I remember seeing this game a while back and now an official version has been released for the Iphone and the PC. Crayon Physics is a puzzle game designed by 25 year old Petri Purho in 2007.

The object of the game is to get a ball from point A to point B. You move the ball to the star by using (virtual) crayons to draw the physical objects that make it possible to transport the ball to its goal. The player does not have control over the ball, but can interact with it by drawing shapes (like ramps, barriers).

What makes Crayon Physics so much fun is that there are a number of different ways to solve each level. Players can be as creative as they like and solve each puzzle through whatever means they can come up with.

The game is also quite captivating. The visual presentation is meant to look like a folded up piece of paper complete with childish crayon drawings. And the music is extremely unobtrusive and calming.

Check out the website here, or watch the demo video below.
