Perfect for nerds like myself lol
Being a mechanical engineer, I thought this game was a great idea. The way all the tools moved was kind of difficult to get used to, but eventually you get used to it. I got stuck on the 5th or 6th level (you had to raise the gear straight up and then into the bucket or w/e) but then I decided to stop because Im enough of a nerd as it is and I dont need to make things any worse. =] However, PLEASE get rid of the stupid account thing. Offer it as an option on the main menu, but do not make it an annoying pop up window that appears after every level. But anyways, great idea, these are the kinds of games I love.
Damn, first time a Newgrounds game made me think
The laws are pretty solid. I was using 2 conveyor belts with one engine, connecting them with a gears and a beam, needless to say I screwed up the beams placement, and it actually broke off from the strain. The controls are a pain however, the game insists lengthening a beam when I'm trying to turn it, but its really a matter how much you play with this. Most of the beginning levels you can just use beams built into triangles and let gravity do the work instead of the motors, so it costs less. As to mistermario, the conveyor belt can go left or right, its not their fault you don't know how to play with gears. Some of the increasingly difficult levels can take 20-40 minutes to figure out. My only problem with this game is the lack of information at the start, however if you tinker around with it, you can figure it out pretty easy.
im sorry
its not good at all it took me like 20 minutes to get gears to like move each other then i found out that the little conveyer belt thing only moves one way no matter how i put the ....... no
What the hell?
The beams fell through solid floors. That alone makes this game unlikable. Furthermore, the tutorial was poor, lacking an explanation of exactly how to manipulate placed objects. I did not enjoy this game, and I would hope you go to the trouble of fixing its problems to make it decently playable.
