Coming soon to the App Store Drag ramps, dominoes, seesaws, fans, springs and conveyors onto the board, press Go, and let real physics decide. Sixty levels that teach one idea at a time, and a sandbox with no goal at all. App Store: soon Runs on iPhone and iPad Languages English and Spanish Rated 4+ Network Works offline Levels 60 in 4 packs Parts 18, 10 free Fig. 1Six free parts, one machine: the ball drops onto a ramp, knocks over five dominoes, lands on a seesaw and tips into the bucket. **02**The board ## Room to build It works on an iPhone, but it was drawn for the iPad: the tray sits beside the board, and the machine gets a whole page. 1. **The tray.** Beside the board on iPad, showing how many of each part are left. 2. **The ball.** It waits at the start until you press Go. 3. **A placed ramp.** Selected, with a dashed outline around it. 4. **The bucket.** The only thing the app checks is whether the ball lands in it. 5. **Turn, copy or remove.** Five degrees at a time either way, a second one just like it, or off the board. 6. **Hint.** There when your kid wants one, and free. 7. **Go.** Real physics takes it from here. 8. **On iPhone** the tray sits under the board, and nothing is left out. **03**Real physics ## Two machines, one bucket. Both count. Press Go and physics takes over. Two machines that look nothing alike both count, because the app only checks whether the ball ends up in the bucket. One ramp, tipped towards the bucket. 1 part Two ramps: left first, then back to the right. 2 parts Same start, same bucket. A uses one part and B uses two, and both are solved. ### What counts as solved - Solved: The ball lands in the bucket. How it got there doesn't matter. - Solved: With one part or every part in the tray. The app tells you how many you used, and that's all. - Solved: With a hint or without one. Hints are free for everyone. **04**Parts list ## Eighteen parts. Ten come free. Each part has a size and one job. The levels use these twelve: the free six build all of Gravity and Chains, and the unlock adds the rest. The sandbox has six more, a free crate, wheel, funnel and ice slide, plus a bumper and a spinner with the unlock. ### In the free set - #### Ball Pelota It rolls. Gravity does the rest.

Each level started as a machine that works. It was run with real physics, and the bucket went where the ball actually landed. The level keeps that machine as its answer. Before any update goes out, all sixty answers get placed on the board with the same parts and limits your kid has, and run again. If the ball doesn't land in the bucket, that level doesn't ship. Levels Four packs of fifteen. Gravity and Chains are free.

When the ball misses, the app says “Try another way” and your kid has another go. Hints are always free. A run that misses “Try another way” Nothing broke. Move a part and press Go again. Reset Back exactly as it was Every part goes back where your kid put it, seesaw angles included. A hint Free for everyone One short nudge, like “One ramp under the ball, tipped towards the bucket.” The level still counts as solved. **07**Sandbox and My machines ## Nothing to win. Nothing thrown away. ### A sandbox with no goal The same board with no part counts and nothing to win. It's where most of the hours go. A run there just stops when everything settles. If the ball does land in a bucket, the app says: “The ball found the bucket. Save it, keep building, or hide some parts and make it a puzzle for somebody else.” ### Saved machines belong to your kid My machines keeps every build. Each one opens and runs, even with a part from the unlock in it, and can be saved as a picture. Saving from a level keeps everything on the board, the bucket and ball too. 1. Balloon lift holds a balloon, a part from the unlock. 2. Launch pad holds a spring, also from the unlock. 3. Share a picture, duplicate, or delete. Delete asks first. **08**Free and the unlock ## Free to build. One unlock for the rest. The unlock is one payment, and that's it. It adds the Push and Tricks packs and eight more parts. Gravity, Chains, the sandbox and ten of the parts stay free. What is free and what the unlock adds Item Free Unlock Sandbox, unlimited building and saving Yes Yes My machines and picture export Yes Yes Levels 30 of 60 All 60 Parts 10 of 18 All 18 Hints Yes Yes A saved machine is your kid's work, so it always opens and runs, even with a locked part in it. The unlock only comes up when they reach for something new that's locked. **09**Privacy ## It all stays on the device. There's no account and no server, so your kid's machines have nowhere to go. ### Kept on this iPhone or iPad - A name and a colour for each kid who plays - Which levels each kid has solved - Every saved machine and its picture, and every puzzle your kids make ### Never - An account or a sign in - Ads, analytics or tracking - The camera or the microphone - How long a run took, or scores to compare A picture only goes to Photos when someone taps Save Image, and a puzzle only leaves the device when someone shares it. Settings and the unlock are behind a two second hold. Building and playing work offline. You only need internet to buy the unlock or open a link. **10**Questions ## Asked before **Is every level really solvable?** Yes. Each level comes with a machine that already solves it, and all sixty get played again before any update goes out. **Is there a timer or a score to chase?** No. There's no timer and no score. A level is either solved or not yet, hints are free, and your kid can replay any level as often as they like. **iPhone or iPad?** Both. The iPad is nicer because the board is bigger, but nothing's missing on a phone. ## Máquina is almost here. Coming soon to the App Store, for iPhone and iPad, in English and Spanish.
