    Build pipes then attach propellers and gears. The acid must flow efficiently from one vessel to the next.  Try to capture lost fluid or add more or else you may run dry. Do not edit the original scene - no cutting holes either- Do not attach propellers and gears to the sky.

     Landslide


    Save the town. Only build in the boxes. Do NOT fixate to the scene. Nothing heavier than GOLD.
    If a person even falls over - they are not saved


    Marble Machine
