Description
Apparatus is a physics game where you have to set up simple mechanical structures to move one or several marbles to the goal. Use the laws of classical mechanics to complete each level.
Build a space rocket, connect cables from batteries to motors, build bridges, set up teeter totters, swing with ropes, build vehicles, or just let the marble have a happy roller coaster ride to the goal!
Use the hammer or the wrench to connect planks, wheels and other objects together.
Use the control panel to control your creations, be it a monster truck, a mechanical rifle or anything YOU can imagine!
Creativity is essential in the gameplay Apparatus. If you don't have the patience to figure out the challenge levels, why not just play around in the physics sandbox and build whatever comes to mind? Upload and share your levels in the community section or download and comment on other players' levels.
The early levels will teach you how to play the game and go through some basic concepts. The more you progress the more freedom the levels provide, many levels can be solved in many different ways.
Every time you complete a level, you can go into freebuild mode and modify the level however you like. If you make the level better, or just harder, you might want to upload it to the community section and let other people play your modified level.
EXTRA FUN ON TABLETS!
A minimum processor speed of 600MHz is recommended. A screen resolution of 800x480 or higher is recommended but the game runs on lower resolutions.
IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES: Disable sound effects and music from the main menu. If the game still runs slow, when in a level click the menu button and choose "Graphics Settings". Disable shadow effects and put the rope/cable quality at 50%.
GALAXY S II USERS: Please disable sound/music in the game. The audio backend crashes on this phone and we're working on solving this as soon as possible!

Awesome game I like how there is three levels to building but there is a glitch that when you select a new build item it automatically un-attaches and enlarges the last piece you had selected so if it's part of an intricate machine it messes it all up.
★★★★★
Good to go Had this since just after It was released. I still install and play it on my devices. I can't think of any other game, save talisman, that qualifies in those terms.
★★★★★
Hey google... the maker of the game is not updating Google has stopped support for soft key menu. But game's menu can only be accessed via soft key menu. The game maker never updates it. Please stop this game or ask developers to add button to access menu from the screen.
★★★★★
It's really one of the better games out there. Nothing really comes close to games like Apparatus and Apparatus 2 (Principia).
★★☆☆☆
Bought it and hadn't played for ages but have discovered I can't use the hammer. It appears but as soon as I let the wood go, the hammer disappears which is not what the "how to play" video shows should happen
★★☆☆☆
Buggy hammer 99% of the time, the hammer disappears immediately. Can't use the hammer after it disappears. Most levels aren't possible without the hammer. Broken on both nexus 6p and galaxy s5.
★★☆☆☆
Great concept, poor execution I really wanted to love this game, but it just doesn't perform up to par. The hammer and wrench icons are completely unresponsive when building. I estimate that clicking on a hammer (or wrench) works only about 1% of the time. I've only completed a few levels, but I've spent more time trying to click on the hammer to connect two pieces than thinking about how to solve the puzzle. Very frustrating and not worth the time.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work Can't hammer boards together on my nexus 6
