Gameplay

The Incredible Machine 2 introduced new levels, an extended assortment of parts, a new interface, significantly improved graphics, sounds, and music, and two player hotseat play. It also improved on the "freeform" mode, allowing players to create completely playable puzzles by defining not only the participating parts, but also the set of circumstances under which the puzzle will be considered "solved". In terms of gameplay, this version provided the biggest addition to the series, while subsequent updates were basically only ports of the game to newer operating systems with updated graphics/sounds and sometimes new puzzles, but no new parts.

He summarized it as "a game that's as rewarding as it is challenging."[2] The Incredible Machine 2 won Computer Gaming World's Readers' Choice award for the best "Classics/Puzzles" game of 1995, although it was not among the editors' nominees.[3]

gollark: osmarks internet radio™ is convenient because we can broadcast directly into your brain via orbital mind control lasers.
gollark: osmarks internet radio™ has the best random music from my nonrandom music library.
gollark: You COULD just use osmarks internet radio™ or any music player application ever?
gollark: They're not opt-in though. Or opt-out. There's no escape.
