It wins the award for the weirdest title of the day, Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game previously on mobiles is now on the desktop and it's looking just as odd.

I will give it another award, the weirdest looking game I've seen all month too! Looks like it could be quite funny to make an automatic turkey carving device though.

About
The first and only official Rube Goldberg puzzle game. Solve everyday problems in Rube’s trademark elaborate style by creating complex and hilarious machines.

From David Fox, co-designer of the classic LucasArts graphic adventure games Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure as well as one of the first Lucasfilm Games titles, Rescue on Fractalus! plus SCUMM scrptor on Maniac Mansion.

Is pouring a glass of juice just too straightforward and boring? Try using a jack-in-the-box, magnifying glass, string and a cymbal-wielding friend to achieve your goal. The more creative your solution the better!

I showed this one to a coworker who is known for rigging up things to make it work, told him he needs this one :D

I ended up getting this myself, and it was fun though short. Only $5 though so worth the cost to me. Interestingly, Ron Gilbert must have consulted on it, because he is mentioned in the credits under "additional game design"
