Apparatus is a game where you build simple mechanical structures to
make a path for one or several marbles to the goal. Use the laws of classical mechanics to complete each level.

"A real life-sapper. Get into Apparatus at your peril – you will lose hours of your life!" - LifeOfAndroid.com (Score: 9.5/10)

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.

Tesla Plushies

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 17:00:04 +0000

Help the plushies to the goal by guiding them with your finger. Tap on any wall to attract nearby plushies, while avoiding dark flickering haze.

This version features 34 levels divided into three difficulties; easy, medium and hard. Also featured is 7 tutorial-levels on how to play the game.

Tesla Plushies is the ultimate test of finger swiftness and quick reaction. If you can make it past the hard levels, you don't just impress your friends, but also us! Make sure you tap on a wall at the right time, if a plush is already heading in another direction the force towards the wall will be too weak!

THIS IS A VERY HARD GAME, you will be frustrated by the controls at first, and it will take quite a while before you get used to it and develop your own skill set. So please take this into consideration before you vote down the game because it is "too difficult" - that's the actual purpose of this game! If you think the game sucks, please vote it down. But if you think it's too hard, voting it down is just rude.

If you need help completing some difficult levels you can check out the how-to videos on our YouTube channel:
http://youtube.com/user/bithacked
Though we will not provide how-to's for *all* levels, that would ruin the challenge!

New levels will be released continuously so stay tuned!

ENJOY!

(If you have technical difficulties starting or playing the game, send us an email at teslaplushies@bithack.se. All bugs should be reported so that we can ensure anyone will be able to enjoy the frustration without crashes/slowdowns.)

Recent changes:
* 3 new hard levels
* Major improvements in terms of controls, plushies do not bounce around as much any more. This means some of the hard levels are now pretty easy. An update with more hard levels is therefore on its way to ensure that the game is still challenging after this gameplay/controls upgrade.
