Over 80 people are employed by CCL

The CCL game. "we reckon that its the most playable flash game we've done to date and will take a bit more brain power than most of the idiocy that we crank out." - According to Kerb. I have no idea how I ended up on their mailing list. I did have more fun on their flash 5 site than the CCL game.

Love this game - Wish there were more levels available... Also, don't understand why it matters which piece you choose... Sometimes it's a bonus piece, but it just gives more points. I don't want points; I want more levels.

I've visited CCL's store many a time, in sunny old Bradford. What a great little game

This reminds me a lot of "The Incredible Machine" a game released by Sierra a long time ago. The original was for DOS and there was a windows version later. I loved that game.

If you liked the flash game, the incredible machine and its sequels are now fairly easy to find and download and it includes at least 80 levels and many more gadgets/tools to build with.

Here's a link to The Incredible Machine 3 at Home of the Underdogs.

jsavimbi: you drag and drop the machine parts, then press go. press stop, rearrange as necessary.

I hate that if you don't get one level fast enough, you go back to the beginning.

Yikes...I couldn't do level 1. Cool, though.

Awesome game. I second (maybe 3rd) need for more levels though, or a customize level option.

I must be missing something; it didn't seem that hot to me.

Their site is awesome... (better than the CCL game, I agree.)
