We would like to apologize for republished machines! We made this as a "filler" episode while we focus on presenting a number of new videos to watch. This was meant to be a compilation of many machines we've already covered into one, longer video to enjoy a wider range of machines than usual.
My son and I love your videos especially ones about oversized vacuums and side mowers. We’d love to see a Lord Gizmo on space machines.
The goal in Crazy Machines 2 is to solve a seemingly simple problem (cook a hot dog, pop a balloon) by constructing a Heath Robinson / Rube Goldberg-esque machine.
The 3D game relies heavily on in-game physics and utilises NVidia PhysX. For any given puzzle, the player is provided with a collection of items e.g.
Ramps, springs, steam engines, electrical devices, gears, belts, and a large selection of other mechanical devices for converting and directing raw energy into useful motion. On the completion of each puzzle, the player is rewarded with points and a gold, silver, or bronze lug nut.
Not only does the created machine have to perform the assigned primary task, but might also complete one or more of the optional secondary tasks thus earning more points.
