Electric Box 2
Way back in the long-forgotten year of 2009, we reviewed a tile-based puzzle game called Electric Box. Since then, the game has maintained a steady following, with user levels constantly being added. Today, the people at Twinkle Star Games have released Electric Box 2, a supercharged sequel that's sure to make people forget all about the original.

Yay!! I loved the original. I'm so glad they made another one :)
Wow, what a awesome week on JiG! First a Grow game, then a Robot Wants ___, now a Electric Box 2? What next?
you forgot the dismantlement (which was too easy in my opinion) this game is quite awesome though
Ah! stuck on 26 :( I'm probably missing something obvious though
Nevermind, thanks to the power of posting.
@ Ruka
Hope there is something else :-P
gah! stuck on level 12.
I am also stuck on 26.
I love this week, lots of new awesome stuff.
All i need now is a newer powder game
Ah! Now I'm stuck on 31! Some of these seem impossible unless you flip like, 2 pieces around.
and of course, power of posting, I get it right away after I post.
Solution for 26:
Food:E2
Push Bot: E7 - facing left
Rotating Tool: F4
Fan: I6 - facing right
Steam Detector: C9
Electric Heater: H10
Kettle 1: D5
Kettle 2: G10 - facing left
Power Generator 1: I5
Power Generator 2: I10
Hamster: facing left
for 31
wind chime at 8A
sound bot at 8B
pull bot at 8C
hamster at 11L
light bulb at 9D
I need help with level 14!
http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=2ae51c12-9035-4e9f-aa57-a7483bdd3e05
be quick
p.s. possible review: "electric box is back and it has hamsters!
currently at 33, will post walkthrough when done, but please feel free to do so if you want
Level 28 has me completely stumped.
I've placed the light bulb at F1, one solar panel at F12 and the other at H1. I've placed the fan at H2 facing right, the generator at H9 and the carrier bot at G9 facing left. I've placed my spring at F11. The cannon is facing left. Given the circumstances I don't see how any of the above parts can be any other way, and I have no clue where to place the ball dropper.
When the machine starts, the light bulb powers the solar panel on the left, making the fan power the generator, which starts the carrier bot, which totes the cannon to the left. When the cannon passes F7, the circuit causes it to fire; the shot bounces off the fixed spring, then the movable spring, then takes out the light bulb. If I omit the movable spring it takes out the solar panel on the right instead. Either way the circuit is then doomed because there's no way to power the target's circuit.
The only place left that I can put the ball dropper where it'll receive power is on the main circuit, which makes it activate immediately and prevents it from taking out anything useful.
Can someone give me a hint, please? Not an outright solution, just a hint. Please?
Sonic:
You did the exact same thing I did.
The movable spring bounces the carrier bot, not the cannon shot.
for 14
fan at F2
generator at F9
push bot at D9
solar panel at D11
I think melak's hint would be enough for 28, but here's another:
Don't put the solar panel by the target to start out.
level 28
hints:
the cannon can destroy the spring and the bomb will be reflected
the carrier will never stop moving
you can move the solar panels
sorry if these aren't very good
outright solution
carrier bot G9
generator H9
ball dropper E3
lightbulb F1
solar panel H1 and F4
spring at G2
fan at H2
Metak - Thanks, I was stuck there too.
Simple once you know how 8-)...
Thanks, everyone. Passed it now.
Not once did it occur me to put a solar panel to the left of the fixed spring, then use the same carrier bot to take it to the target!
holy barbosa level 35
big spoiler
magic orb lets you move and flip objects WHILE IT'S ON i kid you not
Anyone have a few hints for 36? It's leaving me stumped right now.

thank you repairman, it didn't occur to me to
delay the firing of the cannon.
Help with 20 please:)
it's repairmanman
....ooops, sorry about that, thank you repairmanman.
level 40 solution
don't think i'll do the walkthrough
too lazy, but give credit if you used mine
Stuck on level 30
I've got fans at I2 F3 and B6, batteries at H2 and E3, steam detectors at H3 and E4, and the hamster at C10. So I can get the steam to the windchimes and activate the hamster.
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to use what I've got left to get the steam to B2.
It's half midnight my time. Maybe it'll make sense in the morning...
Was anyone able to do 37 without using one of the solar panels?
level 30
i think by the end you could just compile all my posts for a walkthrough
Now it's Level 38 that's driving me bananas.
I think I've got the solution, I just can't carry it out. Initially, I've got the teleporter-sender at D11, the teleporter-receiver at F9, the hamster at E2 facing left, the laser device at L11 facing left, and the movable laser feeder at L3. I also have the two drills facing one another and the two cannons facing rightwards.
