I like games that make you think ... when you aren't playing them. This one woke me up yesterday and I realized I had figured out something significant. I had to wait until last night to try it out and was amazed at the difference. I was able to complete it using only 181 pieces, but now I want to go back and apply what I've learned to some of the levels that I totally sucked at.
Level 10 killed me. It took me a ridiculous 32 pieces in that one. I clearly have to figure out a better method. |

The biggest help is when you realize you can pin other shapes to the ball.
It's mentions it in the directions but I think most people skip over that point. I've done a lot of the harder ones building something like a trebuchet, then quickly erasing the connection to the ball so it will fly across the screen. With a little practice and using tricks like that, should be able to do it with less than 200, maybe even down to 150 range. |

OK, so I broke down and decided to try again. Now when I click on the link I don't see a way to start the game...
Hmmm... --------------------   |

For those who like puzzle/logic games.... this one kept me up for a month in college. Although it was difficult it may have had something to do with my blood alcohol content. Once you get to level 20 or so you pretty much have to figure out every move before you even start. Have fun...

For me, the big aha moment was when I discovered that I could lift the square and then pin the square inside a ball. Being able to push, or throw around a ball was a hell of a lot easier than moving a square object. Bar, I had the same problem. I think they did something to their link. I had to resort to searching the site for Magic Pen and it showed up. When I selected it, all my old scores were still there. |

Just watched a video where a guy did the whole game while only using 29 shapes.
Kind of cheated on a few of the levels by drawing a single shape in a way the game didn't like but resulted in the ball hitting the flag. For those who enjoyed this, you should really check out portal. While not free, for $10 it's worth every penny http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...5&hl=portal |

Cross geeza,
Do you think any of them left their keyboard and the game since we last posted?  Hamma's gone off the deep end.... obsessively dreaming of the game day/night - out on the street he can be seen absent mindedly making mouse movement motions and muttering strategies as strolls along with tunnel vision methinx!!  --------------------   |

I wish that were the case, my friend. I've been jammed with a big project and haven't had time for much gaming. I did enjoy going back to Magic Pen when I needed a break to clear my head. Lots of fun until Robert ruined it by mentioning that video. I hunted it down and was absolutely amazed at the solutions used. I had stumbled upon the same solutions for only a couple of them. If you haven't checked it out, give it a go, it makes for a nice diversion and challenges you to think spatially.
Now, isn't that spacial! |

So, you've been peering in my windows, eh?
Check this out. This guy carves INCREDIBLE wooden motorcycles that sell for thousands of dollars, all while serving a 25-year sentence... The guy is an incredible artist! The photo was taken before he carved the engine. He does every part out of wood, even down to the chain and cables. This post has been edited by HammaTime: 05/26/08 4:27pm Attached thumbnail(s)
