Am I too stupid to play this game?

[Paul]

Currently stuck at 69 orbs. Once the reverse gravity starts kicking it the puzzles become mindbogglingly hard. I hate that pink light with a passion. Any general tips for puzzle newbs, without directly spoiling how to solve the individual puzzles themselves?

I seriously love this game btw.

i only have two puzzles left. can't think of any solution for them.

[Danosaur]

im going to guess one of the puzzles is a room with 4 buttons, with two gravity swapping things and 4 doors to open, if it is then clone one guy on the top left button, hit the gravity swap, move your guy in the same place (but now up side down). see if you can get it from there.

i'm also going to guess the other puzzle is a room where 1 clone is stuck and cant be used, pink light on the left red on the top floor blue on the bottom, two buttons and a gravity swap, (this was the hardest imo and hard to explain from memory) i think for now the only tip i should give is that the button in the red light can be reached from the far left in the pink area.

hope these were the ones you were stuck on, if not maybe it can help someone else, have fun :)

Alright, I went back and solved a few puzzles from earlier in the game that were giving me trouble. phew! Im at 91 orbs./ These two still are causing me grief. Any hints?

This one just seems impossible with only two clones available (2 are stuck at the entrance).

I understand with the second one that I gotta kill off my dudes in the blue pit, but theres something essential im missing here..

official "HELP ME!?" thread?

bump for help

First one, looks like you put your dude on the middle area too soon.

Second, the button you have one standing on has already done what it needs to do.

For the second one, if I try to get the dude off the switch and onto th e other switch, my guy falls from up top, and I cant replace him because of the blue light that pops up.

Once you have the guy on the platform with the orb, hold left until the other two guys are on the ground floor, take control of the guy closest to the buttons and go left until one falls into a pit and you are within swapping range of the orb guy. Drop your now available clone onto the far button, eliminating the red light and letting you swap to the guy on the orb.

For your first one, place a dude on the middle platform and then edge your guy just into the red light such that you can still swap out of it. Aim to the upper left so the clone you create has to drop a bit and swap into him immediately as he begins to drop and move your clones to the right. If you do it right you'll use one less clone to reach the button in the purple light. You have the right idea in the screenshot, having the extra clone will make it easy.

Definitely the hardest puzzle that I experienced.

I just figured em out before I read that^^ Thank you though.

That and the other one that was two gravity switches and 4 floor switches, four doors, hard to figure out too! But when i tried to get rid of the clones by jumping it didnt worked because they werent completely aligned, once I aligned them I got rid of them and it was just a matter of correct positioning my clones to solve the puzzles.

three tips that helped me clear every puzzle:

Movement. remember when you place a clone somewhere and start moving the clone moves with you which I believe is to be EXTREMELY bad for you. You want to restrict your movement much as possible after clone placement(s) (unless its that box moving one or something like that. Just keep movement to a bare minimum unless its required always be on the lookout for swaps.

Hold Down Right Click Slow Mo: I needed to implement this combined with the swapping quite a bit in the end game puzzles

Distance: Remember the blue and pink colored lights only restrict swapper mechanics IN the light you can still place clones past the lights! Not to mention sometimes increasing the distance of placement can surprise you.

Combine those 3 ideas and you should start to make logical connections that you weren't making before! helped me out big time on the hard puzzles.

Edit: One more mechanic: Let's say you are on the ceiling with a clone directly below you. Jumping will cause the clone on the bottom to be destroyed much like when you run into them on normal ground. That one helped me with the hardest puzzle in the game, freed up another clone for completion!

@Rajon you're a life saver. That last "Edit:" saved my day :)

Can you explain this maybe another way? I don't really get what you're saying. Maybe I haven't reached a part of the game where you'd be "on the ceiling" yet.
