A FEW LITTLE ANSWERS
Curious already?
Do I need to know anything about physics?
Just bring your curiosity. Start with a few parts or a guided challenge, press Play, and see what changes. Experimenting is the whole point.
Is it a puzzle game or a sandbox?
Both. Follow a challenge with a goal to work toward, explore a ready-made machine, or start with an empty workbench and make something entirely your own.
Can I share what I make?
Yes. Export a short video with sound, or share an editable invention file. A friend can import the file into Things In Motion on a compatible device and make their own version.
Is it free?
Free to start: the first five challenges, a starter kit of parts (letter blocks included) and thirteen machines you can take apart. One optional purchase, the Full Workshop, unlocks the rest. No ads, no subscription.
Can I download it yet?
Yes. Things In Motion is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and Mac, and the one optional purchase covers all three.
