I’m disturbed by the solution count for my level “the Sword Trick,” because it’s zero. The problem isn’t that the level is impossible, merely difficult (both conceptually and practically). So I offer up this challenge to all you clever people:

Beat My Level (please?)

I’ll work on it whenever I take a break. I’ve already gotten a proof of concept design that almost gets one of the falling ones to where it needs to go.

testing spoiler tag... if this doesn't work, then SPOILERS AHEAD

Now I just need to get it the rest of the way in and figure out how to time entries of the other ones.  Very sneaky, making them different lengths.  I was hoping to be able to knock the vertical ones in mid-fall, but it seems to be just a tad too long for that.  My current approach is to slide them in horizontally.

All in all, very nice level. I’ll definitely have fun with it.

I got it. took way too long. This contraption relies far too much on the swaying motion it produces. I really should have thought more about the mechanism for pushing the top horizontal goal bar in…

Still, that was fun!

I will print it and frame it.

Though that was a seriously nice level. I even used an on-screen ruler at one point.

Hey, thanks man, and good job to both of you. If you’re looking for more, you might want to try “Brain Teaser.” It has a similar feel to “Sword Trick,” but the challenge is different.

Aurek:
My Brain Teaser solution: http://www.kongregate.com/games/inXile_Ent/fantastic-contraption-prius-edition?design=58727

Brain Teaser was equally fun, but easier to solve. I just love how your levels feel. Most other levels give off a feeling of obviously having a solution (or of being garbage without a possible solution). Your levels only seem to offer theoretical solvability. They come off as being more open ended, which is really fun.

Kamelkoff:
As for people who rip off the designs of others, I don’t really care that much. If I were looking for lots of praise, then I’d at least be using my real name. (And I can always go flag their ripoff)

And I like your design for Sword Trick better! The way your design pushes back in the top horizontal bar is much better than mine. The design I posted may look quick, but it took way too much tweaking to get that bar to return at all. Even my bar feeding mechanism was tempermental.
