A game to waste some time
PioneerX - 25/10/04 at 03:42 PM

As title really, I got stuck on level 16 for ages but just found the solution.

Good luck


heinlein - 25/10/04 at 06:49 PM

I took a quick look, but I don't know how to play. I dragged the mirror where I wanted it and turned it the way I wanted it, but the beam didn't bounce, it just stopped dead at the mirror and nothing else appeared to work after that.


scoobyis2cool - 25/10/04 at 07:52 PM

u have to use the arrow buttons at the bottom to rotate the mirror...

Pete


Ben_Copeland - 25/10/04 at 08:38 PM

OMG level 11 is annoying


scoobyis2cool - 25/10/04 at 11:53 PM

I'm stuck on level 18 and it's getting late, I'll try again in the morning...

Pete


PioneerX - 26/10/04 at 10:06 AM

took me ages to get level 11 too. It so annoying when you finally realise the answer is so simple you missed it everytime.


andylancaster3000 - 26/10/04 at 10:50 AM

I can't even do level 4 with the three 'splitters'... help!

13 is proving troublesome, got 11 in the end...


andylancaster3000 - 26/10/04 at 12:30 PM

Cheers!!!


Ben_Copeland - 26/10/04 at 01:24 PM

I can get all but one light on level 11

EDIT: HAHAHA did it

[Edited on 26/10/04 by Ben_Copeland]


ned - 26/10/04 at 01:37 PM

i had all but one, then the solution just clicked into place. easy when you now how isn't it ben


derf - 26/10/04 at 02:46 PM

Level 1: This one is easy, one mirror, one bulb.


Level 2: Place the interior mirrors before the outside one to avoid triggering the bombs.


Level 3: Laser beams travel through bulbs and don’t stop.


Level 4: Look for the diagonals.


Level 5: The first tricky one. The key: Refractors can be used more than once.


Level 6: All the splitters should be close to the central block.


Level 7: The double mirror goes just inside the door.


Level 8: The refractor points down, and goes to the left of the two bulbs in the center that the laser hits.


Level 9: The refractor goes at the very top, and the double sided mirror is the third thing the beam hits.


Level 10: The top clear part of the board is very very important. That is your shortcut.


Level 11: A tough one. The gap on the leftmost wall should have an ‘X’ of laser beams in it. The refractor and one mirror stay on the emitter’s side of that wall.


Level 12: All of the splitters except 1 are within 1 square of at least 2 bulbs. That splitter is 4 squares up and left from the laser.


Level 13: This should be as symmetrical as possible. There’s just a little jog with the refractors in the lower left.


Level 14: While 2 beams at once will turn a bulb off, 3 beams at once will turn it back on. This is key to this level.


Level 15: You do not need the double sided mirror. Just place all the mirrors and refractors carefully before you slide the mirror in that will activate the laser (just like level 2, trace the path out beforehand so ou don’t hit any bombs)


PioneerX - 26/10/04 at 03:05 PM

yes, I found the hints site too, but only goes as far as level 15. I'm stuck on 18, HELLLLLP.


scoobyis2cool - 26/10/04 at 03:10 PM

I've got all but 1 bulb on level 18 with 3 mirrors left but just can't see how to get that last one!!

Pete


PioneerX - 26/10/04 at 03:14 PM

Always two bulbs left and one mirror. Does not seem to mater which way I do it, I still get two unlit bulbs


Chris Green - 26/10/04 at 03:16 PM

an excellent game! cheers.

This one requires a similar way of thinking....

Dyson Game


Chris Green - 26/10/04 at 03:28 PM

The tip for number 9 doesn't make sense to me? I can't see how the double sided reflector can be the third thing the beam hits?

I've managed to get the bulb in the middle, but not the one at the top.

Has anyone got any other suggestions?

Cheers!

EDIT: Got it now, the double sided mirror is actually the 4th thing the beam hits.

I'm stuck on level 10


Ben_Copeland - 26/10/04 at 04:26 PM

Ok, the hint for 13 really really doesn't help

EDIT : Got it Now, it does help a little but it's still not easy !

[Edited on 26/10/04 by Ben_Copeland]


heinlein - 27/10/04 at 01:43 AM

Once I figured out which side of the mirror was reflective in level 1; I progressed fairly quickly to level 11. Still working on that one, but not using any hints.

