If you're the sort of person who finds themselves poking around at the back of the washing machine to see what its little parts do, then the chances are there's a mad inventor inside you, trying his level best to come up with crazy contraptions to bust out. Why not spare him the hassle and set him loose on some puzzles in Crazy Machines?
As with earlier Crazy Machines games, the premise is simple: you're faced with the game's work space, a menu containing various doodads and something that needs to be done. Starting with various fixed pieces, it's your job to bring in and place other bits and bobs from the menu to solve the puzzle. You'll be completing tasks ranging from grilling tasty sausages with a pulley, gears, rubberbands and a candle, to firing a basketball using a cannon.
The pieces are grounded in real-world physics, meaning, for example, that a tennis ball will bounce pretty high but won't hit with as much force as, say, a billiards ball.
Crazy Machines Complete 2 brings with it plenty of new goodies to tinker with and lots of ways to put them together to solve each puzzle. You'll travel with the professor to far-flung locations such as the Caribbean, Alaska and China in your quest to solve puzzles. That's not the only way to connect with the rest of the world, either. You can share your creations online!
