as a prelude to creating their own Rube Goldberg machine. Each task is just difficult enough to not frustrate students but at the same time challenge their thinking. The end of each task also provides a bit of information on Rube Goldberg. This app provides both entertainment and critical thinking.

Thank you puzzleco. This is exactly how we envisioned students would use Rube Works, in conjunction with creating their own Rube Goldberg machines!

Wow.

Amazing game, a must have for people who love to fiddle.

Fun for all!

I am using this in my middle school classroom as a prelude to a Rube Goldberg project where students build real Rube Goldberg machines. The students are able to Learn about Rube and the difficulty and humor of his inventions. Fun game for all ages with learning and engagement!
