Finally, I got some free time and polished off levels 19 & 20. Check them out

Here is my level 19, Back and forth. I thought I made a pretty cleaver contraption:

And here is my level 20, Unimpossible. This one took me a looooong time and many different designs. This is a huge complicated pile of crap but it gets the job done. After a while I pretty much threw K.I.S.S. out the window :yupyup:

Your #19 was a far simpler machine than mine... :gap:  Here's what mine was.

Your #20 and mine were somewhat similar.  :suprised:

Wow, your level 20 design is really cool! I love the tank tread around the whole vehicle idea. Of my failed attempts, I had a 3 wheeled vehicle that was similarly constructed like your vehicle within the tank tread you have. But I couldn't get it up the wall :tease:

This game is soo cool, it really pushes the limits of my creativity

That is awesome. TURBO said he completed this level without knocking over any of the pieces, I haven't tried doing this though, this is a cool solution!

Check out the links in the Credits. I haven't look at them yet, so someone else report back about them:
QuoteThose Who Came Before

Fantastic Contraption takes inspiration from some of the great physics games that are out there.

There are alot of really good physics games. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

    * Armadillo Run may be my favorite game ever
    * World of Goo puts a real-time spin on buliding games. It is Genius and super-fun.
    * Toribash is an incredibly imaginative turn-based physics fighting game
    * Fun-Motion is the site dedicated to physics games. Thanks for flying the flag for the genre.
    * The Incredible Machine. The great grand-daddy. The first, the classic. Fantastic Contraption is a homage to the hours I spent playing this great game.

Not really on topic...but does this sentence ,from above, drive anyone else crazy?

"Fantastic Contraption" is a homage to the many hours I spent playing this great game.

I changed the sentence up to make more sense to me. If I were to just read the original sentence, my mind leads me to think it needs a "s" on Contraption and a "many" before hours. But since the game is called "Fantastic Contraption" the "s" would not work in this instance. The "many" just makes the sentence more palatable for my mind. Just my take on how to change the sentence to make more sense.

It's still basically..."The game is a tribute to the time I spend playing the game".

Here is the level 44 design of mine, surprisingly this is my first design and it worked only after slight modifications ;)

EDIT: I just checked out everyone's designs above. Very nice, very nice :thumbs:

The author of these says he is trying to get the pink object to the goal where it stays there (doesn't roll of fall off the level regardless of time).

Check out this "interesting" Mars level:

Down under: Wow, I really like this solution!

Awash: This one seems tough to do without it rolling away and he made it
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=90337

Handling: I've seen other designs work without it rolling off the screen
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=91347

Tube: Strange solution, he made it work, but I was wondering how he was going to do this without the object falling back down
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=90970

Back and forth: hahaha NICE!
