    Just play contraption maker. This type of game does not work well in 3D, at least not here. From the little amount I've played, there is one solution only, and every item you're given is needed for that one solution. UI glitches, I noticed inconsistent physics with different runs of the same object layout, and you can't even rotate items?? I didn't enjoy it as much as contraption maker, and contraption maker looks like a flash game... Pretty sure it doesn't even take advantage of the 3rd…

    I don't like a game that won't tell me what I should do But even if they would tell me, I am someone who won't read, so this game is not bad, me is bad I know but I felt I am threw to somewhere that I don't understand any piece of bit world suddenly when I start this game so... I just bought this game because it was 120 yen and thought maybe not so bad game maybe I can create something? like that level and I bought But yes.. it was difficult for me to understand but I could clear level 1,…

    Crazy Machines 3 Unleash your inner inventor and watch chaos unfold—where physics meets mad creativity! 🛠️💥 Crazy Machines 3 is a wild, physics-based puzzle game that challenges you to build intricate Rube Goldberg-style contraptions to solve quirky problems. With a huge toolbox of parts—gears, pulleys, balloons, rockets, and more—you’re limited only by your imagination (and gravity). The game turns everyday objects into components of elaborate machines that chain-react in…

    This game is... ok, I guess. It reminds me of the old Incredible Machine games that I played in the 90s. (Yes, I'm old.) But it lacks the same character, and the interface is quite lacking. Connecting the different parts of the machines can be fickle, and gears are really annoying (trying to match the teeth up to get it to fit). However, they're decently fun puzzles, and the machines are mildly entertaining. It's currently on sale for $0.99 (90% off), and I'd say it's worth that price. I…

    This game scratches an itch I never thought I had. It is satisfying in a very weird way. Think about the Rube Goldberg machines but on steroids. The puzzles are quiet clever and respect the user's intelligence, so you will be getting a lot of A HA! moments with the game. For few bucks, you'll be getting at least 80 puzzles plus few bonus stages and of course steam workshop. I highly recommend it if you're into puzzle games in general. I always wanted to build these as a kid but never had the…

    Tentative Recommendation Decent physics-based puzzle game that serves as a spiritual successor to 1993’s The Incredible Machine. Completing the various Rube-Goldberg machines is satisfying enough, but the mostly flat difficulty and occasional physics issues make for a game that doesn’t quite live up to its potential. 5.5/10

    Crazy Machines 3 is basically a giant sandbox of physics-based chaos, and if you enjoy building ridiculous contraptions, it’s incredibly fun. The game is all about solving puzzles by combining different machines, tools, and physics interactions to complete objectives. One minute you’re using fans and balloons to move objects across a room, and the next you’re creating absolute nonsense involving lasers, explosions, electricity, and farm animals. What makes the game enjoyable is that it…

    Crazy Machines 3 is a playful yet demanding physics-based puzzle game that celebrates creativity, logic, and the joy of watching absurdly complex contraptions either succeed brilliantly or fail spectacularly. Developed by Fakt Software and published by Daedalic Entertainment, it continues the long-running Crazy Machines tradition by offering players a digital sandbox where engineering curiosity is rewarded and experimentation is not just encouraged but required. Rather than focusing on…

    This game reminds me of my child hood when it was "the incredible machines" and I always loved the difficulty and challenge of it that made it worth while to test your brain and out the box thinking. I love games like this in general like portal and others and will recommend this

    I actually like it. I liked 1 & 2 to an extent, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they were daunting experiences, and the graphics just made it ultra hard to actually see what you're doing half of the time. The presentation in 3 is nice, but the main levels are a lot more, well, simplified compared to the predecessors. They usually follow a certain theme, and don't allow a lot of leeway in how you actually place things, making the solution in many cases very strict. Overall, I'd still recommend it, because other…

    I figured I would just play the easy and medium levels before quitting. I ended up getting addicted and played all 80 base campaign levels. I uninstalled after that to escape the rabbit hole, considering 9 hours and 80 puzzles victory enough. :D The game looks really nice, seems to have few bugs (I only noticed a crash on exit once and had to close via Task manager), and isn't TOO hard. However, especially towards the end there are a lot of puzzles where you adjust things by 1 square…

    Very clever and entertaining physics puzzles with a dose of humor. Sometimes the directions and clues are a bit fuzzy, and I do need now and again to peek at YouTube walkthroughs. The objects to be manipulated can be a bit sticky with the mouse. But as a whole a great deal, especially if you wait for a Steam sale, as I did, and pick the game up for a buck.

    I like this game when it's a puzzle game about making Rube Goldberg contraptions. I like it rather less when it's a set of primitive arcade challenges with horrible lag and frame drops for no good reason. The former is the majority of the game, unless you care about acheivements.
