    How do you successfully punch an Egyptian statue in the face? How do you shoot a kettle from the head of a clumsycorn with a 'high precision crossbow'? How do you jumpstart the grey-matter-engine of that old junker of a space taxi?

    Find out in Crazy Machines 3!

    Prepare yourself for the ultimate playground of vast Rube Goldberg style possibilities!

    Use physical systems to your advantage, no matter if it's electricity, explosions, lasers, lightning, or wind. By tinkering with chips you can delve into even deeper detail and provide objects with individual properties. Nothing is impossible. If you don't like that wooden plank, take your pick from different materials like metal or stone and change the size, rotation and color. It is, after all, your own machine...

    If you were the kind of child who has sat knee deep in Lego making spaceships and buildings or were found surrounded by the guts of a clock looking up at bewildered parents. Crazy Machines 3 will engage you for a long time to come, if for no other reason than so you can work out new and interesting ways to shoot pigs on skis into space!

    A clever puzzle game with physics and fantastic and diverse level design that doesn't offer any help, though.

    The folks at Fakt Software have created a winner in the puzzle genre.

    While I do appreciate the game retaining the quirky and simplistic nature of the older versions, I’m a little disappointed it doesn’t bring much more innovation to the genre.

    Have you ever found yourself wasting time on YouTube watching videos of complicated mechanisms built by industrious people in their living rooms? If you always wanted to join the fun, but lacked the space or craftsmanship, Crazy Machines 3 may be the right answer.

    In times of roomscale tinkering like Fantastic Contraption the conservative experiments of Crazy Machines 3 feel a bit outdated, but still manage to deliver solid puzzle fun.

    Get ready to scream obscenities at your screen while trying to guess the exact placement of the umpteenth wooden plank down to the pixel. Yep, this "feature" that plagued all the previous games in this series, has managed to slip through yet again.

    Really cool game with pre-built machines and there's room for inventions to build own machines with all kind of wacky stuff. Whoever likesReally cool game with pre-built machines and there's room for inventions to build own machines with all kind of wacky stuff.

The only significant downside is the achievements, which are largely unrelated to solving the puzzles. Solving the many puzzles however, was great fun. Expand

    It would be a nice introduction to kids to the genre of building Rube Goldberg machines, but I feel it is inferior in every way to the old TIMIt would be a nice introduction to kids to the genre of building Rube Goldberg machines, but I feel it is inferior in every way to the old TIM games. Still relaxing. Expand
