RUBE WORKS APP
|
Rube Goldberg was a cartoon animator who made drawings of absurd, humorous, and elaborate contraptions to do a very simple thing like make orange juice, open the garage door, or like the self-operating napkin above. This app celebrates his work by giving the owner of the app the opportunity to assemble the contraptions themselves. For instance on a particular level, one is thrown into a particular predicament and given the supplies to assemble the contraption. The app gives the player clues, but it is a serious exercise in trial and error as you complete initial testing of the contraption as it moves from steps A - G. Once the player has completed a successful contraption they are wicked off to another scenario. This is a great app for developing problem solving skills.
