    Found this on another forums when a member bought it to others notice. Thought I'd do the same here because it's brilliant :)

    http://fantasticcontraption.com/

    20 levels, 3 wheels, 2 types of joining rods. A move/edit tool and a delete tool.
    Looks quite simple but it can be very complex.

    The aim is to make a contraption to carry a shape to the red goal 'area'

    One of the best parts is that you can quickly sign up and save your creations online for others to see and send friends/forumites links to your best creations for them to view :clap:

    Try
    placing wheels around the ball/planet connecting them all till they are basically a ring of wheels going around the planet, connect one wheel to the shape with a water rod and then start ;)

    I imagine you could play it on PS3/Wii's internet browser. Given it's just a mouse and clicking :)

    I thought that too, would be a bit more difficult to accurately adjust some of the joining rods and stuff but still good none the less, with leaderboards for time taken to get to finish and co-op contraption building? hell yeah that'd be awesome

    Armadillo run is very similar, physics and so on. And is a blast! Granted its a demo, but still challenging.

    Physics are fun! Like the Aegia demos, who else played with those for like 2 hours? And it was just fabric physics with balls! :D
