I stumbled on this the other day. The game is called Crayon Physics and it’s pretty much what it sounds like. You can make a crayon drawing of simple shapes like squares and circles and curves. The objects you create begin obeying the laws of physics (gravity and Newton’s laws of motion mainly). So a square drawn in the air falls to the ground. A circle drawn on a slope begins to roll. The first version is pretty simple. On each level you have to move the ball to the star. You can drop things on the ball to get it to roll, you can set up obstacles, build bridges, etc. It’s ingenious.
The next version will hopefully roll out soon. No telling though since it’s a guy working in his spare time. But looks to be excruciatingly cool. Watch me play one level while trying to record it on my cell phone.
Wow, that is WAY cool. Almost cool enough to get a Tablet PC :) Did you see the main site where you can have him email you when it’s done? http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/
I forgot to leave my comment after originally checking this app out. It is definitely completely awesome. The toughest one was the one with the three rotating platforms. After I figured out a solution for each, I played them over and over again until I could solve them all without losing a single ball… Does that say something about me?
It is nearly as cool as Line Rider… Perhaps when it is complete, it will be cooler than Line Rider (definitely has that potential…)
