Contraptions is a physics-based puzzle game with a fun, cartoonish look. This game combines three games: Contraptions, Contraptions 2, and Contraptions 3, into one package of creative fun.

In each level, there are various objects and monsters. The goal is to get rid of the monsters in the level. This can be achieved in various ways. The objects are affected by the laws of physics and play a central role in solving the puzzle. The objects form a "contraption" which is placed in such a way as to create a chain reaction that will eliminate all the monsters.

The trick is that the contraption is broken - some objects are not in the correct position. Your goal is to fix the contraption. You do this by repositioning, flipping, or connecting the various objects.

When the level starts, "time is frozen," gravity does not affect the objects, and all machines or devices are not working. During this time, you can move things, connect things, flip things, to make the chain reaction work. Once you are done, you start things (unfreeze time) by pressing the Play button and watch things unfold.

If you have done everything correctly, the chain reaction will eliminate all the monsters and you will advance to the next level. If your solution is not correct, you can freeze the contraption and experiment again with the objects.
