Contraption Maker is a physics-based puzzle game developed by Kevin Ryan and published by Top Meadow for PC. This sandbox title serves as an unofficial successor to The Incredible Machine, building on many of the ideas that made the original popular. 

Solve hundreds of puzzles 

With Contraption Maker, you can tackle over 200 official puzzles and explore more than 1,000 user-created challenges through the Workshop. The physics-based gameplay, amusing characters, and online multiplayer support for up to eight players provide plenty of opportunities for fun and challenge. 

The game further expands its possibilities with a built-in JavaScript editor, allowing users to create custom games, intricate machines, and imaginative puzzles. This impressive level of creative freedom helps keep the experience engaging for long periods. However, its cluttered interface and unclear icons can make learning and navigation difficult. 

A retro machine-building puzzle title 

Overall, Contraption Maker successfully captures the charm of classic machine-building puzzle games while offering modern features and extensive creative tools. The large selection of puzzles, active Workshop content, and multiplayer options provide lasting entertainment. While the creative potential is impressive, the confusing interface can occasionally hinder the overall experience.
