Crazy Machines 3
A hyper-realistic simulation with plenty of physical puzzles awaits! Did ever wonder what a leaping-laser-mouse-bomb would look like? Or better yet: what it's capable of? Then be ready for your very own ultimate playground with possibilities you didn't know you could imagine. Use physical systems to your advantage, no matter if it’s electricity, explosions, lasers, lightning, or wind. By tinkering with chips you can provide objects with individual properties, like floating, rotation or weight. Nothing is impossible. If you don't like that wooden plank, take your pick from 15 different materials and millions of colors. It is, after all, your own machine... Additionally, we also let you use the Steam Workshop to gain access to an unending supply of puzzles and machines to implement into your game. And when you build your ultimate machine, you can share it with the whole world with a single click.
What it feels like
The absurdist concept of 'leaping-laser-mouse-bomb' and emphasis on creative tinkering invite lighthearted experimentation and mischief. Physics puzzle design encourages reflection and planning before execution.
How it plays
Physics-based puzzle solving is the explicitly stated core mechanic, with manipulation of realistic physical systems like explosions, lasers, and wind as primary tools. Players construct custom machines from scratch with no predefined solutions, freely combining materials, properties, and physical elements to achieve desired outcomes. Includes a built-in level editor and Steam Workshop integration for creating and sharing custom puzzles and machines with the community.
How it's structured
Few imposed objectives; players set their own goals within a creative playground where almost any physical interaction is possible. Steam Workshop access and the ability to create infinite custom machines provide extensive replay value beyond the base puzzles. Explicitly designed and marketed as a single-player experience, though Workshop sharing enables indirect community interaction.
