Man, I wanted to like this game, I really did. It just has some problems. I love the premise. I made a loop that had the Left jumper guy followed by two bars, two right jumpers, then two left jumpers which fed into the original left jumper. Unfortunately, I didn't get the bonus points for having all three left jumpers in a row, so I didn't get a high enough score. Also, the hints and money are whack.

For those complaining about Indonesia, RTFM. I was having the same problems (only getting 50 points) until I read the instructions which state, "gain extra points for sequences of identical props". You can get 170 points on Indonesia, I just did it.

the game just freaked out and had 3-4 layers of different screens then said i can only play on kongregate.com i think this game is buged -10/5

Ok, so... on the 4th round I finally figure out how to incorporate all 4 pieces into a machine that uses all 4 constantly... and I still only get 40/100? So I go to King.com, do the EXACT same machine... and get 40+60 bonus points to complete the level... WTH? This game is severely borked. 1/5.

I must say the owner of this really is bad at coding physics.. so i'm changing 4/5 rating to 1/5.. physics for bonuses fail because I do it all perfectly but i dont meet up with the 170 score i deserve

ok so i just got some 'bonus' points... but before i had an infinite loop that repeated using parts and still looped to all the parts. in my opinion, that'd be a bit more 'complex' than only using each item once.

what defines 'complex'? This seems to be potentially a very open free-form multi-solution puzzle game, but then your limitations in pieces to use per map seems to squelch free-form creativity into trying to recreate the solutions you've devised for each level. it's an almost great game in my opinion.

Wow, this game is EPIC..... FAILURE. Good concept and all, but very bad gameplay + it's very repetitive. I can't stand to play this game. I only did 4 lvls and I'm going crazy! HOW DOES A GAME LIKE THIS GET A GOOD RATING?! 1/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
geekglue - you had a really nice mechanism for buying the minimum kit to unlock a screen, which could have made it really freeform (maybe with hot stars on screen to pass through for extra points, making you want to revisit earlier screen with extra kit to grab these), but you threw it away on what ended up being serial play because kit you buy just unlock screens and NEVER adds to performance - shame.

the trick is to use all the given tools at least once without repetition for the first time, and then keep the ball on track, best on a short loop.

i got though 12 levels n still dont get what the point of the numbers n how to win. Its a nice idea, buts not well programed i think.

Not a bad game, and well done, but as many said here, some levels are just reeeeally too hard. Also, it gets quite repetitive... 3/5

UPD: closing the browser and re-loading the game afresh WILL correctly enable the Continue button and allow me to keep playing, but still

uh, i click "menu" on the Map Screen and the continue button is grayed out? this is after completing a dozen or so zones. LAME!

Great concept but very poor implementation in later levels. Like Tass said, it becomes a game of proper pixel placement, which is extremely tedious. I mean, levels like Oulu are ridiculous. 12 left-shooter planks? Those are just annoying to even set up in the first place to get working properly.
The scoring should have just been left at "use all pieces" for max score. This whole "repetition of object" approach is frustrating when I am able to find a much more elegant solution but cannot go with it because it doesn't yield as high a score.

Far too linear, why can't I choose another level when I have problems with my current one? And the hints suck bigtime, they don't help - at all.

good concept, reminds me alot of fantastic contraption, but way to picky, and the upgrade system is stupid, should just be a series of levels that automatically give you new items when you beat the lvl
3/5 for concept
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
beat the game... fun, but it'd be a LOT better if the hit detection wasn't so finicky. made it way too hard for what it should be, and became about pixel perfect placement instead of solid strategy / puzzle solving.

I have to give this 3/5. Very good concept, but ruined by the extremely specific parameters for each level. What I mean is that if you don't do it his way, you don't win the level. However, it is well made. Needs better instructions.

could make much more interesting and truly complex arrangements using a slightly different rule for bonuses. try longest non-repeating sequence of collisions with props; with only 3 props one could (in theory) make the system go 1,2,3,1,3,2,3,1,2,2,3,2.... This would allow for very complex "Machines"
