It wins the award for the weirdest title of the day, Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game previously on mobiles is now on the desktop and it's looking just as odd.

I will give it another award, the weirdest looking game I've seen all month too! Looks like it could be quite funny to make an automatic turkey carving device though.

About

I showed this one to a coworker who is known for rigging up things to make it work, told him he needs this one :D

I ended up getting this myself, and it was fun though short. Only $5 though so worth the cost to me. Interestingly, Ron Gilbert must have consulted on it, because he is mentioned in the credits under "additional game design"
