Fantastic Contraption game

Dan, if you saved your designs they should still be there. Go to "my designs" at the top of the main menu and you can see everything you've done.

I wanna see that trebuchet.

My solution to # 20:

This happens when their server gets overloaded. Also, sometimes it will show you a person's contraption, but then say "Restricted" when you try to run it. From time to time, try the links again. If the load isn't too bad, it will take you to other people's designs and you can run them.

I'm glad everybody is having a great time with this!

[edit] Man, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried a hundred variations on the wall climber for the Tube, and nothing will generate any traction. I've done all kinds of scissors things that should generate outward pressure as the compress, but nothing will bite for me.

[edit]

I haven't saved all my early designs, but here're a few of mine:

Back 'n' Forth

Awash crawler/excavator

Big Ball

Stairs - landing craft

Unpossible - possible, but not very imaginative

Cool, you're right Jay. Here's the trebuchet. Although its more like a catapult I guess, with a trebuchet style release.

FTMFW. Damn. Mad f-ing Fantastic Contraption skillz, y0.

We're not worthy.

Kinda scary how this one worked.

LOL this one is so simple. You guys are doing some amazing designs.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=549781

So I'm legitly proud of this one. I was stuck on that level all day. Well when I wasn't at work that is...

Hey check this one out. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=551770

The Clawer

CLAWWW

wow, I just watch the 20 levels in 5 minutes vid. Amazing how simple some of his solutions are!

The SHOVER!

SHOVED

It underwent a lot of modifications to fit under the shelf and clear the side of the ball at the end so there are some water rods I couldn't get to flapping around. I only did it this way because I felt they really wanted me to use a projectile type solution and I wanted to see if I could overpower it.

This is my only saved solution... because conveyors are boring :)

blocked by firewall at work makes me a sad panda.

Welp, I still haven't beat "Unpossible." I am officially abandoning this idea and starting anew. The original intent was to chain the ball to the launcher and have it swing into the finish but that makes it too heavy to clear the top platform. If one of you think you can get it to work, be my guest.

The next attempt is going to be a little bit different...

This "Up the Stairs" level is starting to really piss me off.

Ditto. I thought about popping my laptop out and driving around the neighborhoods near my building to pirate some wireless. I need my fix!

Wasn't trying to beat the level so much as make a useful complex pulley system... it's not as clean as I'd like, but I think I spent enough time on it haha

Check It Out!

This sounds cool, I'll check it out when I'm on a computer that has the newest flash version.

Here's my solution to Handling.

And I got tired of vehicles, so I made a thrower for The Wall.

It'd be cool if they added "chain" or "rope" as one of the building parts. And a way to make it cinch tight.

I've been sketching out ideas on paper to try out when I get home. Awesome game!

God d@mn you all for leading me to this page. I'm so addicted I may have to enter a 12 step program.

Here's my big ball... http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=501386

Interesting use of leverage, I opted for speed...

I'm having a hell of a time with "four balls"...still can't get it after about half an hour.
