FreeTinker is a clone of Microsoft Tinker (available as Windows Ultimate Extra for Windows Vista Ultimate users)
It is a puzzle game in which the player controls a robot through various mazes and obstacle courses. It includes 9 levels
How to play
See http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/629c52bd-257b-4d5b-a53a-c04d41262ee51033.mspx for original Microsoft Tinker help.
Differences from Microsoft Tinker
- Lasers, mirrors and magnets don't exist
- Unluckily I had no time to reverse-engineer Microsoft Tinker levels, so the two formats are incompatible
- No high-quality 3D animations and sounds
- Minimalist UI, just a menu (Restart level, Load level, Help, Exit) and the battery energy on the top-right corner of the screen
- Some bugs
