Crayon Physics Deluxe trailer 2 from Petri Purho on Vimeo.This has got to be one of the coolest games I have ever seen.

I've always been a fan of puzzle games, but in this particular game, the puzzle of how to connect a ball to a star separated by distances and objects, is as dynamic as your imagination.

Players are presented with more than 70 different puzzles and its brilliance is found in the way it challenges you to use your imagination to envision and then implement your own unique solutions to each one.

In the PC version, players use the mouse to draw shapes and objects that react to the laws of physics. For example, if you draw a box in the air, it will fall because of gravity.

What's particularly clever about this game (as you'll see in the video below) is that you can be as creative as you want. Simple levers and inclined planes work, but then again, so will rockets, dragons, and trebuchets.

Watch the video to see what I'm talking about... Other really interesting demonstrations can be seen here and here.
