Comment: Crazy Machines 1.5, Windows Vista
= Game Objective ==
Crazy machine has 100+ levels. Each level offers the player a palette of items such as cannons, balls, battery, light-bulb, timer-switch, steam-engine, dynamite, levers, fuse-wire, gears, dynamo, drive-belts, planks, toy-robots, electric-wires and host of other objects. These objects are to be arranged/manipulated by the player on the game board.
Each level presents an objective to be met - example, turn a sequence of levers to flick a timer switch which will activate a magnet which in turn will draw a ball to the target hole ...
Basically, in each level, construct a Rube-Goldberg machine in 2D animation. Note that the objects and their dynamics/characteristics are always governed by basic principles of physics.
Alike any puzzle type game, the levels get progressively harder.
== Review ===
- This is an extremely enticing interactive game. My 7 year old son & I (Dad) play this routinely, and we are ever so eager to take on the next level. These puzzles nurture several aspects of young minds:
o It challenges their analytical thinking, however this is applicable no matter what the players age is, be it 6 or 75.
o It is a basic science education for kids: such as, how to connect up a circuit, how to couple gears to get a desired speed ratio/direction etc.
Most importantly, it is challenging yet entertaining at the same time, i.e. a level might even take 15mins or longer without any breakthrough, but it will never give one a dead-end feeling which would have otherwise discouraged one to the extent of giving up !
- The graphics are 2D w/ shadow effect, not so high end, but more than adequate for the purpose.
- We both adore the background music & sound effects. Quite dramatic !
- One in our top5 father-son activities.
== Wish List ===
- User has no control over which level to play - the levels are progressive, rightfully resumes from where one left off. Would be nice to have limited control as opposed to none.
- How about letting one player create a puzzle/level so that another player can solve it ?
- Too bad this CDROM, ver 1.5 is Windows only, my son's new computer is a MAC !
