Crayon Physics

edited November 2007 in Games and Technology
This is game of the year material. Crayon Physics Deluxe.

The game is not available yet but there's also the original crayon physics here. But it's not very much fun. All you can draw are boxes. No hinges, cars or simple lines.

This seems to be the official page for Crayon Physics Deluxe. Hopefully there'll be a game on soon.

So. I submit that this game is shit-hot and someone needs to hire this guy to make it for the DS and/or Wii.

    While the regular isnt as awesome looking, the music makes up for it.

    Wow, that's awesome. Does seem like a perfect fit for Wii Ware, too.

    Oh man, that is so sexy.

    I tried the original game and yeah, it's not that great because it's really hard to predict what it's going to draw since everything reverts to boxes. The deluxe one is going to be so great though.

    Did you get to the level with the spinners? I can't figure out how that's supposed to work.

    This game demands to be made for the DS...or Wii, I guess.
    The part with the cloud was great, and of course the car as well.

    This would be awesome on the 360...

    But seriously folks, I was impressed when I saw it. I first thought it was going to be one of those annoying Flash games where you have a limited amount of ink and have to draw the path for your lemming to get to the other side. Oh how quaint. Then I saw the physics, and decided there and then that a tablet like that should be my next purchase. Kinda.
    Either way, looks superb, and really innovative.

    My kindergarteners would love this. Every now and then I bring in my Wacom tablet for them to fool with, and this is absolutely perfect for it. I just want the finished game.

    crayon physics was awesome, so I'd buy this right away. The music is so perfect for the game. After you beat the game, you can just draw whatever, but like someone said before its all pretty much just boxes and squares. Still had a lot of fun with it.

    I drew one really thin, but long rectangle... and had it sit on all of them... then when it spawned I made a box and pushed it across.

    Draw a box to make the middle spinner spin in the opposite direction. Then, draw a long line over all three spinners, and let go the mouse button (to actually create the line) just before the middle spinner hits it from the left side. This will create a bridge, and the middle spinner will give it a little kick so that the line goes diagonal up-left to down-right for a few seconds, just enough time to make the ball roll.

    It would be cool to see it on the DS. I'd just be worried there would be enough screen real estate to make fun puzzles on the DS without having to scroll the screen.

    Maybe. I wouldn't be all that opposed to a bit of scrolling though. They could have a level overview shown in the top screen.

    Is there any inkling of a release date for this, or is it pretty much "when it's done"?

    I swear to god.. that video w/ the music made me want to draw with crayons right now.

    But it wouldn't move :(

    This is really an example of cool things that are fun for kids and adults... and your CPU power can go to rendering things happening like you expect, rather then HDR lighting across arm sweat.

    WOULD BUY AGAIN A+++++++ GAME

    Ok, can someone explain how the hell your supposed to do the 4th level? The one with just the 2 little platforms, one in the upper left with the ball, and the other in the lower right with the star.

    Also, that was fun, if very short, can't wait for the next one.

    Yeah, I can't get that one either. I tried drawing a long rectangle as a ramp, but no luck.

    I drew a large box at the bottom platform near the right side, then drew a ramp going down. The box kept the platform up, leading the ball to victory.

    I think this is how I did it, but don't quote me on this:

    I pushed the ball off of the platform, drew a block in the middle of the screen, the ball rolled down it and built up enough momentum to get to the lower right platform before the block fell off the screen.

    I got it eventually.... I accidentally drew a box around the ball... as it fell, the ball was kind of stuck in limbo and then popped out.... I tried to do it again and couldn't reproduce it.

    Of course, now I'm stuck on the next one.
