Armadillo Run is a physics-based puzzle game. You have to build structures with the purpose of
getting an armadillo to a certain point in space. There is a selection of building materials, each
with different properties, which can be combined to form almost anything. The realistic physics
simulation gives you the freedom to solve each level in many different ways.
