Is there any OS X native game similar to The Incredible Machine? Looked but have only found flash-based ones.

I found Enigmo but it's really not the same... Pangea Software

Are you all daft? Crazy Machines is the new incredible machine. It's downright awesome.

The actual app itself is in German, erik and has all German menus/options.

Also not a universal binary.

As a practical joke?

I don't know what to tell you, do you have the direct link to the english language .dmg? If you go to the site and click download (even while in the English version of the page), when you mount the .dmg it's the German version.

That might just be the demo. In that case complain to the company. If you buy the game, you get the English version. It's worth it, trust me. It really is The Incredible Machine for the 21st century and it works excellent on my 24" iMac running Leopard:
