Another cool physics-based game.
http://www.physicsgames.net/game/Color_Infection.html

The goal is to turn all of the yellow balls brown by colliding them with brown balls. It's pretty easy compared to some of the other physics-based games, although some of the puzzles on the higher levels might leave you scratching your head for awhile.

1. I'll be damned if I can get past the third level
Edited on Mon Mar-02-09 08:38 PM by sammythecat
I restarted that 4 or 5 times. It seems impossible.

god i'm dumb

cool graphics though. very realistic motion.

3. Do you mean this level?


I got them all, eventually. That one gave me a bit of trouble though.

4. That's the one
I gave up. I didn't see how it could be done.

I'll try DS1's formula. Fucker probably got it right away.

7. oh that one
let the first ball click its way down the ramps, the trick is to release both ends of the ramp quickly so it falls down horizontally

8. I had a feeling the trick was dropping it horizontally
I'm just not coordinated/dextrous enough to be able to click them both that quickly.

I'm glad to know that I had the solution, though, and only stymied by a touchpad laptop mouse and lack of coordination.

12. there's a few more levels that rely on timing and trial and error
Edited on Mon Mar-02-09 09:42 PM by DS1
which is disappointing, but still it's a nice little time waster, some of the solutions in action are pretty amusing

20. Yeah, I did the rest of them - some are pretty cool and clever.
A few that relied solely on timing as the "skill" necessary were rather boring.

25. It helps to slow it down from speed 1 to speed 1/2.
The help menu tells you how to do this. I used the tilde key, just below ESC on my Mac keyboard.

27. Thanks! That did it! WOO HOO!
Now I have them almost all done.

I like how it remembered this morning what I'd done last night.

10. I thought is was one move at a time
and the balls had to stop before making the next move.

That's my problem. I didn't consider doing it in a "non-standard" way.

6. I call the top pink thing 0
then zig-zagging down the pink things are 1,2,3,4. I can only manage to get 2 balls to the bottom. I can't release any of them without opening the 0 gate. Tried 2341 every way I could think of. Now I'm pissed./

Gotta get a drink.

Do you have the formula for this one? I'd like to do it and then just except my dumbness. I can't imagine what level 25 is like.

9. I did it the same way DS1 did.
You have to be kind of quick to get both ends of the ramp, and I found it easier to do the left then the right.

14. Got it!
I should stop and be satisfied but I know I'll go back after a bit. I was stymied by my own self imposed rules.

19. when the left side is coming up and hits horizontal, drop the yellow ball
on its way right, drop the brown one so it kicks the yellow back to the left

back, and to the left

Hi,
Thanks, that was fun. Have you ever played The World of Goo? I didn't particularly care for it, but I liked this and finished them.

Peace

23. DAMN YOU! Now I'm addicted!
There's a reason I haven't let myself get started playing computer games -- until tonight.
ACK -- I can NOT get the 4th one in the 1st row, the 5th one in the 2nd row, or the 1st one in the 3rd row. Wicked hard, they are.

That took a while. The trick on the last puzzle was to drop one ball on the other so they would go in different directions.

The eighth one on the second row gave me the most trouble.