The plan is as follows: once the teleporters send the heater to E9 to fire that cannon, I move the receiver to H9, then the sender to F9, to send the heater to G9 and fire the other cannon. I then move the sender to K2 and the receiver back to F9 so they can send the push-bot to row E, which will let it push the ball-dropper to E3 and clear the rest of the laser's path to B1.
Problem is, I'm simply not fast enough to pull that off. If my reflexes were any good I wouldn't be playing a puzzle game in the first place. I barely have time to move the teleporters once each before the magic orb is taken out, and moving them twice each in the same brief timespan is almost certainly impossible. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing something.
Any help? Please?
how about this?
place the laser receiver at L3 to destroy the drills when they run into each other
and a sender at K2 to move the push bot to E9 (receiver at F9) which will push the dropper and get rid of the laser receiver, this is the solution
Okay, for level 38, I think I hit a bug:
I checked a video walkthrough to see what I needed to do because I was totally lost, and in the video, the person playing has a pusher where I have a hamster, and my pusher is pre-placed. I can't find any way around it because it makes one object immovable and I can't complete the level.
i forgot
to buy more time simply turn the push bot around once the drill is out of the way
and don't forget the laser at L11
not a bug, mine is like that too. level was probably too easy that way
WHAT DO YOU MEAN VIDEO WALKTHROUGH
Thanks for trying, repairmanman, but that's exactly what I was doing.
Any hints on level 20? The Happy Birthday level?
i dealt with that in my second post(seeing as i forgot it)
@repairmanman
The only problem is that you would no longer be able to remove the laser receiver and it blocks the laser from reaching the goal.
Aaack! I got it now! Thanks anyway, repairmanman.
I didn't realize you could buy more time by simply keeping the push-bot turned the wrong way until the teleporter nonsense was done with. I'm still trying to figure out how I was ever supposed to have thought of that.
I was just about to let you know. The only thing I don't get is why you originally had trouble with that. For me, the bot started facing the wrong way.
Well obviously not EVERYONE because that person had it the way I described it with the
already placed hamster and the pusher in the inventory
and the video walkthrough was for this level only. I was able to work my way through everything up until this.
Nevermind. Got it. So simple I feel like an idiot.
level 39
level 20
@waggles
that's what the ball dropper is for
got it now! ty! sorry for doubting you
@Fishy: Started that way for me, too. I just switched it back to face the right way and forgot about it. Then I later quit and restarted the level, and saw it...
Can I get some help on 33?
i can't get past level 21 please help
Hmm... managed level 33 with 3 pieces remaining (wall + 2 jellyfish) :)
I don't like how their movements are not guaranteed to follow the same path depending on other placements though :(
Other than that, great game!
@someone
pretty cool level
level 21
push bot D4
sender E4
receiver I9
what is with all these double posts?
these are not intentional
@repairmanman thanks for the help on 21 can you help with 23? thanks again
level 23
use the hint
if thats not enough
sender at D3
receiver at D9
cannon at C11
Level 28 was evil, but it was worth it.
Hey, how did you complete 33? I'm a little stuck with it.
And especially how did you do it in -3 pieces?
Level 30 can be completed using only six items.
Battery at E3.
Pullbot at E4.
Cannon at F10.
Steam detector at F3.
Fan at G10.
Brick at E12.
for -3 ask someone else
jellyfish at D8 E8 F8 and H9
block at L5 A6 B6 C6 A12 and I11
I found a solution for level 30 that leaves you with seven pieces left over...
you should report that, you're supposed to only be able to do it with all of them
Yeah, I saw that it asked you to let them know if you found a solution that didn't use all the parts, but I can't find any contact info to send it to.
Further short-cuts on Level 37.
I save:
The fan and one solar panel.
Hints:
You can flip the cannon that's already on the board.
With this, you can make the heater in the top-left superfluous.
My Solution:
Place the following:
Teleport(Sender) at C5.
Solar Panel at A10.
Carrier Bot at B7, facing to the left.
Cannon at B10, facing to the left.
Push Bot at G9, facing to the left.
Flip the pre-placed:
Cannon at G7 faces to the right.

Alright... so anyone working on a full walkthrough?

WIN!
i already did one, it starts with this "also wireless current sender and receiver are WCS and WCR respectively
if i use S or R it means sender or receiver
i will do magic orb levels later"
level 35 and 38 were seperate
lvl 36, you mean G4, not G5.
G5, try it yourself.
my way works if you do everything as is written.
