Quick Look: Contraption Maker

People repping the Incredible Machine AND making unironic Bad Ratz references? I don't even know what to think of the internet anymore.

The next person that makes one of these games needs to get it sponsored by Rube Goldberg.

I just. Math

There's a problem with this video. You can hear game sound over the intro bumper. That's not how it's supposed to be, the only thing you should hear is the intro chord! This is unacceptable. These new guys are ruining everything! @drewbert pls help

MATH!

These kinds of games hurt my brain.

This game looks great but MAN..WHO designed those TERRIBLE characters?!

No, I definitely read it like that as well. What a let down.

Hi Jeff and Dan thanks for the solution to Rope Boards in the Tutorial. I was having a real hard time with that one. You guys are the best. Thumbs up.

The level with all the tools sounded like a hellish nightmare, cats flying all over.

Cool game, I wish they played the hardest level to see what crazy stuff is at the end. Well we saw that one user created level that was insane!!

This was the hardest quick look to watch =_=

The sort of quick look that makes me want to buy the game just so I can burn through the puzzles myself (I've done it before!)

I'm pretty sure he died around 40 years ago.

RIP Indiana Tim.

The sequel, build a Rube Goldberg machine that manufactures condoms.

You see what you want to see.

Dan has recorded over 9000 solutions on this game.

I think Rube Goldberg just made paintings of these kinds of "machines."

The Incredible Machine LIVES! Fuck yeah, I'm in.

This concept is old as shit, still works though.

A Quick Look on Monday? Fantastic! This game actually looks pretty fun.

Watching Jeff fumble with the controls was great.

MATH. So much content since the new guys joined, loving it.

I remember having a lot of fun with the Incredible Machine back on our Compaq Presario back in the day. Not the biggest puzzle game fan but that one got me pretty good. Might have to give this some time.

If that is what turkey basters look like where Dan is from I'm a bit afraid.

No, I believe that it was his brother Lube Goldberg.

Yup. Exactly what I was thinking.

corruption maker

those must be magic switches....

I might buy this purely for the fact that I forgot that incredible machine was a game

Good quick look guys enjoyed it

Woah that's taken me back some 20 years or so. Loved the TIM games.

I quite enjoyed the Crazy Machine Elements that came out a few years ago and I'm still glad to see this kind of game being made. It's a concept that works well, especially when you see the crazy shit that can be made.

Am I the only one who initially read "Contraception Master"?

Who is Dan and why does his audio sound like shit??

@drockus: Agreed it looks ok, but basically the same...minus the charm of the original.

Let Dan use it as a turkey baster

Add me to the half dozen or so people who see this as "Contraception Maker" every time I see the title printed. They had a few stations at PAX Prime last year on the floor outside the hall where Divekick was, and I did a double take EVERY DAMN TIME I walked by them.

All Rube Goldberg machines should involve cats.

So this basically is The Incredible Machine. Fine by me.

Algorithms!

Do you know who else loves dominoes? Hatsune Miku.

This looks close to the least fun I could have playing a video game. The art and music don't help.

Ah, this is how I remember it, all the good stuff's still here. The original is now cringingly stiff and oldish but this will do just fine. Don't give this to younglings or they'll grow up understanding conveyor belt logic. My nephew needs this in his life asap.

So, if I go play The incredible machine I'll get pretty much the same experience?

They're called Heath Robinson Contraptions.

Oh no... my brain T_T

Thats one cool gif. Cant quite match that, but I did recently build this, which is kinda the same thing, right?

before I clicked on this I thought it said "Contraception Maker"

Was I the only one screaming for Jeff to play the pachinko machine at the end?
