Point of Vu

Contraption Lab

Build contraptions out of junk. Sometimes you need to get a ball in a basket, pop a balloon, or… park it on a cat’s bed?

Every level gives you a ball, a place it needs to end up, and a pile of junk to get it there. You build something out of ramps and fans and magnets and the occasional rocket, then you hit Go and find out if it works. Usually it doesn’t work the first time, and that’s the fun part.

Level 12, Toy Box: a long wooden ramp running the width of the screen with a football rolling down it, a row of fans and a teddy bear on the right, and the basket up on a shelf above them. Level 21, Assembly Line: a ramp feeding two powered conveyor belts, with a football on the lower belt, a seesaw and a wall between it and the basket on the factory floor. Level 26, Double Trouble: five conveyor belts, a seesaw and two rocket pads strung across a purple space background, with two footballs in play and one basket to get both of them into.

Description

There are 100 levels across 12 chapters, and each chapter gives you one new idea and then spends the rest of the chapter asking what else you can do with it. The Factory runs on conveyor belts. The Magnet Mine pulls the ball sideways when you want it to go down. The Observatory makes it fall upward. The Portal Lab makes distance stop mattering. The Cat Café has a cat.

You have 15 parts to work with. There are ramps, fans, seesaws, balloons, conveyor belts and rocket launchers. There are magnets that pull, bumpers that give speed back and springs that fire straight up. There’s ice you can’t stop on and glue you can’t move on, pools that float things, pads that flip gravity, and portals that link to each other. There’s also the cat.

Winning isn’t always the same thing either, and there are 7 ways to do it. You can land it in the basket, pop a balloon or cut one loose, deliver an egg without breaking it, ring a bell hard enough to hear, or send it down a drain gently and from above. You can also park it on the cat’s bed and hold it there for 3 seconds, which is the only goal you win by doing nothing.

Every level has a par, which is the number of parts a tidy solution needs. Any win unlocks the next level, but only an efficient win earns 3 stars. Most boards can be brute-forced on the first try and solved properly on the third.
