Microsoft releases new Vista game: Tinker!
Well actually it’s only a mini-game and a Vista Ultimate Extra, but it rocks! Best of all, you can create your own levels.
Tinker is the name of the game, it’s a puzzle-like mini game. It is directed at the casual gamer, but even advanced players and puzzlers need a little bit of patience to complete all levels of the game. You control a little robot, that you can move with the arrow keys. Bombs, lasers, domino stones, dices and lots of other stuff block your way to a specific point somewhere in the level. You have to get there ..somehow!
I absolutely recommend to finish all the tutorials to get a feel for the game, even if they are boring at first. The higher you climb the more fun! Lot’s of cool animations and graphics give this game a modern touch, but see for yourself, here are ten screenshots of that new mini-game:

Learning the basics
Another of the tutorial levels
You get points for pick-ups and the the number of turns needed. The faster you complete a level the better!
What confused me was that sometimes the game did not recognize that I was stuck, and there was no way out.
Level completetd ! Yay!
Hmm ..
Too bad .. let’s try again!
Ouch, that laser hurts 
Another great addition to Vista Ultimate. The next time I would love to see a fast mini-game like bomberman!

@All
You can submit Twinker Levels here

Added a new category for them!
Tutorial level 11 infuriating! The help doesn’t show how to get it done with energy within par value! Anyone know?
ok I see the new category to submit your tinker levels but how do I see what other people have uploaded?
I have tried these:
http://vistadesktopthemes.com/category/vista-tinker-levels
http://vistadesktopthemes.com/category/tinker-levels
what else should I try? I don’t see a link for them… maybe I am just blind.

You can find user-submitted stuff here:
http://vistadesktopthemes.com/category/user/
The link is at the top.
But I agree this is not very user-friendly, I will make the category visible on the frontpage as well.
Ls,
If you want to play some custom levels, try these on for size..
