its a new computer game I am getting today... its a puzzle-type game where you have you design your own "inventions" with objects your given in order to complete the required objective. anyone ever play it? sounds fun.. thought i'd ask you guys because it has everything to do with physics, and applying what you know about gravity, momentum, etc...
