Sweet. I ended up at $424 on the demo. That's pretty cool.

I've had above $600 a few times.

Some people on another forum I visit that have had above $720.

I bought the game. If anyone else here does, it'd be neat to see the levels that are made.

I like these games. It is a lot like The Incredible Machine series from years ago.

Hmmm doesn't seem to let me open it - just asks for my registration code and when I enter it theres a blank screen.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 09:15

I didn't have any problems opening it. Did you rename the file to the proper name?

Oops

I didn't realise it had to replace the original file. I thought I could just open it.

Wow that is simple! I was waaaaaay over-complicating it. Thanks!

The site is there, but you can't buy it at the moment.

Ah ok, sorry for any confusion caused!

Its the only game like that that I've felt compelled to purchase so its worth waiting a couple of days for.

You didn't have to replace the original file. I just renamed it from 280907-Level8-Overheadslide.Stopper.lvl to Level 8-Overhead slide.Stopper.lvl, and it came up as a saved game.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 17:08

$700 on the demo? That's amazing to the point of incredulity. You only get a total of 1250 or something to begin with. I got to $586. Level 6, "Void 2" is the obvious candidate for optimization (I currently have $72 left of $250).

Currently, I have:

$40
$132
$92
$66
$184
$72

I am certain that my level 5 is optimal. I think it should be possible to do level 4 with $80 remaining, but I can't get the balance right. Still, that's only another $14. How are people making $700?

We should have an empeg collaboration on the demo. Take the best design for each level and see where we end up.

Just shows how differently people must see solutions. I'm way off Ricin's scores

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 20:29

The problem with the demo is that you can't share stuff. If you take a screenshot and show it it's only a representation. The physics change if you don't get pixel-perfect placing. ie. You wouldn't be able to replicate someone's design.

I don't see how $190 is even remotely possible for level 5, Give me a hint please.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 20:40

The way the physics works is pretty neat. Must have taken an age to create.
Posted by: CrackersMcCheese

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 20:40

I got 188 and used one item, once. Not sure how 190 is acheived. Maybe a different item?

Hmmm I did that but cannot get it to 190 - only 188. ??
Posted by: RobotCaleb

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 20:45

Yeah, 188 is the best that I've achieved on 5 also.
Posted by: Mach

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 20:53

See attached image for 190 solution.

192 is possible if you sub another item.

Ohhhhhhhh....I got it now myself

lol. Nice. I had tried using that, but on the bottom. Not sure how that works physics-wise, but I'll take it.

Not long, just a few mins, decided to try something, and it worked.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 02/05/2006 23:42

Because of the placement, it's swinging up just as the ball hits. Lowering the kinetic energy on the joint.

$174 on void 3

Anyone managed level 29 - Under and over or Extra 3 - Spiral? Or have anyone managed to upload solutions lately? The last one was uploaded May 1. Whenever I try, I get an errormessage stating that it needs to be a lvl-file.

Out of curiosity, what is everyone's total score so far, without the bonus rounds? I'm currently at 11401. In bonus, I'm at 6900 even.

Yes, and now it is. That was annoying me this morning as well.

To explain: Addictive means that it can cause an addiction. Addicting implies that it will always cause an addiction.

Since I'm not addicted to the game, despite playing it once, this implies that the correct term is "addictive".
Posted by: lectric

Re: Addictive Physics Puzzle Game - 18/05/2006 11:21

Well, to Ricin, perhaps it WAS addicting. It certainly was to me, except now that I've beaten it, it's just about tweaking it, which isn't as much fun, but fun nonetheless.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 18/05/2006 20:27

I'm not finished yet, currently at Cascade (which I'm having problems with so far) with just under 10k.

Re: Addicting Physics Puzzle Game - 19/05/2006 11:18

I don't know if I would say I'm hooked, but I think it's quite fun game, although I must admit I'm cheating a bit since I'm using some of the solutions to get past difficult levels...
