Force Levels

[Papi Chalupa]

Does anyone have a strategy for the force levels? They continue to piss me off to no end.

I try to collect the smaller cells around me, and throw bigger ones into the giants with my "exhaust", so they shrink down to the point where I can absorb them

It helps me to think in terms of matching your cell's orbit with the orbit of the cell you want to absorb. Instead of using up huge amounts of your cell, trying to head directly toward the target cell in a straight line, like in the other levels, you gently adjust your orbit until it intersects their orbit. This helps conserve your mass, so you can absorb larger cells.

Adding speed to the direction you are already traveling will put you into a "higher" orbit (farther away from the object you are in orbit around). Reducing speed in the direction you are already traveling will put you into a "lower" orbit, closer in to the object you are orbiting. Very small changes at the right moment can adjust your orbit to cross the paths of many target cells.

This can take a lot of patience. You might have to slow the game down to the slowest speed to see whether your orbit needs to get "lower" or "higher" as you approach the target cell.

Hope this helps!

Developers put a video https://vimeo.com/8622631 - you can eat just center attractor and the rest just fly away.

I reinstalled osmos with the hopes of beating this level finally. I do wish that the master or forever levels were available for when you finish all of the levels in a tree (complete all of the ambient levels, get to play the ambient forever level for example). Ambient has to be my favorite and that's the only reason I'm trying to beat the last level I need before I can try it.

EDIT . . . I'm doing pretty good so far, about to jump into biggest attractor orbit

SUPER EDIT . . . oh man, I absorbed everything around the biggest attractor but wasn't huge enough to take it out, i have to peel off and absorb the second biggest first

Thanks for these responses! Really helped me get through them as well!
