Contraption Maker

Contraption Maker is a physics-based puzzle game in which you assemble machines to complete objectives. Puzzles give you a setup and parts to place, then challenge you to make the sequence work.

Combine mechanical pieces, gadgets, and characters to trigger chain reactions. Test your construction, adjust its placement or timing, and try different solutions as you work toward each goal.

Beyond the included puzzles, a level editor lets you make and share your own challenges, with more creations available through the Workshop. You can also build contraptions online with up to eight players or use the JavaScript editor to make games with the game's parts and physics.

Reviewers often enjoy the game's return to the style of The Incredible Machine, along with the fun of assembling elaborate contraptions and experimenting with different solutions. Some also describe playing and making puzzles with family, or value the custom-level tools. Opinions on the puzzles' challenge and the presentation are mixed.
