Contraptions Design Specification

Section 4.3.x : Challenges

By Kenneth Manta

Find the egg!




Challenge Types

Each Challenge will have additional more difficult challenges. The more difficult challenges will be similar but have addional requirements. Should the challenges make sense storywise?

A completed challenge will be considered unlocked. In addition the 5 lowest challenges that are not completed will be considered unlocked. This will help prevent placers from getting stuck on that "one annoying level."
The additional challenges only appear after a challenge was completed on the previous difficulty.

Challenges: 50 (10 in demo)
