I found another one that amazingly more complex.  Not sure if I like it yet or not, but there are some crazy options.  You build robots to do things and you actually control them with arrow keys and stuff.

There is a tutorial.

However I spent a little while with it and I wasn't having fun.  I had to pay too much attention to it.  This is probably den worthy.

You know what's great about this game. It's the perfect example of how there's beauty in simplicity and how easy it is to totally fuck up a cool idea.

Good point.  Someone should write that down.

This game lacks the elegant simplicity of Fantastic Contraptions, but once you get past the unwieldy interface it's got its own charm.

I'm very proud of my claw machine.  Trying to figure out how to pilot the thing you've just built is really interesting.  The replay is my first test drive of the contraption so you can see me fumbling around trying to pick up the first couple of objects.
