Note written 2026-08-26; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Physics-based puzzle game where you build contraptions to solve increasingly complex challenges, in the spirit of The Incredible Machine.

Crazy Machines 3 is a quiet performer with solid four-figure monthly residuals and a 94% positive rating from nearly 10,000 reviews, indicating durable word-of-mouth appeal. The workshop ecosystem (3,600+ user creations) and low active player count suggest the install base is stable but unmonetized; there is meaningful opportunity for a revival campaign targeting puzzle enthusiasts, or for a publisher willing to maintain the title as part of a broader casual catalog. The studio appears inactive, but IP ownership and publishing rights remain clear, making acquisition or long-term publishing partnership straightforward. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: No developer activity in nearly 94 months; critical bugs or engine incompatibilities with future OS updates would require publisher intervention.
• Risk: Physics-puzzle genre is crowded; revival success depends on differentiation, not just maintenance.
• Risk: Workshop integration is a long-term asset but also a liability if moderation, licensing or platform dependencies change.
