PUZZTRIX Instructions

Game idea

PUZZTRIX brings to mind classical games such as Puzznic or Brix.
The goal is simple: Eliminate all colored objects!

These are the rules:
1. All movable objects are under the force of gravity.
2. If two or more objects are adjacent to each other, they "evaporate".
3. Movable bricks do not count as objects. Thus they do not have to be eliminated, actually they cannot be eliminated.

The difficulty of the levels varies from "super easy" to "hard". There is no time-limit.

Solutions can usually be found through logical analysis of the problem. They can hardly ever be found by chance.

Controls

Use your left mouse-button to select an object. Hold it down and move the mouse in the desired direction to move the selected object. If you move an object over an empty space, it will fall down until it hits another object, e.g. an elevator or a wall.

Attention: If you have moved an object onto an elevator you can keep control of it by holding down the left mouse-button!

Level statistics

The "level statistics" in the bottom-left corner shows you how many objects of a certain type still exist and thus how many are still to be eliminated.

Level selection

There are two buttons next to the level number (top-left corner) which allow you to choose another level to play. Use the right mouse-button to raise (lower) the level number by 10.

Restart level

As the levels get more difficult you will often run into impossible situations (for example if only one object of a certain type is left). To restart the level in such situations, use the "Load"-button!

Solutions

Please do not despair if you do not find a solution to a level and you get the feeling that it is impossible. We can assure you, that all G4B-levels have a solution, that can be found through pure logic reasoning (not by chance or quick reactions). Okay, we admit that there are some stages that require quick reactions, but these cases are definitely "doable"! Some problems can be solved through skillful timing when throwing objects onto or next to elevators. These levels were not built with that sort of solution in mind! It is worth the effort to look for a different less-frustrating strategy.

System requirements

PUZZTRIX is a java-applet. It should therefore run on all computers with java-capable browsers. The speed depends on the hardware it is running on.

Installation

Since PUZZTRIX is a java-applet it has not got to be installed. To start the applet online, simply click on the images (top of the page) or here . Loading the applet should take around 20 seconds with a 56k-modem!
