:D nice game. But the tutorial vehicle is as controllable as flying a dishwasher :D
But hey, it adds to the comical parts everytime I crash, so 5/5 anyway :D!
I am a bad pilot...

sorry about the WR system bobbobertson - sometimes people cheat and set rediculous world record times so I have to reset all the times... A better idea of the world record times can be found in the 'High Scores' tab of the kongregate chat box

I like the premise, but as most others have said, yeah, it's hard to build with, clunky. I prefer the building interface/style of Fantastic Contraption. Something nicer in that regard would've been awesome with this idea in mind.

Very bad copy of Fantastic Contraption, even the addition of Jet Engines doesn't make it better. Whats the point in having limited objects? That would be like having limited buys on eBay, it doesn't work. If I want to make an awesome 6 wheeler monster truck I have to play Fantastic Contraption and not this pile of crap. Horrible Game, 1/5.

Neat idea. Implemented REALLY badly. It looks like it can handle a maximum of 2 command keys, which is really bad - my first flyer idea involved 8 command keys. (It would've been 6 if I could've grouped 'em, the 2 central engines were just for power.) Also, Blast mode doesn't work right - it seems to see about a 30% duty cycle when I hold down the key. Also, it needs an editing mode, or at least a snap-to-grid option, preferably both. This seems to be "Fantastic Contraption plus rocket engines", which is a neat idea... (I don't mind the fuel tanks, because they have mass you can move around, and you can place one or many as a tradeoff.)

Seems unfinished. E.g., when i build a vehicle and then press "delete vehicle", it's gone. As expected ofcourse. Only when i want to build a new vehicle, i cannot place an engine. Or better, i can, but when i want to place the fuel, the engine dissapears. One of many bugs.

I agree with mostly what Talmu says. However I seem to have a problem when i press "play" my vehicle will randomly pop into a huge pile of a mess in a random location in the game. Also sometimes the engine will not stay with the overall structure and will disappear after i "install" it. I would definitely ask to add an adjustment feature and an eraser tool. But i would not suggest the "blow the tank up" type thing. In fact you could remove the tank entirely, unless you can allow upgraded large tanks for more fuel. And bigger more powerful engine that guzzle more fuel. Besides that this game is very good. But I still hate the fact my entire vehicle randomly launches to a random spot in the edge of the map in a pile for no reason and i haft to restart. 3/5

I like the game and I like the idea but I just have too much difficulty with the the jet engines. It was fun for the first few levels but I ended up just getting frustrated. 4/5

I put together a vehicle, then when I go to start, it turns into a wheel with a bunch of sticks coming out of it pointing all over the place. Placing the wheels in the first place is a cumbersome pain in the backside. They kept disappearing. This 'game' needs a lot of work. I'd say it's about halfway finished.

Not bad for the first version, the idea is certainly nice. A few suggestions: 1: Deleting parts is cumbersome, perhaps an "eraser"-like tool would be more user friendly. 2: Is it possible to relocate things that have already been placed? It doesn't seem so - if it's possible, it should be made more obvious. If it's not possible, well... that's pretty bad. I stopped playing altogether because I couldn't easily make adjustments to a complex vehicle I'd spent time building. 3: It would be nice to allow more creative placement of engines and fuel tank. Even better if they had a more interesting role in the game, e.g. fuel tank could explode if the vehicle isn't careful, or engines provide more power if they're closer to wheels, etc. Like I said, this wasn't bad for a first shot, but I sure hope the second installment is more user-friendly than this.

Assigning controls to the vehicle for EVERY lvl is a very stupid and cruel joke. And this game is Very boring. The engine and fuel tank just sits on top of your vehicle, unnattached (must be held on by invisible force fields beyond our technological scale) and miraculously the wheels turn with no belts or axils of any kind, and somehow the fuel just mysteriously leaves the tank and flows in the very being of the wood and powers the vehicle. The physics for this game, although I am not expert, are faulty and outrageous. If I could give this game a negative score I would.

The music reminds of an old game I used to play called Yukon Trail, haha. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to version 2 when it's cleaned up. I love games like these. :)

yes, glitchy and cumbersome is the word of the day. Promise though, need to seriously make the controls a little nicer
