[Official Thread] FC iPhone App *Best Game of 2009!*

[BHCS]

well... i cant seem to finish "more balls" at ALL!! i can stop the balls from falling, but there isnt any space to make somthing to push the other balls

[weasel]

Yeah, More Balls is really hard to solve in the iPhone version and will likeyl be pulled in the next update.

[sprainedmind]

There seems to be a fairly major difference between the iPhone and the web versions of the game, in the amount of force needed to get things to pass through brown sticks. This solution for Four Balls really shouldn't fail like this:

Start:

Finish:

Just to prove it works, here's the same concept in the web version:

Yep, the versions are different. Check out this thread for details:

I've gotten Four Balls to work only once. I used a heavily tweaked conveyor with two spikes on it to push them up and in. I thought it was so awesome, so I saved it. Logged in the next day to find that it broke within two seconds of starting. *Sad face*

At least I still have the check mark by the level..

EDIT: I uploaded the design. Search "conveyor" by "Coolant"

[pokolo]

you mean

[Coolant]

I think that saving the level actually changes something about it, because I went back and checked some of the other ones I saved and knew worked and they were broke, too.

EDIT: I uploaded a working version! Search "conveyor 2"

[tes753]

[weasel]

Yeah, I'd seen that, but if wheels are going to fall through wood rods under gravity (i.e. no momentum) then that's a a bit more than "slightly different"

[dj-duf]

Yea i ment "No" problem you cant Expect that it will be the same just think difrent and make a new Contraption on a other way and it will work i solved like all 42 levels by now.
4 balls is hard but not inpossible!

[tes753]

Please delete the More Balls and replace it with a better level. (Hard is okay)
By the way weasel, can you and pacifist make up your mind on the price of the app?!? One time it was $2.99 (I got it then), then it went up to $7.99, then today I noticed it went down to $4.99, gheesh.... make up your mind.

[Dr. Phil]

replace it with corner office imo

[tes753]

Good idea. Or maybe something like Four Balls , but way more balls and a lot harder.

[Afronanny]

Something similar to This?
Not that exact level (although you can if you want, but i don't think it's up to FC standards)
Something with the pink barrier to work around.

Not really what I had in mind. I was thinking about having mulitple balls and having to make multiple conveyor belts or other lifing devices. Oh well...

Fantastic Contraption is now a Featured App on iTunes!
Congrats weasel and pacifist!

I got an email from itunes with FC in it!

So is there really a reason why we don't have a link to all these levels for the PC version? It doesn't seem to make sense to not have this provided and/or having the fantastic contraption site version updated. Even a search feature would make it infinitely better. Am I missing a thread with all this information or something?
