The best engineering game ever???

Sorry if this has been posted before. If not, prepare to lose the rest of your week!! More addictive than crack... I would guess. And cheaper... and probably less likely to cause long term health issues. (Hair loss is a side-effect however!!)

this game is far too addictive. I've finished it now.
some levels require fairly counterintuitive designs.

tube level is interesting, that was one that I got fairly quickly

I've bought the full version, would be well up for a locost builders league.

Fortunately I'm away for the next 2 weeks and won't be able to get to a computer so it'll give me a break. All I've done recently is play this bloody game. Time for a small break, But I'll be back.

I must be as thick as a brick because I couldn't understand what the point was. Move things to the other side. Hmmmm. Are drugs a big thing in the UK???

yep - very good game.

take a peek at the forum; there is one thread about using non powered wheels -think it is "green soloutions".

All of the levels can be solved using gravity as the moitive force, no need for powered wheels.

That is the next challenge.

Sadly I spent too much time on it already so don't really want to spend anymore.

Groan! I started down that road a few weeks ago and took ages to let it go again. I think some of the levels are physically impossible with only green methods though TBH

first time around the site would crash on u-turn for me, its working now, so it was nice to come back to something new after awhile.

it beat it fairly quickly though, unlike other levels.

tempted to get the full version, but then I'd never get anything done.
