never heard of it. Is it a web based game or is it on a hacked iphone? Most games I have played are stupid and feel are just a waste of battery

My phone is jailbroken.

I do not have any games on my iPhone. It's not my thing.
iPhysics is kind of cool and has a ton of packages for it, and seems to use the accelerometer in an interesting way.

It has no instructions that I can find.

Check it out.
It is cool.

I went on youtube and did a search I found a video looks fun

[dichertz]

I did a search here and found a minor explanation for (I guess) the first level.

We shall see...

[dichertz]

THAT'S IT?
It took about 2 minutes to complete.

Wow.

[IphoneTony]

Is this what you have

[dichertz]

No that is obviously an older version, but it is the same "game".

And that person didn't know how to play the game either, there IS a point to it.

Stupid, but there is a point.

It's far from stupid--just the opposite. Not sure why you are having trouble since the app's description explains it is like Crayon Physics. Google it and perhaps you'll have a better understanding of what's going on in iPhysics.

I actually think this game is a brilliant application. Once you get an understanding of what you are to do it really can be fun and also excrutiatingly frustrating (but in a fun way).

Once you have iPhysics installed, you need to start getting level packs available in installer in the iPhysics folder.
I install 2-3 at a time and play them all till I can solve them fairly easily, then uninstall them and get some new ones. There are a TON of levels out there. some are easier than others, but all of them are fun to play. I even got my wife addicted to them. hehehe slowly bringing her around to getting an iPhone...

This is my all-time favorite app for iPhone. Truly unique game. The easy levels are easy. But not all levels are easy :smile:

[mittenman]

What source is this in?? Used to have it, but deleted it for some reason.

[sindhikid93]

the new iPhysics game is what my bro has on his touch. I cant seem to find it for my iphone however.

it basically is that you have to draw lines and get the ball to move along those lines, and land on the red square.

can you tell me where u downloaded it from?

[Lincoln]

You can download several packs for it - each different from one another, ranging in difficulty.

this game is a life saver.. very unique and a game that involves thought! i play it all the time during my ap environmental class. love all the different level packs, JungZandvliet and Rawd's Multimap are my 2 favs

[Rockky]

So, if i could be so bold:what are the strategies you employ to get the ball to the square?!

[Hawk]

Depends entirely on the game, but my general strategy is to block the sides so the ball cannot go off screen, and also to make paths and ramps to get where I need to be.

[Rockky]

and then ibe moves the ball by dropping an object on the bal?... as far as I see.
Sorry, but it doesn't come with a game tutorial that I could find.
thanks

[Hawk]

You can drop an object, drag an object, there are several ways- depending on how the level is written. Some levels don't allow dragging. Some don't allow points.
I know you are wondering about points, so here's an explaination:
Points appear when you tap the screen once. You will see a little white circle appear. either draw an object over the point, or a line through the point and it is anchored there, but can spin- depending on how it's setup. 2 points on either side of a rectangle will anchor it in place, but only one will allow it to spin.
Play with it in the sandbox to get used to it.

[Rockky]

Thank You...very helpful!

[Velodog2]

That is part of the zen-like beauty of the game. It's totally minimalistic. It's like here it is, you play and experiment and figure out what you can do.

cool, thanks!

There is an update available for iphysics. Version 1.0 is out! You have to check out ipinball. It's just like a real pinball machine complete with sound, flippers and fluid motion we've come to enjoy on the iphone!

I just wish they would change the solid lines to crayon. :(
