Aye, its pretty awesome and dangerously addictive. I have played it before but had no idea you could build up something like that. Now Im hooked...again.

That's... interesting, Lem. A disintegrating contraption. Very outside-the-box thinking, in my humble opinion. I just thought it was a failure at first >_>

Four-wheeled stair climber... it can shovel through dirt.

This game looks kind of cool. It reminds me of The Incredible Machine.

Lemmings disintegrating is unique. What would be interesting is if the wheel had to stay in the box for a certain amount of time rather than just enter it, though. toshiro, yours has a cool idea for good traction, and I like the dreadlocks.

Snax's raging bull is also cool. I seem to favor appliances on wheels... but that fails on the higher levels. Correction: On many of the higher levels. It works for this one: Burrower

Lemming's contraption reminds me of something I saw at a Survival Research Lab show years ago.

I ended up making some crazy over-engineered things for the problem at hand.

Like so.
