Armadillo Run is without a doubt the greatest indie shareware game I've ever found - so good, I felt that it was my god-given duty to share it with you good people.
The object of the game is to build a contraption that will guide a ball to a designated area, using various materials at your disposal. All of the materials have different strengths and weaknesses, and some are more expensive than others. Cloth might be cheap, for instance, but it sags under pressure, whereas a more expensive metal sheet can support more weight, but must be given more support itself due to its mass. The trick is rigging up something that's as efficient as possible without going over budget. The entire thing is based on a really impressive physics engine, so your creation will react with the ball just the way you'd think it would.
I probably did a really bad job of explaining that, so if you're confused, just remember: PHYSICS! SHINY! BOUNCY! ARMADILLOS! FREE DEMO!
