I honestly never thought I'd get to experience this feeling again. The Incredible Machine was one of the games that defined my childhood, and for so many years I wished someone would bring it back. The moment I launched Contraption Maker, it felt like I was a kid again. Thank you for preserving the spirit of the original while giving it new life. This isn't just a great puzzle game—it's a piece of my childhood brought back to life. Thank you for making it possible!

Finding a solution is satisfying—but building an absurdly overengineered one is even better. 😂⚙️ The physics sandbox is the real star.

If you enjoy engineering, logic games, or sandbox creativity, there's always another challenge waiting. 🌍🔧 Some puzzles become quite difficult, and the interface can take a little time to learn. But once you're comfortable with the tools, it's incredibly rewarding to watch your crazy inventions come to life. 🚀 I needed one gear to solve the puzzle... so naturally I built a machine with…

I absolutely loved the original TIM, this game takes that same flavor and adds a heap of new features/mechanics, and a ton of puzzles.
