First impressions are important, and I just would not recommend the game based upon what I have played nor do I have any interest in going any further. Really the tutorial is what kills it for me. Didn’t even make it to this puzzle, hence why this review is limited. It’s really just not my cup of tea so what I say here is kind of limited. I will also give credit that the music was pretty catchy and the animation was serviceable. I don’t think it is a bad game though, as I consider it more of a “you get out of it what you put into it” kind of deal. I am sure that I can figure out how the actual puzzles can work given enough time, but this game doesn’t make me want to. Normally a game would gradually sprinkle all these different mechanics in as you go along, but Contraption Maker doesn’t exactly have a story mode of sorts to do that with. Thankfully the puzzles are not overly complex and I was usually able to figure these out on my own, but this shouldn’t be the case with ANY tutorial. Oftentimes, you can’t tell whether your success is determined by precise placement or if you are just using the items wrong, and there’s little ways to tell otherwise.Ī lot of these are fairly simple like tutorials should be but some were just downright confusing and difficult to wrap my head around.

It does not so much as teach you how to use these items more so than it dumps you into a puzzle with the item you need to use. You are basically given 54 puzzles in a row, each with a new item with different mechanics.

The good news is that I can finally say I’m a full blown game journalist now because some of these tutorial levels made me want to quit.

The only levels I have completed in Contraption Maker are the tutorial levels, and it took me 2 hours to complete them all. Unfortunately I was so bored with the base game that I was not interested in checking out the user created ones. From what I can gather, Contraption Maker is meant to run on user created content similarly to that of something like Little Big Planet or Super Mario Maker, only with puzzles instead of platformer levels. I’m unsure if I can say Contraption Maker is bad, and I will disclose that puzzle games aren’t my favorite genre, but this game just really isn’t for me. Donald Trump’s favorite Contraption Maker tool.

Contraption Maker just isn’t really the type of game that interests me in concept, and now that I’ve played it, I wouldn’t say it interests me gameplay wise either. It just kept getting put off because I normally play these games based on my own level of interest. Yeah, this was why I stopped having review requests as rewards. He also did the same with Contraption Maker. That game was something I would not normally be interested in but I reviewed it because my then patron John Dolan gifted me a copy on Steam.

One of them was of Worms Reloaded, a game I reviewed a while back that no one else seemed to really care about. There were only three games that were chosen. There was a fairly brief period where I had patrons get to choose reviews for me as a reward on Patreon. This is controlled and fits nicely on my counter.This is a review that I have been meaning to get to for quite some time yet has been put off for absolutely forever. I had previously used more of a wand scrubber which would leak leaving dish soap all over. I finally purchased it and it was so worthwhile! It dispenses the exact right amount of soap to get the dishes washed without being wasteful. One review: “I must have seen this product several times in various platforms, because it was in my wishlist three times. The genius pick has more than 15,000 reviews. When you’re ready to wash, give the sponge a little push downward to fill it with soap and get to work. The compact tool features a compartment for filling with soap on the bottom and the perfect spot for your sponge right at the top.

Not anymore - this one-hand dish soap dispenser allows you to multitask with efficiency while cutting back on the number of products you have to store on your sink and the amount of dish soap you use. You have a dish in one hand and would really love to get the washing done - as soon as you drop that dish and refill your sponge with soap.
