It is puzzle solving at its purest form, you are given a set of problems, and you solve them. ‘Crazy Machines’ is undoubtedly inspired by ‘The Incredible Machine’. I don’t know who it was, but someone had an incredible stroke of brilliance to think up of ‘The Incredible Machine’.
The first I saw of ‘The Incredible Machine’ when I was a young, years ago. I got my hand on the demo version and couldn’t believe it, WHERE WAS I ALL MY LIFE PLAYING SUPER MARIO!? This game, this one game was amazing. Everything a boy like me back in the day could dream of… All my desires as a hankering problem solver and inventor where fulfilled, albeit not fully, it was only the demo…
Now ‘Crazy Machines’ is basically a newer version of ‘The Incredible Machine’. It has far better visuals and a better system in which gadgets operate.
Basically it is a puzzle solving game, you are given a task to accomplish, for instance you are to put a ball in a box, the balls position is fixed and there are a bunch of fixed obstacles it has to pass through, you are given some gadgets to help you complete the objective and are let loose. Given everything revolves around calculated physics, you’ll find that there can be multiple ways of solving some of the problems.
The interface is elegant, utilizing no more than the mouse for little boy/girl to use to drag and drop the various gadgets to create the crazy machine and solve whatever task is at hand.
While some puzzles are inanely difficult they can still be solved with a little bit of patience and ingenuity, even a young boy or girl can work his or her way through all the puzzles, with a little help from Mr. Daddy, or Mrs. Mommy of course.
There are 200 puzzles to solve in total, and countless possibilities after that, or even before. There’s a sandbox mode in the game where you are given access to all the various gadgets and are allowed to do anything you want, always good for a little bit of fun… I remember when I used to own ‘The Incredible Machine’ I’d spend countless hours blowing stuff up in various ways…
This is a game that everyone should own and play, not just kids, its fun, easy to get into and will provide you with many an hour of fun.
