I did have an issue with the mouse when dragging tools from the left hand control pane. The mouse pointer dragged slowly when moving these objects into position every time I tried to place them it was very slow, otherwise there were no other issues.

Good game, bad programming. If it were not for what it does to the desktop after it closes, it would be a much better game. Not a fan of games that shift things around or resize open windows. C-

Fans of The Incredible Machine will like this one.
I found that I couldn't drag an item from the playing field back to the inventory as I could with TIM. Instead I had to use the X at the bottom of the item.

I tried a couple levels & it looks like a good game. But once again, the game only opens in a tiny window & I just can't see the printing, so I'm going to uninstall. I have tried the various "fixes" offered here & none works on my Win7 machine. If anyone has a solution, I'd sure love to hear it!

Unfortunately, the mouse lag makes the game unplayable for me. This is on a dev system, so top end cpu, huge RAM, M2 drive, but this platformer is slower than any current FPS. Mouse moves fine until it gets over an object that can be moved, then it just dies. Sit there swinging the mouse around for 30 seconds or so and it jumps across the screen, making it impossible to focus on the puzzles.

Interesting and rather addicting. Not my usual style of game but enjoyed. Directions for scenarios can be ambiguous - frequently have to check the Hint to see what action is really sought. Maker should be more careful when using terms such as "platform" and "board," as they're labeled one way sometimes and the other way other times. And when directions call for one specifically, it devolves into trial and error. Unlike WhiteRabbit, I had no lag when dragging objects from left panel. Wish laser paths were shown a bit longer-perhaps a fade rather than appear-disappear. Still, a fun game - thanks, GOTD and MyPlayCity folks!

Well this game is not bad. It is not as fun as the physics game when you had to explode Justin Bieber's face but it does not suck either. the cursor needs to respond faster. It should be as fast as I can move the mouse. it lagging makes me fail sometimes with the timer.

This is pretty much just a space-themed version of The Incredible Machine/Contraption Maker.
Physics are smooth, graphics decent.
Controls are not bad, except for one unfortunate flaw: when you mouse over a piece so its radial buttons pop up, the cursor lags TERRIBLY each time. It's like the mouse sensitivity suddenly drops to near zero. No change when graphics are tweaked, and the problem is consistent across levels. It's frustrating enough to interrupt the flow of the game, and I don't see myself playing it much if that continues to be an issue.

The game installed fine under Windows 10. The game play is fun and challenging. The only problem I'm having, and it's making the game almost unplayable, is that when the icon ring opens, my mouse almost stops working. It start "stuttering" really bad like I had dirt on my mouse pad; but only when the icon ring is open. I'll move the mouse and the pointer will move a tiny bit and stop, then move a tiny bit more and stop, the whole while I'm constantly moving the mouse. As soon as the icon ring closes the mouse pointer starts moving smoothly again.

Lee, Had some of same issue using Win7x64, especially with laser. Frequently had to delete and start over with object.

I changed its Compatibility setting to Win XP SP3 and it works like a champ. I didn't try any more recent Compatibility settings since it's working, but it may work with Vista, Win 7, or Win 8.

Downloaded and installed with no problems.
I've only played a few levels - 'Relaxed mode' of course, so no timer etc, but have been surprised at how challenging it is. Maybe my physics is a bit rusty.
Good game. Thanks GGOTD and MPC

from the screen shots, I do not like the graphics or the at it looks

Die Steuerung mit der Maus ist teilweise so hakelig, weil die Maus "gefangen" wird und es deshalb stark ruckelt, dass ich das Spiel nicht weiterempfehlen kann! Eine Verbesserung der Programmierung ist hier das Mindeste!

Had the same problem: nearly unplayable with Win10 64bit because of the mouse. Solved it by using Compatibility Troubleshooter (open it by right cick on Icon) - now running in compatibility mode Windows 8
-----------------------
Mausproblem gelöst: Rechtsklick aufs Icon -> "Behandlung von Kompatibilitätsproblemen" -> Mode Windows 8

Burn, Try turning off your anti virus just when you're installing.
It should work then.
