Crayon Physics is a freeware puzzle game designed by Petri Purho and released on June 1, 2007. Its object is to guide a ball to a goal point marked by a star or, in the final level, multiple stars. The player does not have direct control over the ball, but can interact with it by drawing shapes with the mouse (e.g., ramps to allow the ball to roll from one platform to another). In this way it is both reminiscent of puzzle games like Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball and adventure games such as Okami and Magic Pengel.

The Prototype

The original game was developed in five dayscite web|url=http://www.slate.com/id/2186848/ |title=Crayon Physics Deluxe, an ingenious video game that looks like it was designed by a third-grader |accessdate=2008-03-20 |author=Chris Baker |date=2008-03-19 |pages=2 |publisher=Slate (magazine)] using resources freely available under the Creative Commons license. The game was inspired by descriptions Purho had heard of the children's book "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and is Purho's tenth "rapid-prototype project" inspired by the rules of the Experimental Game Project. On June 102007, Purho announced that he would be developing a level editor to permit user-created levels, although by June 15 members of the Crayon Physics fanbase had already worked out the XML in which the levels were coded and had released new levels for the game. The level editor was released on June 30.

Crayon Physics Deluxe

On October 12 2007, Purho revealed that he had secretly been developing Crayon Physics Deluxe, which will feature an intuitive level editor, more levels, and a modification to the physics engine which better preserves a player's drawings instead of squaring them off. No release date has yet been announced. It would come out in PC platform starting from $20 at www.kloonigames.com. It won the Seumas McNally grand prize at the Independent Games Festival in February 2008.

Chris Baker of "Slate" wrote that "Crayon Physics Deluxe" was more talked about than "Gears of War 2" at the 2008 Game Developers Conference.
