Our take on Awesome Machine
Instead of using simulation for management or resource control, the game turns physics into a chain-reaction puzzle format. Its structure asks players to arrange varied objects so one action produces the next step toward a completed machine.
What is Awesome Machine?
Awesome Machine is a Rube Goldberg-style puzzle game about assembling contraptions with simulated physics.
Its story follows a scientist creating a machine intended to generate clean electricity while the world faces an energy crisis. The campaign leads through different locations and 50 levels, where players use technology, trampolines, balls, explosives, and other tools to construct working solutions. More than 100 interactive objects include lasers, cannons, dynamite, levers, ramps, and balls. Each level allows multiple completion methods, and tips can provide guidance when a puzzle becomes difficult. The game centers on experimenting with object combinations and building the larger Awesome Machine over the course of the campaign.
