Fantastic Contraption Classic 1 & 2
The original 2008 2D physics building game! With over 1.5 million players, Fantastic Contraption is a true classic.
Your goal is simple: move the red ball from the blue building zone to the pink goal area.
Your tools: wood rods (solid), water rods (pass through stuff), and wheels that turn clockwise or counterclockwise.
Your solutions: NEAR INFINITE. Players have saved over 10 million unique designs, solving levels with everything from cars to catapults to conveyor belts or just pure gravity.
Also bundled as a free bonus is Fantastic Contraption 2. The original 2010 sequel features magnets, moving platforms, and 66 new official levels. Only offline saving is supported.
The first 20 official levels of Fantastic Contraption Classic will still be available for free in your browser on the official site, until the world says goodbye to the Adobe Flash plugin at the end of 2020. This is the full paid version, which includes the level editor and access to 70 thousand user-made levels and 10 million shared designs, plus an extra 25 official levels and full music track.
A Fantastic Contraption account required to share designs or levels online, but not to play or save locally.

A blast from the past. Rest in peace Flash.
This might not be worth the $10, but it's worth something. The fact that this game is on steam at all is amazing. Instead of being lost to time without any way to play it, it is lost to time while still being available on steam. Sadly the community around this game fell apart along with Flash, but there are still a few people playing it every now and then. With some of the harder levels, it is more about spending time making overly complex contraptions, some might say... Fantastic Contraptions. I remember playing this game back in the day on my horrible school chromebook. This was unblocked because someone convinced the people at tech services that this was used for a computer/tech class. It never was, but that didn't matter. Either way, people were going to find ways to play games like this. People would be playing the Happy Wheels demo or whatever they could find on CoolMathGames.
5/10. History. Simple. Old/Retro

a long time ago this game was avl online on its own website and I played the hell out of it in 2010. Now that I have a kid, we are playing through it together. Absolutely great, and after I solve a level I love seeing the community answers.

Classic game. I used to play this on my iPhone 3g back in my Army days. We used to sit and play for hours. I haven't checked on this version, if there are some of the same physics exploitations. I remeber if you stacked enough small wood pieces, that gravity could pull things through solid objects. Anyway, I wish this would get ported to androids and modern phones. I need a part 3.

This was my childhood. I used to love and still love these games. Even though I was never (and am still not) any good at them. ;D

A wonderful time capsule back to flash games before 2010. It truly hasn't changed a bit, all the quirky charms are still here and I wouldn't have it any other way!
