The Machine is a new game for Windows Phone 7.x and 8 that should make many diehard players quite pleased. The game, developed by IĮ Farstall, comes from the highly regarded AppCampus project, a joint venture between Microsoft, Nokia and Aalto University.
It’s free game (with some minor ads), which makes it a no brainer for adding to your collection. Visual design of the game is very good, which relies on a monochrome, with bold and eye catching lines.
The game itself is an action-puzzler with a touch of physics. You control a blob of ink and by tapping on the screen, trying to weave the dark splotch through ‘the Machine’ to the end. The game has two modes: arcade and campaign (30 levels). The first, arcade, is described as an “endless climb” where your goal is to simply get a high score by getting your globule up as high as you can. It’s perfect for that on-the-go, quick gameplay. The second option, campaign, is similar to Angry Birds where you have various challenges throughout 30 different levels. You race against time and how much ink you use (or don’t), resulting in a higher score.
It also has some killer electro music (see the game trailer to see it all in action!)

The game starts off unassuming, but we have to admit—it gets difficult real fast. In that sense, this isn’t like your typical physics-puzzler, as this ramps up complications very quickly, resulting in a somewhat maddening gaming experience. That’s not a bad thing, it just means to get ready for some serious challenges and lots of tapping of the ‘replay’ function.
The Machine is probably one of the most distinctive and visually gorgeous action-puzzles we’ve come across. It has an impeccable design and offers dedicated gamers a fun—but difficult—challenge.
