Rube Works: Rube Goldberg Game 2.0.1

"This app is amazing and rich on so many levels." —NSTA Recommends (National Science Teachers Association)

The first and only official Rube Goldberg puzzle game challenges players to solve everyday problems in Rube’s trademark elaborate whimsical style by creating hilarious machines. Whether it’s pouring a glass of juice or any other mundane task, you can use items like a jack-in-the-box, magnifying glass, string, or even a cymbal-wielding friend to achieve your goal. The more creative your solution, the better!

From award-winning designer David Fox, known for his work on the classic LucasArts graphic adventure game "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders" and as a SCUMM scriptor for "Maniac Mansion".