[Edited on 27/10/04 by heinlein]


heinlein - 27/10/04 at 06:25 AM

12-15 are easy in comparison to 11.


jollygreengiant - 27/10/04 at 10:38 AM

Ok folks thats level 18 completed on to 19!

Can post answer if requested but you will kick yourselves!


Enjoy


ned - 27/10/04 at 11:54 AM

level 18 done

my tip is the top two bulbs are lit by a single horizontal laser, work backwards from there

pioneerx, you're along the right sort of lines..

[Edited on 27/10/04 by ned]


scoobyis2cool - 27/10/04 at 12:16 PM

OK can someone PLEASE post a solution to level 18, it's doing my head in!!

Might be best to put it in your archive so it doesn't spoil it for anyone that doesn't want to know

Cheers

Pete


PioneerX - 27/10/04 at 12:25 PM

Thanks for the tip ned. Got there in the end. Level 19 here we come.


PioneerX - 27/10/04 at 12:27 PM

scooby,

heres the Level 18 answer - CLICK


scoobyis2cool - 27/10/04 at 12:31 PM

Never mind, I just got it! Time for Neighbours then I'll tackle level 19. I love being a student

Pete

Edit: Wow, I managed to squeeze in level 19 before Neighbours even STARTED! This is turning out to be a highly productive day...

ned - 27/10/04 at 12:46 PM

level 22 here i come woohoo! i have pics of all solutions


phelpsa - 27/10/04 at 01:41 PM

Level 10


ned - 27/10/04 at 01:46 PM

anyone else managed 23 yet?

i seem to have gotten a bit stuck.

I've figured the top bulb has ot be last as you cn't pass a laser through it, but have trid a huge number of combinations with no joy:

ned - 27/10/04 at 02:18 PM

you're just jealous ben, cos I had to show you how to do 17


Ben_Copeland - 27/10/04 at 02:21 PM

Yep, we dont all have time or patience to sit all day and play that game hope your boss catches you lmao


scoobyis2cool - 27/10/04 at 04:03 PM

OK now I'm stuck on level 22, there seem to be 2 bulbs that have to be last.

Any tips?


Ben_Copeland - 27/10/04 at 04:07 PM

OK, who wants to hint on 19


jollygreengiant - 27/10/04 at 04:23 PM

Ok thats it I admit it Im a dumb-clutz. Gisa clue on 19


Ben_Copeland - 27/10/04 at 04:31 PM

HAHA I did it

But 20 is just as hard

[Edited on 27/10/04 by Ben_Copeland]


mookaloid - 27/10/04 at 05:18 PM

Ned, any one, please, 17 is doing my head in,

Two reflectors at corners nearest laser, double reflector in middle, prisms at furthest corners and reflector in middle between.


jollygreengiant - 27/10/04 at 06:27 PM

19 down going 20


scoobyis2cool - 27/10/04 at 07:01 PM

Hey Ned, any luck with level 23? I'm stuck on that one now too

Pete


jollygreengiant - 27/10/04 at 07:27 PM

Movin' on ta 24


JoelP - 27/10/04 at 07:56 PM

how do you type in the code to get back to the level you left it at? i closed it on 9 by accident but cant be arsed doing them all again... i got the code, where do you put it?!

sorted it, its on the + button...

[Edited on 27/10/04 by JoelP]


scoobyis2cool - 27/10/04 at 09:57 PM

Anyone? Level 23? I'm going insane here!!!

Pete


JoelP - 27/10/04 at 10:16 PM

gimme 24 hours! im at 17 now...


heinlein - 27/10/04 at 10:53 PM

finally got 17


ned - 28/10/04 at 08:48 AM

JGG, am I anywhere near or on the right lines to the solution?

if only i had one more damned refractor!!

phelpsa - 28/10/04 at 08:59 AM

Can someone tell me how to do L10


jollygreengiant - 28/10/04 at 09:46 AM


Last one


ned - 28/10/04 at 12:01 PM

roll on 24

tip for level 23, the centre bulb has 3 beams passing through it and you use a refractor from both sides in there too


jollygreengiant - 28/10/04 at 07:11 PM



24 DONE



The world hates a smart Ar*e


JoelP - 28/10/04 at 07:57 PM

19s a bit of an arse...

