About Apparatus

Apparatus is a physics game where you have to set up simple mechanical structures to
move one or several marbles to the goal. Use the laws of classical mechanics to complete each level.

Build a space rocket, connect cables from batteries to motors, build bridges, set up teeter totters,
swing with ropes, build vehicles, or just let the marble have a happy roller coaster
ride to the goal!

Use the hammer or the wrench to connect planks, wheels and other objects together.

Use the control panel to control your creations, be it a monster truck, a mechanical rifle or anything YOU can imagine!

Creativity is essential in the gameplay Apparatus. If you don't have the patience to figure
out the challenge levels, why not just play around in the physics sandbox and build whatever
comes to mind? Upload and share your levels in the community section or download and
comment on other players' levels.

The early levels will teach you how to play the game and go through some basic concepts.
The more you progress the more freedom the levels provide, many levels can
be solved in many different ways.

Every time you complete a level, you can go into freebuild mode and modify the level
however you like. If you make the level better, or just harder, you might want to
upload it to the community section and let other people play your modified level.

EXTRA FUN ON TABLETS!

A minimum processor speed of 600MHz is recommended. A screen resolution of 800x480 or higher is recommended but the game runs on lower resolutions.

IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES:
Disable sound effects and music from the main menu.
If the game still runs slow, when in a level click the menu button and choose "Graphics Settings". Disable shadow effects and put the rope/cable quality at 50%.

GALAXY S II USERS:
Please disable sound/music in the game. The audio backend crashes on this phone and we're working on solving this as soon as possible!

99% of the time, the hammer disappears immediately. Can't use the hammer after it disappears. Most levels aren't possible without the hammer. Broken on both nexus 6p and galaxy s5.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. And that's saying alot, I have been playing games since the first iphone.

This was the first app I ever bought. I am very pleased with the quality, field, and concept of this game. For an introduction to apps and android, it beats them all. Bravo to the creators, Bravo!

U70%
by U####:

I like how there is three levels to building but there is a glitch that when you select a new build item it automatically un-attaches and enlarges the last piece you had selected so if it's part of an intricate machine it messes it all up.

Once you start this game you cannot stop. It is worth the few dollars. It really gets your mind going. Perfect for technical & problem solving brains!

I am the envy of my iPhone owning friends with this app! Growing up, I loved to play The Incredible Machine this app us a bit like a modern remake. Really cool

When im in the sandbox and i save it, i cant load it. I tried everything to have it load by looking in the files but it says there is no applicaton to load it on. Please fix this.

Looks amazing on HD screen phones and can be extremely challenging at times but worth it for a good brain game really hoping to test my siblings ability and to see this on the Family Share account feature

Had this since just after It was released. I still install and play it on my devices. I can't think of any other game, save talisman, that qualifies in those terms.

My goal is to use as little supplies as possible. I just finished the main level 39 using only three pieces of wood. I bet even the application dev(s) couldn't do that.

At 1st it looks like a stupid cheap game but it's very cool. Reminds me of a day when things were simpler with board games....mouse trap.

I loved the game because it was a bit challenging but not too hard

This game causes a force close error at startup, just a couple Weeks ago it worked fine what happened? I paid for this app and I can't even play it. I'm using a Dell streak 7 tablet, and an LG Optimise T both on T-Mobile.

Google has stopped support for soft key menu. But game's menu can only be accessed via soft key menu. The game maker never updates it. Please stop this game or ask developers to add button to access menu from the screen.

Hammer doesn't work half of the time

T70%
by T####:

I really wanted to love this game, but it just doesn't perform up to par. The hammer and wrench icons are completely unresponsive when building. I estimate that clicking on a hammer (or wrench) works only about 1% of the time. I've only completed a few levels, but I've spent more time trying to click on the hammer to connect two pieces than thinking about how to solve the puzzle. Very frustrating and not worth the time.

Buttons don't work unless in portrait view but then the image is distorted. I used to love this game! Also can't find where to submit error report.

Puzzles are really challenging, graphics are good and it runs smoothly. The panning is weird though. You'd expect it to be the same as panning on Google maps, or on a zoomed in picture or webpage. But it's different. The camera will carry on panning after you swipe, even if you keep your thumb on the screen. It's tricky to get the camera exactly where you want it.

Need more levels plz, for the paid version at the very least. No updates in over a year. Anyone there?

H70%
by H####:

I love this and is like to see even more development even tho i have the second instalment....a big issue with this one is that the rc component when added crashes the app.... Please fix this and maybe add the option of connecting batteries together for extra power for one piece

S70%
by S####:

The physics suck. They are very inconsistent. You can press the play button 15 times and have 15 different results. Makes it more of a guessing game then anything. This might as well be a slots machine app

C70%
by C####:

Amazing game. Fun, addictive, great physics. For the thinker though, some of the levels will rack your brain. Works great on Tegra 4 and Snapdragon 400, the bigger the screen the better but still plays great on a 4.5 inch screen. Highly recommend!

The best game ever..there can be no other game better than this...love this game..!!! But needs update on slow start n new levels... No updates since long... :(

Easily my favorite game. You can pick it up at any time and play for a few minutes to an hour or more; it's easy to lose track of time. It's really a great game - the puzzles are fun and interesting, the graphics are good, and it's non-linear; A complex puzzle can be solved by a simple method, or you can make a complex machine - it's really up to you. A solid purchase, for sure.

The right hand side of my screen doesn't work and as the game doesn't support screen rotation I am unable to start the levels
