Done, Score 61353. Level 30 was... anticlimactic.

Of course, I kept leaving it and going back, so the time score isn't exactly what it could have been if I drove myself mad trying to finish in the shortest possible time. Still, I made it to page 15 of the high scores!

I hate lvl 16 so much.

Ill LOVE you if anybody can tell me just ONE of the color paths that is correct for lvl 16. Just so I have some sort of stability. I am not sure of a single color and I hate it!

I beat 16 and realized there isnt an effective way to describe the solution.

sorry for double posting but I think lvl 26 is completely misplaced, its far easier than some of the earlier puzzles.

edit: err not double posting but triple posting!

Indeed, the puzzle order seems a bit odd. I got stuck on 16, 23 and 27, but the rest were fairly easy. And adding in the black boxes seems to actually make the puzzles easier, because they are usually set up so that they add constraints on where you can go. Fewer options = faster solving time.

I'd be willing to pay for it, if it's available for purchase anywhere.

Do you have a mac? I did a partial rewrite in Objective-C to the point where it plays well, but otherwise has a rather non-functional user interface. I could even give you the source code, but I'm not sure even I would want to wade through what I wrote several years ago.

Alas, I was not able to duplicate the trippy music and backgrounds, nor the subliminal messages.

I am still stuck on 23, by the way. [Grumble]

I am also stuck on 16. It is the green box that gets me every time. Can someone just tell me which direction the green one on the east face should go to start?

Dang! Just realized the colors are random each time you play!

Spoiler for 16

Why was 17 so much easier! Agh!

Sure, that's easy. Start at one green box, it doesn't matter which. Then work your way toward the other green box.

Just sound silly once you say it out loud. [Big Grin]

I'm stuck on 20. I keep saying stuck, then I solve it the next day.


Hopefully I didn't just jinx it. I don't suppose anyone is taking screen shots of these just before they solve them so I can cheat?

I did for 18. It was the only one I remembered to at.

Ok now I am stuck on 19. I am sure it is something obvious but I am not seeing it. I spelt on it last night and played in my sleep which would be worth it if I could get it this morning. Ugh!

On 15, number the grid abcde across the top and 12345 down the side. On the west side face click A1 and connect it up to its match on the top face staying as close to the edge as possible. Now click D2. Go around the other color, c2,b2, then down, b3,b4, c4, c5. Then follow it all the way around the east face as close to the bottom edge as possible. On the top face, again stay on the east edge and connect it. Then there is a channel for the last color.

Now someone help me with 19. Please!

It seems like I had the same problems as everyone else. 16, 23, and 27 were ridiculously difficult, and all the rest were a breeze. I probably spent as much time on those three puzzles as I did on the others combined.

Does anyone know of similar games I can play? I really liked this one.

For those of you looking for more logic games, I've found a lot of good ones on this site: http://www.microgames.info/index.php?cPath=24

There's four pages, so be sure to click through to see all the games. Particular favorites of mine are Gridlock, Splash Back, Plumber 2, and Shrunken.

Yesss! Solved 23. I have a screen shot ... if anyone gets desperate....

Now I'm stuck on 26. No one else has complained about 26! I'm just blind today.

Edit: Oh my goodness. That was so simple. Why couldn't I see that?

I've been stuck on 17 for days. I come back to it every so often, sometimes every day, sometimes less. And people call it easy. 16 didn't take me nearly as long.

Katarain, 17 was so easy after trying to solve 16 but the next time I played I couldn't remember and it took me FOREVER! 19 was harder than 16 or 17 though. Now I am on 23 and have been since Tuesday. Part of me wants to break down and ask for the screen shot.

I had downloaded and I was stuck on 23. A couple of days ago, my husband did something to the computer and had to do a restore. Now I will have to start over.

I'm not doing that today.
