Challenge physical laws in this hand-drawn game
Crayon Physics is a radically different game, in the sense that it doesn't demand you to complete action-packed missions during World War II or frantic races along worldwide tracks.
Your aim is simply to move a red ball towards a star and collect it by drawing geometrical shapes that push the ball.
Yes, I know it sounds silly, but I assure you Crayon Physics is not as easy as it seems.
The ball and all shapes that you draw with the help of your mouse (suddenly turned into a crayon) follow physics laws very strictly, which means that you have to calculate sizes and positions very carefully if you're to achieve your objective.
The game gets really difficult after a few levels, but unfortunately there's no way to jump to the last level you completed so you'll have to go over all of them any time you play the game again.
Oh well, I guess this is something we can forgive, bearing in mind that the game was created in just five days.

totally fun.
Mesmerizing. Fun graphics. Educational, even. I keep having visions of grade school and middle school having this downloaded on the school computers.
Pros:
Helps you learn hands-on about basic physics principles.
Cons:
I wish I knew what level I was on, so I could brag to other people "Hey, I'm on level....., what level are you on?" More

Patience of mind.
The 'Crayon Physics' program teaches patience while facing each frustrating challenge in each level of the game. Fanciful and playful, it's worth a try. It is truly a unique program, raw & natural in a world of hard edges predictablity.
Pros:
Problem solving
Learning the role of accidental element of creativity
Cons:
Inconsistency in the 'squares' appearance More
