I remember doing this with pen and paper when I was younger:

Drawing a sink filling with water that has a floating block that rises as water is filled; this block then hits a teeter-totter device holding a ball that rolls off and down a track ….on and on and on ….

….all the drawing for a simple task like flipping a light switch or something similar. I may like this game and if it’s cheap enough (if not free) I may purchase it.

I used to play this game many many years ago on my Windows 95 desktop PC called “The Incredible Machine” I spent hours and hours on that game it was so addictive…this looks exactly like it. Can’t wait…

I freaking love contraption/physics based games. Creating something unique, then letting it all go in a crazy chain of events. It’s awesome!

But we shall see how Amazing Alex holds up..hopefully Rovio pulled it off.

Breaking news: Sierra Entertainment is not suing Rovio for making a fun game, stating that while the gameplay of Amazing Alex bears striking similarity to The Incredible Machine, they “wouldn’t want to come across as total dicks by suing everyone.”

Shouldn’t they have re-titled it “Rube’s Machine”?
