Awesome Autodesk Puzzle Game App

By Rain Noe - February 1, 2011

You might rock at Tetris, Bejeweled or Angry Birds, but let's face it, you've developed skills that are largely worthless in the real world. Wouldn't it be cool if a puzzle game you've burned countless hours on actually taught you something useful?

It would be, and that's why we're psyched about Autodesk's new, and free, TinkerBox app. You're presented with a series of Rube-Golbergian challenges that you solve by using simple mechanical devices and physics. There's also an "invent" mode where you can create contraptions of your own.

TinkerBox was designed with high school students in mind, but that won't stop us from playing it; Tetris, after all, is played by everyone ranging from 5-year-olds to those with PhD's.

TOTALLY reminds me of The Incredible Machine, played that all the time when I was a kid, back in the 90s, on a performa.
