Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game

This is a great game, unfortunately it’s a bit quick but i highly recommend this game! The graphics are very good as well as the music both are very reminiscent of the style one would suspect rube goldberg may have utilized if he were still around creating cartoons today. This game both makes you think and is very amusing at the same time. I don’t know about mr siskel or ebert but i give this thing two thumbs up!

Fun little game! It mixes in some humor and sillyness with a bit of history. Nice puzzle challanges that will keep you occupied, and feeling satisfied when you get them done. If you like Rube Goldberg machines, this is worth getting.

If anyone remembers watching the old Looney Tunes cartoons where some crazy contraption was created to cause mayhem to some unsespecting character, you'll enjoy this game. And if you didn't, you'll still enjoy it! I never knew of the mobile version, so I went in pretty new. I can see how it was a mobile game based on how the controls worked, but it wasn't too difficult using a mouse. The developer might be looking into options to make it a bit more mouse friendly, but it didn't take away any enjoyment from playing it. The game can be addicting like chips, so you might go through it quickly just to get that "one more" puzzle done, so I try to play only 1 or 2 puzzles a day to extend my enjoyment from it. Very fun game to play at a great price and across three platforms. Now, excuse me, I have to find a cat, a rubber ball, some cheese, a hamster, wet socks, a plate, some string, and a scale...I seemed to have misplaced my keys.

Tags: Casual - Mechanical & Assembly Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from library TLDR: Think bad rats but with more surreal puzzles and strange objects and less gore and edge. Oustanding Issues: +Unity Engine +Cheap 3D +Camera panning is useless since you are in one room +Mousewhell does not zoom you need on-screen hud button for that +Stringing objects is a tedious clickerfest +Moon logic and arbitrary use for objects +Objects have invisible tiny hitboxes inside them that you have to pixelhunt for. It is ridiculous, you spend several minutes clicking everywhere panning the camera uselessly and just when you are about to give up you find a tiny spot where it sticks. +Tablet-like presentation with 3 star system +No music +Limited audio +Restrictive puzzle design, no sandboxing +No setting or story. Just dumped in rooms with nonsensical puzzles.

An absolute delight to play. I've thoroughly enjoyed mucking about with the various objects and seeing the fresh environments, objects and challenges each level provides. Additionally, when I first started the game I had a bit of a problem with it, and the devloper responded very quickly to my post in the discussions regarding the issue. As it turned out, this wasn't caused by the game itself, and was resolved by simply rebooting my computer. So not only did it turn out that the developer was very helpful, but the game itself was never at fault and runs flawlessly. A great experience overall and a fantastic tribute to Rube Goldberg's wonderful and inventive illustrations.

I like it. It's a short and sweet game that allows me to question myself on different levels. I would say 8/10, there are a few bugs here and there (like snapping the wire instad of shooting the bucket. But that's about it.)

This is a relatively short puzzle game where you reconstruct genuine Rube Goldberg machines as penned by Rube Goldberg himself. If you complete the puzzle exactly as Rube did it, you get to see his original cartoon for the machine, and learn a few Rube Goldberg facts. The graphics are charming and of sufficient quality that they're not irritating or distracting. The puzzles are fairly casual, but not so frustrating that you get stuck or annoyed. The hints help. I was able to finish the game in one sitting, but I think it was time well spent. Runs bug free in 4K, and although sometimes object placement is a bit finnicky, the controls are also tolerable. It does feel a bit like a tablet game but the PC port is of good enough quality that you don't really notice. Not sure it's worth the off-sale price of $5USD, but the developers achieved exactly what they set out to do.

Excellent Rube Goldberg based game, interactive and sometimes challenging levels kept me engaged for many hours. Highly recommend

Very fun and educational game, I like the music very much as well.

A very charming and affordable puzzle that has you recreate classic kooky cartoon inventions. When I was a kid there was a collection of Rube goldberg cartoons at the local library so I might be the perfect audience for this type of game. I do feel like they could have got a bigger soundtrack... A MUST for fans of early american comics. I love how they show you the original cartoon if you get perfect on a puzzle.
