Rather addictive. The true beauty of this thing is in that you can save your widgets and paste links to 'em to spread the awesome. The secondary true beauty of the thing is once you have cleared a level, you can use the stage select option to look at others' solutions! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITED ONLY BY YOUR PROCESSOR POWER

This is some really awesome shit. There seems to be sort of a mini-boom for games like this. That is, games that are less about achieving the goal and more about having an intuitive set of tools and a physics playground to frolick in. Phun and Crayon Physics come to mind, although I know I've seen a couple others of that ilk.
Does "Tower of Goo" count?

Good lord this game is addictive.
Here's
a thread on the Straight Dope forums filled with all kinds of mad genius brought to life in this game.

I was about to go to sleep when I was shown this.
Eh, not like shirking sleep is rare for me. I'm gonna give this a whirl. The worst that could happen is that I wake up late for... World of Warcraft? Yeah, that's about the worst that could happen.

Heh. Well, I didn't think to make machines rather than different weird car type things up until I started looking at contraptions other players had built. Anyway, my solution is actually sort of an inefficient one. It still works, and that's great and such.
Then again, there's a way to beat this puzzle with three parts. Two of them are sticks.

On that note, Shini needs to get in here to show people his catapult. >:
