icon Aardman makes a physics puzzler (+3)  
Sprocket Rocket is a nice game by Aardman Animations. (Yes, they're the Wallace and Gromit / Chicken Run people. Apparently they make games now.) You have a little egg-shaped craft capable of flight in all directions by means of little jets. You are in a two-dimensional physics-based world, and you solve puzzles by going into a design screen and inventing a single tool, to be created and attached to your craft. Simple machines, for the most part. If any of this appeals to you, you should check it out.

If you live in the UK, this game might educate you on "intellectual property", or possibly propagandize you. I didn't pay close attention; if you, like me, are not British, it's just a fun game.

Currently I am stuck on F6, but I suspect it's me being thick and not the puzzle being ridiculous. Done. Kinda wish there'd been more of an ending. Ah well.

I did it first with a hook, picking up the right hand side only (it won't slip if there's something supporting the outer edge while you lift)

But the easiest way which I just realised has to be the following:

Am I the only one creeped out by the idea that a pro-IP-lecturing game would be veeery much, ahem, "inspired" by Bob Came In Pieces? :huh
