A new game for iPhone and iPod Touch, Fantastic Contraption, summons the inner-Rube Goldberg in all of us; the goal is to use wheels and rods to create contraptions that get objects from point A to point B on a map. With upwards of 41 levels to chew on and the ability to download and create your own maps, this sounds like a solid time-waster. The game name rings a bell, however… Hmmm, could it be The Incredible Machine, which did pretty much the exact same thing about fifteen years ago? Still, a mobilized version would be sweet. Grab Fantastic Contraption in the iTunes store for $2.99.
