Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

2-player coop

Two players can work together on building a machine at the same time, coming up with all sorts of wacky ideas, or perhaps even getting creative with a "machine vs. machine" type of creation. See More

Top Pro

Puzzles

There are over 200 puzzles for you to go through and figure out, from simple to complex, and often with one straightforward solution, but several alternate solutions. See More

Top Pro

No size limit

You can make machines as big as you want, with as many parts as you want. The only bottleneck is how much your own computer can take. See More

The Incredible Machine

Top Con

Grid based

Unlike more modern physics based contraption makers, The Incredible Machine is entirely grid based and deterministic. This means if you place the same thing in the same place, the same thing will happen. No variation, RNG, or physics. See More
