Virtex Edge Design will be releasing The Chaotic Workshop on Steam next month, but there is a beta you can currently sign up for. The game is a cartoony sandbox game using physics to solve 50 puzzles, with 70 items which include rockets, pinball bouncers, tennis ball cannons and proximity mines:

There's no hand holding in this Rube Goldberg style game, and with only a basic Tutorial, you are left to your own devices to experiment, design and engineer, different contraptions to see what impact or result hooking up different items together can have.

You can check out the Steam page right here.

From rockets to pinball bouncers, tennis ball cannons to proximity mines, it is up to you of how to get the job done.