Thanks mate - actually that is no help at all - and I have no hair left now

Cheers

Someone tell me how to do 10!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam


PioneerX - 29/10/04 at 09:44 AM

phelpsa,

Solution uploaded to my acheive.


phelpsa - 29/10/04 at 10:04 AM

L11 was easy!


JoelP - 29/10/04 at 10:00 PM

19s still a bastard... one more mirror or one more refractor and it would be done. what a bugger.


pbura - 29/10/04 at 10:12 PM

Did 19 a couple of nights ago and forgot the password. Was it 'dsdl'? Damn.

Now I can't remember how I solved it. 20 also had me stuck.


JoelP - 29/10/04 at 10:19 PM

ccd is 19. sorry to those who thats ruined it for, but at least its not a solution!

damn it ive been so close to that one and missed it... cheers JGG!

hey that still doesnt work!

done it now...

[Edited on 29/10/04 by JoelP]


heinlein - 1/11/04 at 12:15 AM

11, 16, 17, and 18 were all pains but so far no hints - On to 19.

[Edited on 1/11/04 by heinlein]


heinlein - 1/11/04 at 03:54 AM

19 was easy with no hints, But I have to admit trying something I didn't know was legal. It let me do it and gave me the code for the next level so I guess it was legit.


heinlein - 1/11/04 at 05:05 AM

20 was easier than 19


heinlein - 1/11/04 at 05:37 AM

21 just takes a little thinking which is a good thing because that's all I'm capable of.


heinlein - 1/11/04 at 06:48 AM

Had me baffled for a little while.


JoelP - 1/11/04 at 09:04 PM

22 had me baffled for a long time. in fact, it still does... actually its 21...

[Edited on 1/11/04 by JoelP]


heinlein - 2/11/04 at 07:58 AM

I wasn't trying to brag - yes I was, but only a little.
If you want I'll see if I can remember which code was for 21 and give a hint or two.


JoelP - 2/11/04 at 08:36 AM

twas rambus, and a piccy of it half done would be much appreciated!

oh, now i remember, i did 21 and rambus is 22... stumped on that though, but not been on it long.


Spyderman - 2/11/04 at 02:11 PM

Still struggling with 17.
Can get all bar one light, the one at the top centre.
My brain must be fading cuz I usually like puzzles!

Terry


heinlein - 2/11/04 at 05:35 PM

I went back and did 21 again b4 I found out it was 22 you're working on. It took me a little time to re-figure out 21. 22only took about a minute, but there are more items on the screen to trigger the memory. I don't know how to post a snapshot of the screen, but if you want a hint let me know.
If I remember 17 was tough, but I haven't looked back at it yet.
I think this game has made a lot of us realize our brains are fading.

[Edited on 2/11/04 by heinlein]


pbura - 2/11/04 at 05:43 PM

Puts some more wrinkles in the old cerebellum for sure! Finished on Saturday night, and can't believe how JGG was whipping through it.

I wish there were some more levels

Pete


heinlein - 2/11/04 at 08:49 PM

Congratulations Pete!

ps I did go back and do 17 again if anybody needs a hint let me know.


heinlein - 2/11/04 at 08:51 PM

Congratulations Pete!

ps I did go back and do 17 again if anybody needs a hint let me know.


heinlein - 2/11/04 at 11:02 PM

If I could change one refractor into a mirror I would be done. Need to find a more efficient route.

Yes please 'cos it's drivin' me up the friggin' pole!


Brooky - 4/11/04 at 12:00 PM

Level 17 ( turn away if your squemish - or dont want hints )

Start with a splitter then send the right leg through a mirror to point down right and get a bulb.
send the beam round the box on the right hand side then up to the top middle.
simple huh !

[Edited on 4/11/04 by Brooky]


Spyderman - 4/11/04 at 02:27 PM

You're a saint, thanks!

That is so easy in hindsight!

WOW St. Brooky,
Just hope mikeR reads this............

Level 25 is an absolute sod, I've been stuck on it for ages!

Hints anyone?

OK if you really ARE stuck and IF you really must LOOK then go to my pictures & have a nose at 'level 25'.
