Video: Numpty Physics on the N900 – Incredible interactive drawing puzzle game
Numpty Physics is a brilliant game enjoyed by tablet users since the days of the 770, and its compatible for N900 owners too!
The basic premise of the game is to get the red thing (may change per level; here it’s the start button) towards the yellow thing (in this case, a star). You do this by drawing a myriad of tools from other boulders, levers, pulleys, pendulums and more.
Certain objects obey (or try to) the laws of physics (hence the name). e.g. Larger boulders will fall faster than smaller boulders like they do in real life (unless in a vacuum, aerodynamics defines the speed of a falling object…is thar right? I haven’t done physics in a while:p). Here, that’s defined by the line length.
You’ve got a paper like platform to work on and predrawn objects appear as obstacles or additional tools to get the red thing to the yellow thing. zehjotkah explains all of this and much more in the video below.

Hi Anita, Sorry for delay in reply, wordpress isn’t mailing me comment notifications.
To download for N900 you might have to go into extras devel apps.
You can add the “Extras Devel” catalogue to your N900 itself or alternatively go to
