Looks like a simplified version of TIM.

As far as Patricks comments go, TIM did have physics but the grid for object placement was way less granular, making for more focus on solving the puzzles and less on placement guessing.

I don't know why but the art style really bothers me. Just seems really crude.

If any of you are itching for some contraption puzzle games, I had some fun with Crazy Machines 2 on Steam.

Stupid name and a lame game. Didn't bother to even watch for it for 10 minutes. Thanks for the Quick Look though ^^

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.

Indeed. I think the thing that got him confused is that all the TIM games were firmly grid based, so it was easy to find that one spot where the physics would line up the way they were intended to. In this game it looks like you could design levels that need pixel precision just to get things to go where you want. That's not good.

This looks like it would work better as an eshop release, instead of a full retail game.

i have to say... lacking the patience to attempt to come to an understanding of how each aspect of the puzzles work and 'a bunch of trial and error' are not the same thing,.
