This brilliant physics-based puzzle game has the power to turn even the most ardent science hater into a budding Brunel, Eiffel, or Dyson. However addicted you are to slaughter or strategizing AR will seduce you, I guarantee it. The concept is really simple. Each level consists of an inanimate basketball-like armadillo, a blue destination portal and some anchor-points or pre-built structures. Using elements like rope, steel, elastic, and rockets you have to build a device that will get the armadillo to the portal.
Armadillo Run is a physics-based puzzle game in which you build structures to lead the armadillo to the exit of each level. Summary Short summary describing this game.
Naturally, there's a catch. Every level has its own budget and all the building materials have their own associated costs. The obvious way to solve Level 27 might be to build a gently sloping steel ramp from armadillo to portal, but you haven't been given nearly enough money for that so a more minimal, more imaginative solution must be sought. Level 40 would be a push-over if you had enough cash to construct a rocket-propelled elevator, but the funds provided aren't sufficient so you'll have to experiment with counterweights or an elastic-powered cannon.

The joy of the experimentation is that there are no time limits or penalties for failure, and (this factor is very important) you know you aren't rummaging around in a haystack hunting for just one pre-hidden needle. The realistic physics and wide range of building materials mean there are literally hundreds of unique ways of solving most of the scenarios. Sometimes you even achieve success accidentally when a part of your design breaks or behaves unexpectedly. In a level I've just completed, I was working on an elaborate system of interconnected seesaws. After one rather optimistic alteration, the first seesaw decided to self-destruct mid-test creating a sort of accidental trebuchet that lobbed the orange orb directly into the portal hammock. 'Result!' as Alexander Fleming once famously uttered.
Destruction is actually pretty important in the game. Not only can you position and link lengths of metal, fabric, rope, rubber, and elastic anywhere on the screen, you can also adjust their tension, and prime them to snap with miniature explosives. Why on Earth would you want to do a mad thing like that? Well lets say you're planning to move the armadillo across the screen on a home-made swing; you might fix the raised swing onto the end of a platform with a primed steel strut. The charge on the strut would be set to blow once the armadillo had rolled into position. Maybe another charge-released device would snatch the swing with a jolt when it reached the other side, allowing the animal to tumble out and continue on its merry way.
If tensioning ropes and setting bomb timers sounds a bit involved then it's worth pointing-out that tricks like these are really only important later in the game. AR has a pretty straightforward interface and a very gentle learning curve. Ten engaging mini-challenges introduce the various gameplay elements and controls; 50 missions then gradually ramp-up the challenge and the complexity. Given the simple ingredients and the unchanging objective, it's remarkable just how diverse these missions are. Looking back through my library of auto-saved solutions, I can see huge rocket-driven Ferris wheels, elaborate rollercoaster-style rail systems, giant guillotines, massive golf clubs, colossal cobwebs of rope and elastic.. With half-built mechanisms pre-positioned at the start of scenarios you are sometimes nudged in certain creative directions, but much of the variety is a natural by-product of a great design.
Picking holes in AR is pleasingly hard, but I guess some gamers might fall foul of the linear scenario structure. To progress you must solve each puzzle in turn, so there's potential for getting stuck. The experimentation-based gameplay makes this highly unlikely however. Very occasionally I find myself yearning for a toggleable grid underlay to help with symmetrical designs, but this is another very minor complaint.

Is a downloadable physics-based puzzle/building game for Windows. Your job is to create structures to safely guide a rolled-up armadillo to the goal.
Assemble materials such as sheets of metal, ropes, cloth, elastic and more to create a path across the stage. The physics in Armadillo Run are remarkably accurate, making building (and destroying) things far more entertaining than it should be.You have a limited budget and each material costs a certain amount of money. Anchor points are placed on each stage so you can attach objects to a stable point and build from there. Some levels have pre-built structures, but some are completely bare.
Once you figure out how to get the armadillo to the goal, trim your materials to get the expenditure down to a minimum.As if working with realistic materials wasn't enough, Armadillo Run also lets you play with tension, put destruct timers on objects, and use the occasional rocket or two. The possibilities for what you can build are limitless. If you can think it, you can probably build it, and that kind of power can really make you drunk with happiness.The game comes with over 50 levels of varying degrees of difficulty and a level editor that lets you create anything you like. An active of Armadillo Run players upload their best level solutions and user-made stages, so the challenge never really ends. Be sure to check out the eternal motion machine, it's a testament to how accurate the physics are for this game.Analysis: I love building games and I get all giddy playing around with a game's physics. Armadillo Run gives you the materials and the environment to let your creativity run wild. It's challenging, it has a good user-base who have made some unique stages, and it's absolutely riveting to play around with.
The editor alone is worth the price of admission.Switching between materials and mouse-modes sometimes feels clunky, but with practice I could use keyboard shortcuts to smooth the process a bit. Also, the levels must be completed in order, so if you get stuck on a puzzle you'll just have to muddle your way through it. The level solutions on the official website help, but it would have been nice to be able to skip a few levels, sort of like the interface.Armadillo Run is a great puzzle game to play and an even more fun physics/building toy to use. It's one of the benchmark games in the genre that other titles strive to live up to.Thanks to L0ser for sending this one in!Windows:Download theGet theMac OS X:Not available.Try. Wow, words cannot describe how addicting this is.
I spent about 5 hours on demo and went straight for my hidden cash pile. I purchaced the full game for just a tenner and believe I made a great choice.
I must say some things that people made (levels that I downloaded) seemed quite cool. For instance you can make (in full version(in editor)) a anchor point with bars around it. Do that twice, put cloth around it, with a rocket inside the wheel. A pully system thing. The creativity of this game makes it uneque. If anyone has full game and has compleated level 31, Hill 2 - can you post an immage or file I can download please - ThankYou.Keep up the site Jay. Don't have an image to post for you, but for Level 31, I put a metal link on the top of the ramp, cloth links on the sides and top of the armadillo.
The side cloth links are connected to the rocket. I have rope connecting the ends of the metal link on the top of the ramp to the ends of the rocket as well.On the other end of the ramp, I have two ropes situated on the two points directly left of the furthest axle point. Connected to the two ropes, I have a metal link hanging below the ramp. From the metal link I have two links of cloth with the second link connecting up the axle point.You may have to adjust the length of some things - I got it to work with only about $2 left on the budget.Good luck. If you are tempted to buy this game, don't. The levels on the demo are a lot of fun, but they just get ridiculous pretty fast. Most of them are just frustrating trial and error-fests, hoping the physics will go your way for once, instead of having some kind of cohesive plan.
When you start looking at the solutions people have posted you realize the tens of hours per level they must have spent tweaking an inch here and inch there hoping that some off-the-wall plan will work this time and they can get past this level. That's not fun.In other words, this is not the 3D/modern version of The Incredible Machine you have been looking for, keep searching. Wow great game.i thought it would be worth the money but i dont really trust the internet that much. I would still buy it but its one of those games where you have more fun making your own levels rather than finishing the game( but i usually get bored making things that take ages to work )from the demo i could see different types of mechanisms used and the laws of physisc or something like that. Anyways instead of buying im just gonna download it off limewire it may take a while but its better than downloading. Some metal bars udner there help.anyways, i got a good.hack sorta.wanna change ur armadillo?
