    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully designed and animated puzzle game that is educational and entertaining!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2014

    This is another game in a series by the developer that are ingenious and entertaining. This is a very cute and entertaining mind teaser game where you have to solve a puzzle by assembling a mechanical Rube Goldberg invention. The graphics, animation and FX sounds are well done as well as the background music. You have to complete at least 4 of the inventions to unlock the next challenge. There is a setting that you can adjust to eliminate unnecessary pieces that are not required to make the invention work so you may want to start there for a younger child. It makes the game easier to play. You can also reset all of your progress in the app and play it again. Once you solve 4 of the puzzles in the level the next page unlocks but you can still finish the remaining puzzles in the level that you are in to earn the gold stars.

    It is fun and you are learning the interaction of gears, belts and machines. The game is short and easily solved and I wish that it was longer and had more levels. I rated it as a 5 star app. Overall this is a cute and entertaining game and it teaches your child how to use their imagination and how to solve problems. There are 66 levels with some difficult ones added in to challenge your creativeness.

    This app contains no adware or malware and it is safe to install onto your device. Your children and you will like the app so get is while it is a FAOTD.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I'm a grown woman who's bought many game apps, and I have to say this one is my absolute favorite. It's fun, funny, clever, interesting, adorable, incredibly imaginative, and it just cracks me up! It also makes me think, but it's not hair-pulling frustrating. It's easy to play but can be challenging as well. There's no time limits, no lives to run out of, no coins or hints to have to buy, no walkthroughs to have to search the web for--it's perfect! Just an enjoyable, relaxing, activity.

    UPDATE:
    Just finished all 66 delightful levels plus the VS. challenges, and now I'm sad! I may do what I've never done before with any other game and start over again from the beginning. I really hope they make more apps in this series. Few things in life are just pure, clean, effortless, fascinating, fun like this game is.

    UPDATE 3/15/15:
    They changed it! I reinstalled it last night to play it again and found certain things were not the same, plus, the old man doesn't say the same funny things he used to when you finished each level. I HATE that! Why mess with perfection?!

    Whatever they did made it somewhat less enjoyable than the first time I played it so for that reason, I'm deducting a star from my original 5-star rating. They should have left well enough alone.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre puzzle game, but challenge is not the same as trial-and-error
    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Somewhat fun little time-waster, but I think the author REALLY underestimates the average person's intelligence or else just doesn't understand the difference between "challenging" and "tedious". All levels were fairly easy in terms of actual thinking -- the "hard" levels (where the voice-over even makes a point of taunting the player) were at most an exercise in trial-and-error. Had there been actual logic and problem solving, this could have been a really great game. As it stands, it's not terrible, but after you master a few basic concepts, it's just not very interesting.

    The game is a puzzle game in which you have to drag components onto a level in order to complete an invention. There are gears, pulleys, and other obvious elements, and of course "clever" things like windmills, rodents running on treadmills, and other pieces you have to learn how to use. By putting the pieces together, you build various creations to solve problems. A simple example would be scaring a rodent into running on a treadmill and using that as a source of power for rocking a chair back and forth.

    The building blocks of each level are interesting enough, but in too many cases you just have to guess at what you're doing rather than solve a logic puzzle. For instance you may have two gears available but you have to figure out which one "snaps" onto which spot on the game board. And in many cases you're just laying pipes/wires/etc. rather than trying to solve a problem. More than once you're told to simply build something, which you may not have any idea how to build, so you just drag things around until the design looks right and turn in on in the hope you succeeded.

    The game gets around the tedious elements to some degree by making it impossible to put the wrong object in the wrong space, but this feels more like a way to band-aid the bad levels than anything else.

    It's not going to challenge most adults, but it can at least be entertaining for a few hours. Don't expect it to be something you come back to after finishing it, though. I haven't tried the multiplayer mode, so I can't say if that helps the game any.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very addictive
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great game, even for a silver surfer like me! I'm having to ration myself so I don't do all the puzzles too quickly, but in 2 days I've done 47 out of 66 . They do get more difficult as you progress.
    The graphics are excellent, and the sound effects have encouraged me to turn up the volume. When each puzzle has been solved, I especially like to re-run the solution graphics - some of them make me laugh out loud. I think this would be a very good game for children who like practical problems.

    Only one problem - we want more inventions NOW!

    Nous retrouvons avec plaisir Pettson et Picpus, personnages attachants de littérature enfantine, dans cette application rigolote destinée aux petits cerveaux qui doivent réaliser un enchaînement de réactions pour arriver au résultat demandé. C'est divertissant et surtout ça fait travailler la réflexion et la logique, à la maison tout le monde y joue, les petits comme les grands.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Super App für Kleine und Große!
    Reviewed in Germany on November 13, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Meine Tochter (5 Jahre) darf eigentlich nur sehr wenig "Computer-Spielen". Da sie aufgrund einer hartnäckigen Erkältung in den letzen Wochen regelmäßig inhalieren musste, haben wir die übliche Regel etwas aufgeweicht - und ich habe mich nach einer App umgesehen, die eine Alternative zu dem von ihr sehr geliebten Cut-the-Rope darstellen könnte. Sie sollte möglichst etwas ruhiger sein und weder eine tägliche Nutzung erfordern (wie die "Tier"-Pflege-Programme) noch Barbie oder Ähliches zum Thema haben. Als ich auf "Pettersons Erfindungen" stieß, dachte ich, das könnte das Richtige sein - und wir sind alle begeistert. In eigenem Tempo muss man Petterson helfen, zunehmend komplizierte Erfindungen fertigzustellen, indem man die richtigen Bauteile an die richtigen Stellen bringt. Liegt man richtig, hakt sich das Bauteil ein, liegt man falsch, wird es automatisch wieder in die Ausgangsposition zurückgeschoben, so dass auch durch reines Ausprobieren irgendwann auf die Lösung kommt. Mit Hilfe eines Hebels kann man die Erfindung starten und schauen, was passiert. Sobald die Erfindung funktioniert, gibt es ein dickes Lob von Petterson (mit schwedischem Akzent :-) ) und eine Goldstern. Hat man 4 von 6 Aufgaben einer Übersichtsseite gelöst, wird die nächste Seite freigeschaltet. Das ist auch gut, so kann man weiterkommen, auch wenn man eine Aufgabe partout nicht schafft.

    Die Grafiken sind toll, die Erfindungen äußerst phantasievoll und lustig. Man kann auch super mit mehreren zusammen tüfteln und lernt ganz nebenbei etwas über Mechanik. Weitere Nebenwirkung: Meine Tochter ist nun auf dem Erfindungtrip: Verschiedenste Flugmodelle aus Lego und diverse ausgefeilte Erfindungen aus Pappe und Papier bereichern nun unseren Haushalt... Einziges Problem: Das Wieder-Ausschalten des Spiels fällt ungeheuer schwer - meiner Tochter sowieso, aber ehrlich gesagt, mir auch!
