Fantastic Contraption - The best game of 2008?

With hundreds of new games being launched everyday on sites like Kongregate and Newgrounds it is getting very hard to find something new that really blows your socks off. Today I found one – Fantastic Contraption.



Like all great games it sounds really simple - by joining wheels together you must build a contraption to take an object from one point to another over various obstacles. Very quickly you’ll be creating simple vehicles and being rewarded with your first taste of success. So why is it so good? Take a look at other people’s creations and you’ll soon find out. Whilst your simple car may have proved functional, another users catapult device will leave you in awe. At this point you realise that it’s not just completing the challenge that matters – It’s all about style.

User generated content, endless solutions, simple game play that’s open to all ages and skill levels... Everything about this game says success.

Congratulations to Colin Northway and his team for creating such a fun and addictive concept. Expect to be seeing hundreds of different versions of this game across many platforms in the near future.
