Crazy Machines 1.5
A physics puzzler with a locked toolbox: you solve with the parts you're given, not the parts you'd design. Cozy, short-session, and stingier than it looks.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for puzzle fans who want short, constrained contraption levels, not an open-ended physics sandbox.
Compare Prices(3 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Crazy Machines 1.5
The fixed toolbox is the whole design. Every level hands you a specific set of gizmos (gears, belts, ramps, magnets, balloons, the odd mouse on a wheel) and asks for one clean chain reaction, so the puzzle is never "what would I build" but "what did the designer intend with exactly these seven parts". That constraint is the reason it works. Free-form sandbox physics toys let you brute-force a solution with clutter. Here you are reverse-engineering an intended sequence, and the satisfaction curve looks a lot more like a lock-picking puzzle than a creative builder. The 2008 physics engine is fussier than a modern one, which means placement tolerance matters and a solution that reads correct on paper can fail on a two-pixel offset. Who it's for: puzzle players who want fifteen-minute sessions and a tutorial that actually teaches the parts before testing them. Who it's not for: anyone expecting the sandbox to be the main course. Building mode exists, but it is thin next to the level list, and the campaign runs out well before you've exhausted your interest in the toolbox. There is no meaningful progression system, no AI to outwit, and no mod scene to extend it. Judge it as a tidy box of contraption puzzles and it holds up. Expect a physics playground and you will be done in an afternoon.
