Kloonigames released the PC version of their creative (and cute!) Crayon Physics Deluxe yesterday.

There’s definitely a reason this game won the 2008 IGF Grand Prize. It’s innovative, easy to play, and fun. I mean, come on…it’s crayons!

I’ve been playing non-stop since I downloaded the demo. Usually, I’m well enough satisfied with the demo levels, but this game absolutely warranted a full download.

It’s cute. There’s just something about paper and crayons that’s positively smile-inducing. I like sniping enemies and sacking quarterbacks just as much as anyone, but I found the childlike simplicity of this game to be charming.

Crayon Physics Deluxe is damn clever, too. Don’t be fooled by the crayons — the whimsical little levels actually make you think. Every line and shape scribbled into the game follows the laws of physics. Draw a ramp, and the ball will roll down it. If your ramp is too short, it will fall into an abyss. Draw a pendulum and it will swing. If it’s not balanced well, it’ll swing in a funky way. Draw a box, and it will drop. If you drop it onto a lever, it’ll catapult something into the air (if it’s big enough, that is).

The folks at Kloonigames also included my favorite feature ever: a custom level editor. You can bet your face that I’ll be making all of the Rube Goldberg machines I’ve ever dreamed up…in crayon.
