I found that game about 2 weeks ago and have been playing on and off at work ever since. It can become very addicting, yes, but I found some frustration in there too!

That reminds me of a rudimentary version of an old Sierra OnLine game called The Incredible Machine.  The Kid just came in an played for 15 minutes and got through 6 levels.  I got stuck on Level 4 after a half-hour.  LOL!  Fun game!

You are absolutely right. The idea must have been stolen from the old Sierra game "The Incredible Machine". But I must say that this clone is very nicely done.
The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

I was playing with it for a while.  It's fun!  I showed my kids (8 & 11) and they're hooked.  Thanks for the post.

This game just proved how bad I am at engineering. My mind just doesn't think like that...I prefer this game: http://www.ninjakiwi.com/templates/gameajax.php?name=Bloons%20Tower%20Defense%203&game=http://www.ninjakiwi.com/images/stories/Games/bloonstd3.swf

They wish to see, but not to be burnt. They forget that this very light which pleases them so much is a discomfort to weak eyes and harms them..."
