Do you have the baubles?

The Machine has just received its Christmas update! We’re proud to announce that there are now -

15 new ‘overtime’ levels, which even the most hardcore machinist should find taxing.

2 new machine pieces - move blocks through space and time with the teleporter and wrap them up with the wrapper!

3 new awesome tunes to listen to as you build

New customisation options let you control the look of the world, as well as letting you try out 2 new ‘themes’ - want to play in space or out at sea? Now you can!

The new level structure makes it easier to try out different levels if you get stuck.

And if this wasn’t enough - we’ve added snow!!!

The Machine - Community Levels.

Wow! The community levels that are appearing at the moment are fab. After spending ages developing the game it’s great to be able to play levels we have no idea how to complete.

We’re working on a little update for The Machine at the moment. We’ll announce just what soon. But currently we’re in danger of dropping behind schedule because we’re playing your great levels.

Better get back to it now, the Bossatron approaches.

The Machine 1.02 released

The Machine v1.02 has just been released. This fixes an issue some people were having loading the community levels. To get the update open Impulse and check the updates tab. Thanks to those who let us know so we could get it fixed.

We’ve also increased the bosses literacy stats (he can now spell ‘us’)

The Machine - Reviews

There have been a couple of reviews of The Machine over the last week. We’re obviously quite biased toward it so here’s some links to some objective points of view.

DIY Gamer - Mike Rose recommended the game out right! http://www.diygamer.com/2010/11/casual-contraptions-machine-review/

Gamezebo - 3.5 out of 5

We were naturally horrified when Jon Mundy pointed out we spelt ‘us’ wrong! I have been on the naughty step since then. I can only say it will be rectified in an update.
