Can't stop playing this game

[Belmit]

Even though I've done all the levels! It starts out fairly easy but soon gets pretty tricky, and the white levels are hard to see on some monitors. You just have to draw shapes to get the ball (or square) to the flags. You basically start out by plugging the holes and just nudging the ball around, but later you have to start building contraptions like trebuchets to get the ball around. Bloody addictive, and infuriating.

I was playing this a few days ago, i got stuck at level 12 or 13 think, really infuriated me!

[LeperousDust]

Yeah ok it was 12, how the fudge do you do 12?

Funny that you're not paid for it either! :p

//Edit: W00t, no need to worry i've done it, dammit i've got so many other things i could (should) be doing now this game is NOT one of them!

//Edit2:WTF is level 13 on about :(

[BBx]

I skipped 13 and did it almost last. Couldn't figure out a way to propel the ball up the slope so I knocked it bit by bit and kept dropping little tiles to stop it rolling down again. I tried all sorts before that, including using the angles of the roof to make support struts and building a ceiling! It didn't help.

Edit: Like this. Haha!

I managed 13, and i've only just realised you can do them in any order =/

I made up some kind of strange thing that kicks when a big ball is dropped on one beam, loads of strange joints though took about 4 goes to perfect. Impressed when it worked though, it only took me 8 peices!

15 is now a bitch though...

[Belmit]

15's easy. 24 is the bitch.

For 15 you just need to attach a long hinged rod between the square and the floating block, then knock the block over the edge and it swings into the flag.

[LeperousDust]

I'm still doing them in order, i thought since i started :p On 20, and i just cba making yet another see saw catapult thingy. I'm impressed myself with my engineering and moments though :D

[LeperousDust]

Just spent the last 10 minutes making a chain, and erased the wrong link =/

[divine]

building contraptions like trebuchets

lies.

The entire game can be done pretty much by attaching a chain to the ball and dragging it past the flags. Only one or two levels can't be done like that :p

[Belmit]

Whoa, hold on. You can drag them?

[LeperousDust]

I can't drag them, and i haven't found an easy way to beat this game, especially without using 100 peices. Most can't be done with well under 10 (i've done loads with 4/5), if you're making chains you can't do that :)

24/25 i really cba with now, doing my head in and i'll give up with those two :)

Spoiler alert...

Level 24 movie (http://darrynreeder.com/Videos/Level24.m4v)

Just playing with my camcorder, please ignore if you dont want to see A solution to Level 24.

Just found this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYqmVA1lkZY) with all the solutions... WOW.

[LeperousDust]

Wait a damn moment, i didn't realise you could attach things TO the ball. FFS! I've done all of them without doing this! What a frigging waste of time...

[divine]

Whoa, hold on. You can drag them?

lol

Yes, you can, the game isn't really very difficult when you play it like that though.

Level 24 for example, is easy, just attach a chain to the ball, build it over the wall and then drag the ball over with a weight and it hits. Easy peasy :p

[Belmit]

Oh I see what you mean. That is pretty much how I did that level. It's so much more fun making see-saws and dropping weights on them to catapult the ball about though!

[Desmo]

Had a little play with this today and going to have another stab now. Not been doing any dragging though, just smacking the ball along any way I can :D
