I know a few of you already have this but i've just got it. All I can say about it is that it's absolutely excellent.

Definatley better than Incredible Machine (Ain't played that for years!)

I'm hooked!!

Absolutely, I'm loving it, I finished it in 2 days though, but I'm competing with my mate on price of the levels.

Can you beat level 5 - drop, I can get $188

Post me a screeny of your level 12 - Void 4, because I cant do it, ive tryed and tryed and I just cant fix it to work. need more money!

They are giving you all this cool gear to do things but not enough money to buy more then a few objects

peterattheboro · 29 Aug 2006 at 18:28

Much more elegant than mine! I just built a huge truss to support the cloth

Thats *** I tried doing at first, with the bottom most unmovable point, i built a little pipe and metal sheet stand to hold the ball once it had rolled down.

it didnt work.

Yeah, ive got the full version. Great little game. Best bit is that there are loads of new levels to download and try

ricky1981 · 29 Aug 2006 at 23:59

Awesome little game, the alphabet level kit is well worth a download.

Yeah i found that too. But when you just have a little helpful sneaky look at other peoples solution on the website. Some are just so obvious and that makes it even more annoying.

SiriusB · 30 Aug 2006 at 13:14

a lot of the best solutions use a bug in the game that gets you motion for nothing. They call it The Force! :eek:

It has something to do with the physics engine not being able to cope with objects intersecting, so it tries to move something out the way but the movement of the object pulls the other object with it, meaning the intersect is still there and basically its a never ending loop! Or at least until the structure collapses.

Check out the forum info is all there but so far its not working for me

I've tried it myself, and I can't get it working either. The metal bars have to be in the exact place for it to work! If you download a solution with one of these bugs in it and move one of the metal bars very slightly it doesn’t seem to work.

Needs to be very precise. Hence me not having been able to do it - no patience.

Ah, so that's what it is; 'the force', playing through I've have had a few things spring and bounce from nothing/intersections

Everytime I see this thread, I just want to shout "SOFT ON THE INSIDE, CRUNCHY ON THE OUTSIDE!!!"

Found this about a month ago
Was wondering how long it would be before someone posted about Armidillo Run

You should remove that, someones worked pretty hard coding this game and doesn't deserve you posting links to cracked copies of it.

I need help again, lvl 16 - Trigger.

Heres what I have so far:

http://www.vectorhostile.com/images/thisismine16trigger.JPG

Uhh well, the fabric and metal pulls the catch off launching the rocket lift thing, then the armadillo rolls down into the little baskit thing, the fabric then breaks and the metal sheets now pull the baskit with the armadillo in it up the hill into the zone. Theres another bit of rope stopping the baskit from being pulled over the ledge.

BUUTT its overbudget

lets see yours.
