... shamelessly plug other peoples products, but when I do I drink Dos Equis!

I am here to gush praise for the brand new physics based contraption building game called Principia(bithack) the sequel to the successful andriod game Apparatus. Apparatus had only about 20 parts to play with yet the community produced 30,000+ playable creations in just over a year. Some of the more complex creations range from fully playable games, a very functional and controlable motocross stuntbike or a factory which assembles spaceships which then launch themselves to my more abstract "Rain Cloud" or "Cup Holder with Claymore Attachment"

Principia, while still a bit raw, is a truly spectacular achievement for a small company. It has 150 parts to play with and looks to have added literally every feature which we wished for from the first. This, combined with stunning graphics, makes for a infinitly replayable game at only 3.49US$

I post as zardOz on Apparatus, which you can see at Apparatusgame.com or view the cool youtube trailer

I won't be posting on Principia for awhile, I'm completing my secret master plan for my ultra-epic 50th Apparatus submission, it'll take me another week at least.

Well I came in here to give a next day update, but it's been over a month! Principia is a black hole of awesome, bending time and space.* Should be out for iOS and windows soon.

I keep trying to learn all these parts and make tutorials for folks who are overwhelmed, but they are adding parts nearly as fast as I can tutorial the last ones. Somebody just made an electric organ with the new synth part, It's epic.

* you can also bend time and space with the Gravity Manager and Time Control parts.
