Hi Lori, This is definitely more of an engineer's game - if you don't think in that mindset, its probably going to be tough. I was able to get about a third of the way through by just tracing exactly what happens when the arm moves (essentially the thought process used when programming). Pay close attention to the descriptions of each track, and be very patient. I'll guide you through level one below.
As the game says, this is pretty simple - you just need to turn the arm at the right moment. I don't remember the exact coordinates, so let's say that the arm starts at A1, and the rat is at c3. Since the arm is facing east, if you start it now, it will move to c1, attempt to go east, and hit a wall. The wall will reverse it, so the arm will go back to a1, and then hit another wall. It'll repeat this until it runs out of power. So, to get the rat, you need to turn the arm so that it begins moving south when it gets to c1. The track you want for this is the south west turn. This means that if the arm hits the turn from the west it will go south, or if it hits from the south, it will go west. Place your track, and review the arm's path again: when it starts, the arm will move east to c1. It will then hit the track from the west, which means it'll turn south. This puts it on a direct course for the rat at c3, which wins you the level. Hope this helps, John -------------------------------------------------- From: "lori duncan" <lori.dunca...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2017 4:32 To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] preludeamals (way too much fun) Well I've tried this game and it's totally confused me. I'm not sure what to place where, and when I hit space to move the arm it said energy failer. Not sure how to make it make sense to me. :) From Lori.
