From ericberlinblog comes a link to what may be the most addictive physics simulation game ever

Edited to add: So far, my best scores on the demo rounds are 34, 50, 56, 52, 170, and 68. I'm particularly proud of the 170 on the drop!

Ahem. Say hello to the guy who got 180 on that Drop round. :)

Grrr. So far, I've improved to 48, 116, 108, 70, 170, and 146. But now I will go back to the drop round. :-)

Aha! Got the 180! Thanks for shaking me out of my complacency! :-)

This is evil!

I've been playing this instead of sleeping -- bad bad bad!

Anyway, on the first five rounds I've managed:
48, 132, 110, 72, and 188.

I'm going to sleep instead of working on void 2 now...

Don't get too complacent!

Okay, that $188 solution is brilliant.

Okay, so I see how to get 180 on the drop, and I can get 124 on "Mind the Gap", but -- at least as far as the demo is concerned -- the truly ingenious, Goldbergian structures get penalized. My "best" structures, money-left-wise, are awful. They generally work only because I manage to start the structure from exactly the right height before turning on gravity. If I can get the critter to dematerialize half a second before he rolls off the platform and into oblivion, I've "succeeded" ... but it feels like such a cheap success.

And I cannot work out how that one guy got the $194 he claims on Drop! I tried to load his solution, but it just errored out (because I only have the demo currently -- I can't buy the full version just now).

The properties emulation looks very good, though, to my unschooled eye. It's very well done. If the full version has unlmited spending, or bonus points for using pivots, that'd be cool, and the sample "buy me!" builds are brilliant.

Nifty toy.
