The name is dumb enough to be a Marc Ecko production but it's just not ugly enough. I'm confused.

I remember the old days of The Incredible Machine back in my early high school years, man. That and the original PC release of Tetris were the two games I used to play all the time before, during, and after shop class.

I haven't even looked at the QL yet but I'm betting this is a TIM ripoff.

The incredible machine inside of me is cringing slightly at their attempts to solve these puzzles.

I mean... They are so easy. It's like TIM for casuals.

If you want a great Incredible Machines Rip off that is probably better then the Incredible Machine then get Crazy Machine on steam.

If Ryan understood physics, then it wouldn't be trial and error as much.

That said, the constant switching of top & bottom screens is a terrible design choice. That switching kind of made me sick.

For a Marc Ecko produced game, you'd think he'd care about the visual aesthetics of it. Everything about how this looks is bland and terrible.

I was really excited for Getting Up and seeing all this cool graffiti lore come to life before the game started throwing a bunch of riot cops at me to beat up.

Oh, so it was designed by Marc Ecko. With a set of tracing paper. Because this game already exists.

No lady on earth actually "hearts" geeks. What you "heart" is guys who look good wearing glasses. No one likes the acne faced one with zero social skills.

I don't know that I would call a month and a half a "long-ass time". But yeah, sure, they're doing Quick Looks for games that have been out for a bit.

@Landon:

I don't know that you need zero social skills to be called a "geek" these days. The word once had that meaning, but I think usage now tends toward people who are obsessive in their interests or have non-mainstream interests. Neither of those things preclude social skills.

For the record, Patrick is dead wrong on one thing: The Incredible Machine had mad physics, there was even a slider in the options menu that let you change the strength of gravity or change the effect of physics on the level to be as if it were underwater or in space.

I loved The Incredible Machine. Thinking about that game makes me warm and fuzzy inside like most people do for Mario on the NES.

With that said, this is not The Incredible Machine. Boo it.

EDIT:

There seem to be a bunch of TIM-like games on iOS. Are there any good ones?
