    Creative and fun, great music too. Learning curve is progressive. A very good game to play with the kids.

    This is not a horrible game, but I simply cannot recommend this game, because the terrible design choices kept piling up and frustrating me. It's a close call and I wanted to like this, but I just can't. Let's get the positives out of the way. Contraption Maker is a modern take on a true nostalgia bomb, The Incredible Machine (TIM). And thankfully the core gameplay is virtually unchanged. There is a decent variety…
