Object: Roll the Ball into the Hole. Noscope is based on the Zillions game 'Rotoscope'. Telescopes extend and contract when clicked. Differently coloured telescopes will extend to different lengths. Telescopes marked by a silver button can be rotated by clicking the handle. A connected Ball will be rotated/pushed/pulled with it. In this Noscope game there is one Telescope missing on the board. its positions is indicated by a dummy Telescope carrying a question mark. Select the missing Telescope from the right border. (The selection list may be different for different variants). You can rotate it inside the selection list before you place it. These moves will not count for your solution. Then click the position with the question mark to place the missing telescope. Now try to move the Ball into the Hole. For beginners: You win when the Ball rolls into the Hole. For experts: You win when the Ball rolls into the Hole in the prescribed number of moves. The expert solution is the one you should aim for. The (minimum) number of moves you should aim for is displayed at the top right corner. Your move count will be displayed beneath it. In some variants you may be able to place several telescopes which can solve the problem in the prescribed number of moves. In this case: - Try to solve the variant with a fixed telescope, if possible. - If different types (=lenghts) of telescopes solve the puzzle, find the one which the shortest extension! All solutions are included. Also included are two freeplay variants where you can create your own Noscope - challenges. More freeware as well as real games at puzzles at http://karl.kiwi.gen.nz. |
