Isoball 3

I think there's an error in level 16. I get two bridges, two shallow ramps, and one steep ramp. There aren't enough pieces to get the ball to the hole, even if you didn't have to stack the ramps on anything.

Level 16. It's true that I can be a bit dim, but this seems impossible. Where's my rectangular blocks?

Or are there? I'm stuck on 21, myself.

Any help on 17?

The key thing to notice about level 16 is that

After finally(!) realizing that, Pyriel's hint made perfect sense.

Stuck on level 7.. help

Pyriel, for 21:

Stuck on level 7.. help

NM got it

Geek, you can place the arrow on top of the block. that should help.

Stuck on level 19.. help

Anyone else completed level 20 with 4 pieces remaining?

I need help with level 17. There's a gap. HELP!!

Call me visually challenged, but I had serious difficulty with the depth /3D perception - which is probably the whole point of this game.

how do you skip a space?

On level 28, when I roll the ball down a 5 block-high ramp, it breaks when it hits the bottom. That makes no sense, it's a perfectly smooth ramp! And this breaks what seems to be the only possible solution. Is this a bug, or what? And if it isn't, how on earth do you solve level 28?

@Ryunosuke

After the game pre-loads and I hit Play, I see all the layers of the menu at once. I can't read any of the text to figure out how to start playing.

Super...I've been waiting a long time for this game...the previous two games were some mind benders.

Great game. First of the series I've played. I really enjoy it. My one qualm is that there are some levels without a unique solution, or can be solved with fewer pieces. Even in the later levels this is sometimes true. 51 can be solved with one less piece.

I'm having the same problem as tim, even thought it was fine the first time I played it ~_~

For level 17 :

@Syntax and Level 20 Walkthrough

That's frustrating: I lost all my progress from yesterday for some reason. I was somewhere in the 50s, too. Ah, well.

@nfields, I don't really mind the lack of unique solution. Many of the levels are still an interesting challenge.

@Hahaha000000
Yeah, but I had 4 pieces left over :)

@marcmagus
Ouch! Same has happened to me :(

My apologies for the loss of progress. We had to move all our hosted games to a new server, and we've been doing it over the last couple of days.

Good news is that we shouldn't ever have to move them again, as they're now stored on a global content delivery network, so loading should be much more speedy and more reliable.

Thanks, Jay! That worked perfectly.

Would you consider a standalone post announcing the hosting change (so people are less likely to be surprised by lost game data) and mentioning something like the spoiler text?

[Good idea. I just posted an entry about it. Cheers! -Jay]

16 was rough... I couldn't see the gap, either, and so it looked like the ball was not in the same row as the hole, which would be impossible, with no turning arrows. Thanks for the hints, everyone!

I struggled with 17 for the same reason -- with squares missing, the isometric layout is really really hard to navigate. 19 too; I had what looked like a great solution but my ball fell off my ramp somewhere I couldn't even tell there was a gap.

It'd be nice if the empty squares' lines still showed up in the layout. Maybe the isometrics are supposed to be part of the challenge, but... I feel that the implementation of the gaps interferes with the puzzles.

I had a bit of a problem with the mechanics of the ball - inertia felt inconsistent (ie. how long the ball would roll and what it could tackle before slowing down); also, if the ball will shatter by dropping even half a block down, the slopes & 90deg turns in half of the solution paths should also probably break it to bits.

Cheers Jay, that worked a treat. So frustrating not being able to redo levels I could do last night :)

Has anybody tackled level 52?
No matter what I do, I seem to be exactly one half-block short.

help! in level 32 please

I just realised, there was an in-game link to an official walkthrough of EVERY level, provided by CandyFlame, go to the main menu and select an obvious button.

Any help for level 34?

someone in lvl 43??

stuck on level 73.. someone to help me please...

does anyone know how to beat level 7 it just doesnt seem to have the right pieces

im stuck on level 22!!!!!!!

I'm stuck at level 55.

Im stuck on lvel 34. help!!!!!!!!!!!

in level 55 you must build the pieces except one square then erase 5 of pieces after ball passes then build the 5 pieces again other holes quickly it is very hard

No need to erase on 55.

On left wall build a "T" with 3 and 1/2 cubes, a tread and two bridges on either side.

On right wall use small ramp for ball, 4 elevators, down ramp to three stacked cubes.

hey Phil,

Thanks for the solution of 55. It was very good. I passed 55 with 5 erasing pieces, one bridge,one arrow, 2 elevators and a high ramp.
I erased them quickly after ball passes, then build another places again. But your solution is the right solution.
I am in now level 75. If you reach 75 and find the solution, write here.

Hi Semih,

I'm also on 75 but haven't figured it out yet.
73 took me forever and I had to use erase-and-build on that one. I also had a few leftover pieces on some levels. I guess there are several solutions to some levels.

I dont know what I'm going to do when I finish this very addicting game..lol.

Hi Phil,

You are right. There are several solutions to some levels but i am stuck on level 75. I didnt find the solution. There is not enough bridges.
In the right wall there are 3 holes. 2 of them exits to the space. We cant reach the 2 holes without bridges. I try to use energy bridges but there isnt a place to put energy bridges.

In my opinion, the ball firstly enter the left wall hole, then it exits from right wall right top hole, then it returns and enter the below of the right top hole, finally it sxits from left top hole to the target. I build it using all pieces except two elevators, but there isnt enough bridges to tie the left top hole and the target.

Dou you find the solution or dou you have a good plan for this hard level?

Just finished all 75 levels -- only took me ten days. I kind of liked the erase-and-build levels in Isoball 2, so long as it didn't turn into a twitchy platformer.

Only peculiarity here is that I once ended up with one more energy bridge than I stared out with after some furious erasing. Fearing a crash, I cleared and started over though.

About level 75:

Please help: i'm on level 28. Does anyone know how to do it? :(

level 52 please!!

how do i get pass lvl 23????

hello all :)
stuck in level 73
anyone knows how to go on..pleeeease :)

EVERYONE LISTEN UP!!!!!! Here is the answer to Level 7:

Just under where the ball is, place a big cube and one of the big ramps facing straight. place another large cube after thet and put the arrow on top of it going towards the hole. Then place the other ramp after that cube.

I hope this helps!!!!

I just finished all 75 levels without erasing and rebuild. There is an elegant solution to every level.
