Hmm, I've been giving level 1 another try, still no luck.
You're right on being able to click and drag the "dying" pieces, however, for me, they are not re-played when I release them.

Seriously... I'm BEGGGGGGGGING you.

Explain to me how in the world you get past #7, where you start out with 14-15 sec, and destroying a guy doesn't give you any time, and retrieving a memory (which is rare) only gives you 10 seconds. That is toooooo freaking impossible, and I'd really like to get past it.

So please, those of you who are magically able to get through this, please share your insights and secrets, because it has to be more than random luck.

Well, actually, each red piece gives you 1/2 of a second, so two gives you one. However, I still agree that this is just about impossible to do. Also, the dragged pieces have placed for me a couple of times, however, they're too hard to catch, and the collision detection for where they land (if they even do) sucks (they've never ended up where I stop my cursor).

Okay i'll make a video for you guys XD. Becauase I don't really know how I get past them so easily. I'll attach it, and it should be ready by the end of the day hopefully.

OK wowo, since 7 was the last one I finished I hope this can help you! I think we have the same setup. The memory squares gave me +10, I started with like 15 or 20 time, and the red squares SEEMED to give me no time.

After getting over the beginning shitty time I thought it was easy. This one is all about placing as quickly as you can and then just waiting for the top special attack to appear. Just place super fast and IGNORE when the bad-guy makes your pieces fly away. Some levels you need to save those flying away but when you need TIME like in this level then you need to be killing red squares and shit and not wasting time saving the fliers. Sometimes i think too that when you ignore the pieces flying away and continue to drop more greens, the enemy places a whole bunch at once!! (this is GOOD when you need time!!)

So just keep clicking every chance you get on any of the red path squares. The red enemy squares do give something like +1 for sure in this level because you can tell when you kill more then 2 at once. (edit: maybe its 1/2 like you guys said?? I dunno, it was definitely going up is all i know)

So let the red guy place his pieces and let your pieces die when they fly away aaaaaand just keep clicking! lol this one is very frantic

I'm not sure how it is triggered but eventually the top special attack will appear and THAT'S the one you want. im assuming you have seen the three special attack buttons on the right? top, middle and bottom. If you are looking for one particular special attack to appear then do not use any of the others until it does!!! Level Six for example kept giving me the same special attack over and over and I kept using it over and over with no real help. But then I waited long enough one time and all 3 of them became available to me. I used one of the three and then they all disappeared. not until i realized this could I even beat the damned thing. the special attacks are crucial!!

The one you want for this level, wowo, is definitely the top special attack. It makes the enemy locked out from placing for quite a while!!!! Just survive long enough to hit that sucker and you will be golden to finish it off from there!!

I hope that made any sense! I did my best to make sense!

heheh fair enough wowo then I wish I could be of better help =( All I can tell you is how I managed to do it. Level six took me frigging Hours of retrying. I figured out the special attacks thing and was able to beat it quickly after that. Level Seven i beat after only a few tries again because of the special attacks.

and just a quick note, if you DO eventually see this one appear, dooont use the "make all the red pieces go away" special attack. That's the MIDDLE one and is very bad in a level like this. You don't get the time for the kills when it makes them disappear so therefor it sucks! the top special attacks stops the enemy from placing red pieces for what seemed like 30 seconds at least, allowing you to keep killing and building your path too while he does nothing. The BOTTOM attack is the one where you turn all the red pieces into green. This one ive used a few times too and is good if you have lots of time and the red pieces is overwhelming you!

also wow I may have just gotten lucky and got those memory squares at the right times?? those were definitely a big help even with just +10 and I got quite a few of them. I don't know where they come from but if they are random then you maaay just be unlucky!!

edit: do you also notice that when you click past the "my guys are flying away" bits, sometimes the red places a shitload all at once?? I was killing 4-6 enemies with each drop sometimes because of this! there were red pieces everywhere...

Well if you guys don't like 7 or 8 just wait till you see 10.
It's so much fun.

I'm getting the video prepped now.

[sublimetime]

also something to keep in mind. Try rebooting the whole thing. leave the game and come back into it. It should appear to start higher than 14 seconds the first time it plays. If you fail after this then it will again show as 14 seconds.

I just tested it and sure enough. Level Eight when I start from a reboot of the game started at 100 seconds. I failed intentionally. When I could see the timer again it was at 96 seconds. I could click during the missing 4 seconds but couldn't see the board properly because it was flashing in and out. This 4 seconds would make a frig-load of difference when you only have little time to start with (level 7!)

[cherrytree98765]

Word of warning to you guys who haven't gotten to Level 9. Do NOT pick up any of the green boxes. They mean an instant game over for that level.

Level 10 is more according to luck. I don't think there's a very skillful way to win that one. The only suggestion is replay your pieces always in that level.

[sublimetime]

whoa uhhh, well 8 took me foooreeever! I think the single round went for like 20 minutes and I had over 400 time! nerrrve racking!

9 was very different than the others!! and reading 9's thoughts, this person has prooooobleeems. i wont spoil why the level was easy but you'll be kicking yourself once you "get it"! heheh

aaaand 10 I started playing for 5 minutes and decidedly will continue this later! time to go see Thor and probably laugh for an hour and a half. I completely see what you mean on this level 10 though cherrytree!! its quite the opposite strategy I guess than the super fast levels.

[cherrytree98765]

@sublimetime: Actually the "Secret" to level 9 is not limited to it. You can actually "Win" through the other means, and it will be transferred to the next! It happened once to me.

[duke9509]

Ok, I've gotten a lot closer a few times now that I've noticed something: I think this is partly due to the slight delay between your click and a piece getting placed, but the game will actually register a click when the meter is somewhere in th 90s.

Also, you don't have to quit the game and come back, just use the reset button either right after game over, or when the timer reaches 1. The animation on the button is only 1 second, and you can even skip it by quickly double-clicking the button.

Despite all of this, however, I still have yet to actually beat brain 6/7 (the first of today's)
