LaserworxArtbegotti[An Upfront Warning: This will not be a problem for everyone, but the auto-save in Laserworx did not work consistently for some JIG staff, so closing the game and coming back to it meant they had to start over again. Try refreshing the browser page after a couple of levels to make sure your game is being saved.]

Laserworx is an enlightening puzzler by Liszkay (Treasure in the Dark) where your goal is to light up all the lasercells on a grid. One hundred beaming levels await you, hoping to trip you up with a plethora of tricks and twists.

Scattered about the floor are several laserspots, which can often be moved around by dragging them with the mouse. Between certain pairs of laserspots, you'll find, naturally, laserbeams. These laserbeams always form a straight line connection between laserspots, even when placed on the grid in different rows or columns. (In other words, diagonals are very much allowed.) When a laserbeam passes through a lasercell, even by the tiniest corner, the lasercell will switch on (or off). Light up all the lasercells, and you'll be on your way to the next level.

But (literally) blocking your way are the dreaded laserwalls, which— Sorry, they're just plain walls, I guess not everything has the word "laser" tacked onto it. Blocking your way are walls, which render any laserbeam that passes through them useless. Also, you have to deal with your own laserspots, which can only move across unoccupied floor tiles, and that's even assuming you're allowed to move them. You'll eventually have to juggle moving around almost every element of the game, including the lasercells, the walls, and even the floor tiles.

Each level has an unlimited amount of time to work with. Instead, your score for a level is determined by how few "moves" you make in order to get to a solution. Each time you drag any object one square, a "move" is deducted. There is no way to undo moves (except by restarting a level), so be sure to plan ahead for a high score.

Analysis: One of the many positive notes about Laserworx is that across its 100 levels, the idea of moving things around to connect objects in lines doesn't tire quickly. In fact, the levels are set up to give you a variety of challenges in order. One level, you might be moving the laserspots, the next might have you moving the lasercells and the walls, the following level might have you moving laserspots that control the movement of other laserspots. All the while, you've got to pay attention to which lasercells are already lit and don't need a laserbeam passing through them.

This game's interface is nicely set up, with switches and sliders that make you feel like you're at the control panel of some higher establishment for intergalactic laser manipulation (hereafter referred to as SHE-FILM).

As a final tip, keep in mind that you have the ability to move objects across the board into a lot of configurations, but even though the level might be symmetric in nature, your solution does not need to be. One of the hardest habits to break your mind free from is the urge to make the left side look the same as the right, or have the whole thing be diametrically symmetrical (looks the same when turned 180 degrees, like most crossword puzzles). Often times, the easiest solutions look like a box of red toothpicks dropped on the floor. If you can let go of any perfectionist tendancies you might have, you'll learn to appreciate a line for the fact that it's a line, no matter how slanted.

Perhaps the saving issue is browser-related? I played a few levels in Google Chrome, closed down all instances of Chrome, then re-opened, and my game was saved, so it seems to keep games fine in Chrome.

Great game! Only a few levels in, and a seemingly-easy puzzle has me stumped. This will obviously get ugly. :-D

My only gripe: When you end a level, there are several seconds of score-tallying followed by a loud radio-static buzz. The radio-static noise is louder than any other component of the game, and is consistently irritating. I wish I could keep the sound effects but nix that.

Actually, I'm having a real problem with puzzle 22. I'm not spoilering this, since I think it's a bug, not a problem-solving problem:

The lasers are all fixed, and some of the blocks to be lit are fixed, while others are movable. My movable blocks can light up, but none of the non-movable blocks light up, even when they're obviously within the parameters of lightable--that is, they're clearly intersected by a working, non-blocked laser. In fact, all eight non-movable blocks start like this, and should be lit, but aren't.

Am I missing a gameplay element, or is this a bug?

So I have to go through this all in one go? Darn.

I never had a problem with the auto-save. I think it's a rare issue. It just might be worth reloading the game after a couple of levels to see if your progress is being saved.

Fun puzzle game, but I will say the scoring system is dumb. The number of moves you take has little to do with how well you figure out the puzzle, and more to do with how patient you are at painstakingly dragging around the lasers. I would much rather it let me place the laser anywhere, without having to go around walls and such, since the piece never really kept up with my mouse.

Ah, I see, some levels have islands... interesting.

Seriously JayIsGames users? This excellent and relatively unique puzzle game gets 3 out 5 stars, and every game that's a rehash of the tired old escape-the-room and tower defense genres gets 5 stars?

I swear I don't know you people anymore.

Anyway, anyone figure level 35 yet? I'm stumped.

ninti - It seems to me there are people who rank games based on the screenshot and whether that makes them want to play the game.

I'm stuck on level 9. The movable walls are really limited and I can't seem to be able to fully move them out of the way.

Being at level 59 i have to admit that an 'undo' button would be quite helpful sometimes...