Actually, your entire lvl 36 solution is flawed... and you appear to be missing a lvl 38 solution.
Well i'm gonna go to sleep.
gnight.
it seems i have forgotten smoke detector at D3
looks like i'll have to look over them all
you know what, i'm tired, someone else look over it
here is my level, enjoy the show
(there are three ending,
just watch it and then stop it,
finally, enjoy the third ending)
rate 5* plz!
http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=dc0e6023-2f37-48ee-a150-0bd4d27ba711
Thanks for getting us this far, repairmanman.
If anyone wants to post corrections to the walkthrough, I'll modify the walkthrough and give you credit. :)
can you add 35 and 38, i already did them, and i posted them
it seems i also forgot to specify the directions of certain objects
I don't like these graphics, I like the original
your level 26 is wrong; the 2nd kettle needs the heater
An addendum to lvl 37. Neither the shortcut or the full on (which still left out one item) worked for me.
This is my solution.
Cannon: B2 facing right
Fan: D5 facing left
Carrier: B7 facing left
Solar Panel: B4
Solar Panel: A10
Teleporter: C5
Push Bot: G5 facing right
Don't change the direction of the cannon.
hello, here comes my second level
this one is a very complex auto level
feature: multi-teleport, wireless selection
enjoy~
http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=bf7d8209-2c12-4b46-a54e-5a5c08ef3d65
Uhm, could somebody explain why level 16 works the way it's explained in the walkthrough?
How is the lightbulb on if it has no power source?
Lvl 36 alternative solution
K1 - Heater
K2 - Receiver(TP)
I3 - IPS Battery
C3 - Steam Detector
D4 - Music station
E4 - Sender(TP)
J8 - Hamster
K8 - Cannon
8/11 pieces used
Nevermind, the walkthrough is wrong, its supposed to be heater at b7 not c7 for that one.
@darkid: Thanks for the contact details. Wasn't sure where to find them.
I've emailed them the level 33 (-3 object) solution
Cheers
Here's a level of mine...
http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=ca1dccde-d5a9-4225-9aa4-38fee1c9e526
Help! I can't figure out level 24 even if I copy the walkthrough......
@darkid: I enjoyed your level, darkid. I'm not usually good at sandboxes, but I found a way. For those curious, here's my solution, with no more than one of each item:
Solar panel at J7
Kettle at D7 (direction doesn't matter)
Power generator at E7
Music bot at D6
Wind chimes at D5
Charger flashlight at E6, facing right
Heli bot at F3
Charger fan at G3, facing right
Laser feeder at H3
WCS at E8
WCR at F11
Laser device at H11, facing left
The kettle pours water on the generator, powering the charger light and the WCS. The WCS sends current to the WCR, which powers the laser device, which fires at the laser feeder. The laser feeder powers the charger fan and the heli bot; the heli bot lifts the charger fan, cutting its power and making it start in the process, until it's level with the wind chimes. The charger fan makes the wind chimes ring, activating the music bot and making it push the charger flashlight downwards, cutting its power and making it light in the process. When it stops, it powers the solar panel and thus the target. Viola!
Correction to walkthrough level 32:
everything on the screenshot is good except the mirror on D6 should be on C6; mirrors on K6 and D9 should be flipped from what is in the screenshot.
I can't figure out level 16 at all, even with the walkthrough and Charlatan's correction...if I have them all in those places then the ball dropper just hits the solar panel and carrier and knocks them both off the level :S
Ahhhhhhh I just got it. It really should say in the walkthrough that for level 16 you need to
flip the carrier so that is facing left. It will drive to underneath the flipper, the flipper will flip the carrier around so it is moving the other way, and it will pick up the solar panel and move it across after the ball has dropped.
Using the editor makes you appreciate how hard it is to create a level that is neither too obvious, too abstract or susceptible to shortcuts. I hope mine at least achieves the latter.
http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=02082070-9c78-4c86-a506-d4b1d3a50cfe
SonicLover, there is a *much* faster solution, involving 7 pieces. I challenge you to find it!
Ah... it looks like CANDYSTAND went down... wow.
Maybe just from traffic, or they're updating the game.
Stuck on level 31 on the electric box 2.5. I'm playing it on my phone and it Only goes to J and 10. help please!
Correction: B2 Cannon (face right)
Is it me, or are all the new levels getting vote-spammed down? Each new level gets 16 or 18 votes in the first few hours, and they always get rated straight 1s afterwards.
In the meantime... after two years, I've made another one: http://www.candystand.com/play/electric-box-2#?key=f2ae2446-08b9-48af-b756-6c7a8532b9de
