game physics








enigmo 2 is the first video game i have been interested in since snood (motto: forget life, play snood), and even so i can only play for a few minutes.

the rube goldberg concept and the 3D is so neat and the play is so subtle - kudos.

the enya soundtrack is a little hard to take however - mute it and just run your itunes.

interestingly, there was a toy back in the 70's that was basically a real life version of this game... see a vintage TV spot about it here.

also, the whole rube goldberg concept is being played out in virtual reality through video game hacks that allow "players" to manipulate the game environments, constrained somewhat by the local physics of the video game
