It's been a while since we last saw Gam.eBBjp's beloved point-and-click puzzle Dismantlement games, and since then, they seem to have taken one thing to heart... go big, or go home. Like, really, really big. In Dismantlement: Earth, you are literally taking apart the world like some passive-aggressive Galactus, but with a noble goal... to disarm the bombs inside! To play, just click to interact, using the small arrows at the top, bottom, and sides of the planet to move around, and the button in the upper-right corner to back out of something you've zoomed in on. You'll quickly discover that the game is largely all about cracking codes, as you open various panels with strange puzzle locks inside them, and I hope you're not expecting too much help from the game, since it takes a decided "sink or swim" approach and demands you to figure things out on your own. For most players, this is exactly what they've come to expect and love about Dismantlement games, and Dismantlement: Earth is great at appearing to be completely mystifying, but often holding solutions that don't need to be overthought... even if you wind up doing so anyway. Most of the solutions you'll need to unravel come down to perspective in a clever way, though two will need you to look somewhere for inspiration that you may not immediately think of, and the finale comes with a ticking clock. Dismantlement: Earth is a solid chunk of gameplay, though not as whimsical or weird as some other entries in the series, and puzzle fans will be happy to crack open each and every layer it provides.

Nice.
I feel like doing a Walkthrough:
Note regarding the flags: nowhere in this game they need to be related to the nations they otherwise represent. So there is no geopolitical knowledge required to solve it.
Layer 1:
North:
Correct are the L shaped figures where the white box of the L shape is opposite to the black box in the guide.
Easth:
Here you have to think the image from the first row above the flag images in the second row. Then the dominant color makes a letter.
HTZO
South:
This is just negatives with a box a bit bigger than the images given.
FLCE
West:
You just match the color of the flags.
Denmark, Algeria, Scottland, France
Center:
You need North, East, South and West of Layer 1 solved first.
Just flip the imagines in your mind along the line. Z has the diagonal line in the wrong direction, ignore that.
North: N
East: H
South: "Z"
West: M
Layer 2:
North:
You need West and East solved first.
Follow the blue lines, they connect to what can also represent a letter.
SLEO
East:
The color above the number box represents the color you should pay attention to on the cover, up or down box the area to pay attention to.
3407
South:
This is related to the satellite.
Just take for the black boxes the corresponding boxes in the satellite, they form a letter.
OCLU
West:
The numbers are simply written on the top. They just touch each other.
2525
Final:
The values are the amount of gray in the corresponding boxes in the satellite.
It is all 50.
I enjoyed the puzzles, and it was nice that you never needed outside knowledge to solve. Solved it in fifteen minutes, which included looking up the flags before realizing that wasn't necessary.
I miss the early dismantlement games where the pieces overlapped. It would have been nice if there were more pieces to disassemble, and some parts where you just got to hunt for screws.

There's new dismantlement out, lunch box 3. Could you review it? I could write a walkthrough, if you want.
