Just when the tech enthusiasts, world over were beginning to get over their ‘Are you on Google+?’ syndrome, the search giant has got back to doing what it does best – taking people by surprise. This time its surprise is an interactive game, called Nexus Contraptions (Click here to play).

Level 1 - This was easy!

Although just a day old, or so it seems, the game seems to have caught everyone’s fancy. The game is comprised of four main stages, which have been further divided into sub-stages. On the opening screen, the user is presented with an array of Google Apps, including YouTube, GMail, among others. Each app basically represents one stage, and every major stage is represented by a unique colored robotic arm. The user is expected to bounce all the Nexus S balls into a red funnel, and for doing so there are a couple of contraptions that have been made available – rubber bands, fans, bombs, magnets, among others.

All that a user has to do is strategically place the contraptions to direct the balls to the red funnel. However, after a number of (un)successful attempts, I, for one realized that it indeed is easier said than done. But, I guess a shiny new Nexus S handset by the end of it all, should give you that push! Do let us know what you thought of it. You could also share your scores with us. Well...we’re just curious!
