If you thought Google+ was the coolest thing Google unveiled this week, you obviously haven’t seen Nexus Contraptions yet. It’s a flash-based web game that has me all giddy for its similarities to a favorite from my youth, The Incredible Machine. The main object of the game is to use various objects such as rubber bands to guide, bounce, and fling Google apps into a funnel, the end result being the production of a shiny new Nexus S handset. But you gotta act quick because you are being timed! You can find the game over at YouTube. Report back with your high scores!

Am I the only one curious why this cool, interactive game is on YouTube?
showing oiff new tools possibly ?
It doesn’t work for me. I can release the ball but I can’t seem to to anything else. I assume there’s a tool shelf that pulls out on the right side but I’ve clicked everywhere and can’t get it to open. Anyone else having problems or am I missing something?
weird… pointing on the area of the shelf pulls it out for me.
Yeah this definitely isn’t working in IE9, Chrome 12, or Firefox 5…
