The Brain Strainer

The Brain Strainer is an engineering puzzle game. Launch your rocket by getting the ball onto the red button. The trick is to do it within 10 minutes, but at the same time, you want to score as many points as you possibly can by bouncing the ball as if it this was your own personal pinball game.

And, of course, that's the rub. You want to build a machine that will get the ball to launch your rocket, but you also don't want it to happen quickly. Amazingly enough, that ball will hit that button eventually unless you completely block it off.

Tip: don't leave any flat spaces. The ball can (and will) stop because of friction. Another tip, if the ball is bouncing around too much, switch to one of the others. There are three balls to choose from: rubber, wood and metal.
