Physics in games are big. Since Half-Life 2 showed us how great an accurate phyics engine can be in a game, almost every title since has copied it. However, most of the time we only see good physics engines running in 3D worlds with preset objects and parameters. Crayon Physics takes all those standards and breaks it, by not only bringing a high-quality physics simulator to a 2D puzzle game, but by making the interactive objects ones you create.
The goal of Crayon Physics is to get the red ball to touch the star. Not too hard, except they are seperated by obstacles and chasms. To solve these problems you are tasked with simply drawing shapes on the board. These shapes fill in gaps, fall and push the ball, or even act as counter weights. The trick is to use your mind and be creative, figure out what you need and just make it.
The artistic style is impressive aswell. The game is made of mostly crude lines, but they do look like they are made with crayon. The background is a nice yellowed paper, and the lullaby music loops in the background giving it a cool artistic feel. It's a lot of fun to pick up and play quickly, solve one of the handful of puzzles included and move on. It's worth checking if you're interested in something fun and casual that offers a little more creativity in a relaxed gaming atmosphere.
