Amazing Alex was a physics-based puzzle game created by Rovio Entertainment,[3] developer of the popular strategy game Angry Birds.
Amazing Alex was announced by Rovio's CEO, Mikael Hed, on Yle's breakfast television in May 2012.[4] The game was based on Casey's Contraptions, a game created by Noel Llopis of Snappy Touch, and Miguel Ángel Friginal of MysteryCoconut, whose rights were acquired by Rovio.[5]
The game featured educational elements and revolved around the character Alex, described as a curious boy with an interest in building things.[6] The goal was to create various Rube Goldberg-esque machines to get a ball to a certain location. The game held similarities to The Incredible Machine, originally released in 1993.[7]
On April 13, 2015, the game was removed from the App Store and Google Play.[8]
