Crazy Machines is an adaptation of the award winning PC and Nintendo DS franchise with the same name, the game allows you have all that challenging fun on your iPhone and iPod Touch . This type of game is not new to the iPhone platform, there are others like, Enigmo and Fantastic Contraption , the letter being a highly addictive game that had incredible success.

Your aim in Crazy Machines is to setup contraptions in such a way that you complete the tasks given to you by the wacky Professor. Crazy contraption gives you freedom in achieving your task , you are given a certain number of items that you can link together in one continuous gizmo.

The designers give free rein to your imagination and unleash the most incredible of chain reactions!
The tasks are complex and vary from simple : get a ball to a designated location to more intricate ones like : have a billiard ball drop onto a lamp switch and turn it on. This, in turn, will shine through a magnifying glass to light a candle, which in turn heats the boiler of a steam engine, which drives a windmill, which blows a basketball through a basketball hoop, and so on and so forth…!

“In the secret laboratory of the crazy Professor, players have to solve various tricky experiments. Several half-finished machines the professor invented a long time ago have to be finished. The aim is to trigger a chain reaction to complete the processes the Professor forgot decades ago. For every challenge, players have a limited number of elements at their disposal. Not only must players race against time to complete the tasks, but also deal with varying gravitational pulls depending on whether you find yourself on earth, the moon or in outer space!”

At the beginning of the game you go through a series of tutorial missions that are very clear and quickly take you through the basics of the game.

Crazy Machines has two modes , a puzzle one in which you go through the 50 levels one by one and a “Construction Kit” one. In the construction kit you are given free hand in devising your own levels . You are put in front of a blank board and you have at your disposal the entire arsenal of 70 elements that you can place , the only boundary is your own imagination. A great plus that the designers could add in future updates would be to allow you to share these levels online and challenge your friends with them.

Controls:
The controls are touch based and very intuitive , everything you need is where it should be. In addition to this you can move the button side bar by dragging it either to the left or the right side of the screen.
You add elements by opening a menu in the side bar and taping on it. Once it is on the board if you tap it again a menu pops up around it, this allow you to change its angle , position and many more. You also have a play button that starts your contraption , if the task isn’t achieved taping it again resets the entire gizmo.
