Fun With Physics? Fantastic Contraption FTW! - Time Waster


I suffered through two years of physics in high school, and it's not really a subject that most people would consider an exciting way to waste time on a Friday afternoon. Well, slap me silly, Fantastic Contraption proves that physics can indeed be fun!

The goal is simple: assemble your contraption in the work area (the light blue box) and propel the pink wheel into the pink box. You're provided only a handful of simplistic components with which to build - wheels, a water-drive rod, and sticks. Assemble them like a caveman MacGuyver to reach the goal, and move on to the next level! The physics is surprisingly realistic, and the game can get quite challenging.

Registering allows you to create and save levels, and you're given given a url that links directly to your creation so you can frustrate your friends. Unfortunately, playing other user's saved games requires a $10 registration fee, but you'll have plenty of fun playing the free levels.
