Pin Up

Heavily inspired by The Incredible Machine, and less so by Create and Hot Wheels Crash, this game jam prototype explores a fruit salad of some of the best elements of all 3. 

Your objective is to build a simple Rube Goldberg machine (aka chain reaction machine) that leaves EXACTLY 1 bowling pin up. Not 2, and not 0. There are 5 in this build, and the main menu also works this way - grab an object, then leave exactly one pin up to select that item (sorry it got a bit busy with all the textboxes).

There are several different pin types too, and the type you leave standing will affect your score based on how tippable it is (and therefore how well you did to avoid it while bowling all the others over)!

Everything should work just fine in the web build, but just in case it doesn't for whatever reason, I've included a downloadable version as well. Please note that I have no way to test the Mac and Linux builds, so your mileage may vary with those.

Also, for evaluation purposes, you can press P to skip a machine (if you can't find the solution for example); it's not mentioned in-game anywhere because it's not meant to be a real feature, but it's there if you want/need it.

Patch notes:

*Hotfix 1: fixed issue that allowed [a part held in the hand] to remain in the hand when the machine is started, which saw that part continue to follow the cursor and collide with objects. Hotfix submitted before the deadline.

*Hotfix 2: fixed a specific issue with pin-tip detection that could prevent navigation from the main menu to the first machine. Hotfix submitted during voting period.
