Fantastic Contraption Classic 1 & 2

One of the greatest games of my young gaming life and glad to have a way to play it again. Physics based puzzle solving in a simple and creative way. 10/10

As much as I *deeply* loved FC 1 & 2 back in the day, I just CAN NOT recommend a new player to buy this at the price of $10 (or even $5) unless it’s solely to support the devs. I’m glad the game didn’t disappear with Flash, but this Steam version is exclusively for archival or reliving your nostalgia. It lacks all functionality you’d expect from a PC game in the last decade, like really basic QoL stuff. No settings menu, the volume is literally on or off, the online functionality is essential to the game yet barely functional (and allegedly very insecure), the game resolution is small and can’t be changed, it seems to be stuck in a halloween mode and the sky is full of obnoxious ghost clouds, to switch between FC 1 and 2 you have to change your boot options, FC 1 is missing hotkeys for several functions, etc. Please still support Northway Games though, it seems they’ve made some fantastic games since FC back in 2008. They were very upfront about this just being for archival, I respect that!

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.

Played this game back when it was a browser game. It is a great game to share puzzles with a friend and just create something and challenge each other back and forth. Suggested Ways To Play: Create a level (solve it yourself before presenting it others). Then challenge a friend to solve. Create a blank map with a goal ball in center, and one person can build on one side the other on the other side. And, you go back and forth on who can claim the ball at the center (without building in the center zone).

bro is NOT a engineer 😭😭
