Crayon Physics - Solutions without Cheating

Crayon Physics is a free "game" put out by Kloonigames. This is a video of the prototype that Klooni put out before Crayon Physics Deluxe was available. You can get this prototype version here: http://www.kloonigames.com/blog/games/crayon/

You can buy Crayon Physics Deluxe here: http://www.crayonphysics.com/

Some of the solutions I've seen "cheat" by taking advantage of some flaws in the prototype. That is, you can draw lines inside other objects and they "pop-out". The solutions presented here use only the laws of real-world physics.

Enjoy.

Maybe I shouldn't have called it cheating. But, I did explain in the first few frames what I meant by cheating. Thanks for all of your comments!

I appreciate the video response, but want to let you know that I didn't have that version when I made my video.

"The solutions presented here use only the laws of real-world physics." lol at this, half of that wouldn't work in the real world, so not a very good comparison, nice video though. :)

Which half?

you made a lot of hard work out of the one @ 2:40secs, I draw one big straight line across all 3 platforms and drop a box.

Saying that, there are a few levels that I go the long way round

ur cheating!

[meresilence0]

it's not cheating. the whole point of the game is to use whatever you want to. but creating rules by yourself for yourself is completely okay too. arbitrary limitations are the basis of the whole concept of a "game" in any sense.

[spivotz]

no isnt

You could, I suppose, add personal limits or restrictions to add tot he challenge. Calling it "cheating" though is inaccurate.

To me that just seemed like a simple solution. In the reviews of the game on a few sites, it was praised for many reasons but one of its critiques was that a lot of the levels were not challenging enough and unimaginable. That, in order to get clever levels, you had to resort to custom downloads. I can appreciate that as I could only think of a few of levels to design. It would take a large team or a small team of creative level designers to come up with enough challenging levels to do.

I would have thought that it would be without using the push kind of thing when you click the circle and it can be pushed along
