Crazy Machines 3 is a physics-based puzzle game in which you build contraptions to complete playful, often oddball objectives. Each level gives you a goal and components to work with.
Arrange gears, ropes, springs, motors, balls, and other parts so that one action sets off the next. Electricity, wind, lasers, and explosions add more ways to move objects and trigger mechanisms; test a design, see where it fails, and adjust it.
As you progress, puzzles combine more parts and mechanics. Outside the set levels, you can experiment in a sandbox, create machines and puzzles with the editor, customize parts, and share or download creations through Steam Workshop.
Players often enjoy the clever physics puzzles and the satisfaction of watching a complicated chain reaction finally work. Reviews also value the freedom to experiment with different solutions, the sandbox and Workshop creations, and the game’s nostalgic appeal. Some players find puzzles difficult to interpret or complete, and mention finicky controls or inconsistent physics as frustrations.
