regularkid-
are you planning any updates soon? i love this game, but it does need some interface tweaking. an undo button… plus it has an annoying habit of moving my objects over by a few pixels when i lift my finger from the pod. makes some level that require precision really tough.

Hi mek,

Yup, you're right…it's not a bug. The tutorial is really meant to hold your hand and only let you interact with items at certain times. The first tutorial allows you press "Start" once you've created the initial contraption, but doesn't let you press "Stop" ( don't worry though, you will have created a contraption that will succeed to get to that point ). The second tutorial will have you press the "Stop" button at certain points and the final tutorial gives you full control after explaining some last points about the game.

Hope that helps!

the first level, the tutorial might have a bug, the stop button doesn't work, but at least you can hit the skip button to bypass it, hope there aren't any other bugs, or maybe it isn't a bug, but not working because they dont explain its function till level two…

Some of the later levels seem to be literally impossible… but I thought that about some of the first 20 until I figured them out!

@ spiffyone

It was $6.99, but they dropped it right away. There was some drama about it if you check first couple pages of the thread.

This is definitely a must buy game for $2.99. I got hooked on the online version when someone in the forums mentioned it and said it should be ported. The downloadable levels really make it great too.

It's $2.99? Really? Last night when the thing went live on iTunes it was $6.99. I mean…I could've sworn I saw it at that price. Regardless, downloading ASAP. Thanks for the heads up.

The $3 price, a few levels of the flash game, and the fact that you can download other peoples levels is what convinced me to buy this.