Help with level 17 please? I have "lit" the outer ones but can't move the four inner ones? (not sure of the black squares with arrows on that won't move have any relevance?). Thanks

Reply

on level 17 you have to block the beams with something you can move (try the black blocks) ;)

omgitsgir June 24, 2009 12:11 PM

Is level 20 even possible?

Here's my take: (spoilered to save space):

Because of the way the lasers are linked, two of the lasers will always pass through the center of the grid. Since neither of the endpoints can fall ON a gridline (only between them), there will always be a laser beam travelling through the squares near the center of the grid. However, these squares turn OFF when a laser passes through them. As far as I can tell, there is no way to avoid the situation, so the puzzle cannot be solved.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

omgitsgir June 24, 2009 12:39 PM

Nevermind, I didn't realize the level wasn't quite symmetrical ;)

If you move one of the laser spots and the connected ones can't move, then they don't. You can use this to "push" the configuration around.

Hmmm, level 43 is proving to be difficult.

Reply

ricainrino: i suffered a lot to redo the correct solution, but there is a screenshot under the second spoiler tag :)
BUT, if you still want to try with only hints, then check the first one :)

yes, you can place the lasercells and blocks simmetrically (you will see on the screenshot that i was lazy to finish it that way)

Hello, I am on level 75 and I have been on it for hours. I can't figure this one out. I have looked at the spoiler but still can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone know how to arrange the movable grey squares to get the laser pod things adjacent to the two squares? I'd be grateful for any tips. Thanks

Reply

I feel pretty stupid.I just spent about two hours trying to turn off all the lit blocks on level 5. wonderful. the best part is that i got through the levels beforehand, so I must have known to light the unlit ones.

75 is giving me fits as well

Kelly, JPT: Somehow I could recall the solution for lvl 75 :)

First, you have to switch the two cells at the left OR the two at the right. Don't switch both sides!

Let's see the switch at the left.
- Move the downmost horizontally moveable panel to the right of the cell in bottom line (c1) and move c1 onto it
- Now move the leftmost vertically moveable panel downwards (3 steps) and the second horizontally moveable to the left (1 step)
- Then you have to get a vertically moveable out of the way of the horizontally moveable panel in the 5th line from the bottom. Place the horizontally moveable ones to the left so you can move the upper cell (c2) next to the other.
- Now move the horizontally moveable above c2 to the right (1 step) and put the vertically moveable to its previous place (you have a 2x2 square with two cells at the bottom, right?). Switch them :) The laserbeams now shouldn't cross each other

Moving c1 to the top:
- Go up with c1 to the original place of c2, then onto the closest upper right unmoveable panel. Then to the one which is at the right close to the bottom. Then down again, to the right. And then up. It's the trickiest - and the hardest to tell. But if you manage to reach the unmoveable in the 2nd line (column 5) you are almost there :) Good luck!

I am stuck on level 91. Laserspot order seems to be significant here. i.e. when multiple laserspots are being moved simultaneously, they will each attempt to move in a predetermined order. If one tries to move and another is blocking its way, it will not move, even if the other one moves out of the way. But if the one blocking the way moves first, then both will move. I will work on finding a solution, but until then, any solutions you can offer would be appreciated. In return for this, I offer you step-by-step walkthroughs for some of the other levels.
For the sake of brevity, I have abbreviated the instructions. To understand my abbreviations, here is a quick reference:
LS = laser spot
HLC = horizontal movable laser cell
VLC = vertical movable laser cell
HF = horizontal movable floor
VF = vertical movable floor
HW = horizontal movable wall
VW = vertical movable wall
Objects have been numbered in reading order (left to right, top to bottom), so HF1 would be the first horizontal movable floor in reading order, VLC2 would be the 2nd vertical movable laser cell in reading order, etc. Non-movable/white laser spots are not included in this count.
In cases where there is only one movable object in the level, the object to be moved is not specified.
Directions are pretty straight forward, D=down, U=up, L=left, R=right.

Level 90 (591 steps)
The scoring system is a bit weird here. The formula seems to be something like this (where n is the level number and s is the remaining steps, min() is the smallest value, and int() is rounded down to the next integer)
(1+int((n+1)/2))*(int(min(s,s/2+15,s/4+37.5,s/8+63.75,s/16+91.875))).
In other words, the better your solution is, the less you can benefit from finding more improvements.

Since I last posted here, I have cleared the game, gotten the highest score ever, and then surpassed my own high score. I also have taken screen shots of my solutions to every level, which are available upon request.
I am willing to post some of my solutions here, but I'll start by revising the score formula I posted earlier.
I find that getting a high score in any game (Laserworx is no exception) requires a good understanding of how the scoring system works.
The formula is:
p=(1+int((n+1)/2))*(int(((1+(int(log(s/30+1,2))-1)*(2^int(log(s/30+1,2))))*30+s)/(2^int(log(s/30+1,2)))))
Where n is the level number and s is the remaining steps.
Using this formula, the highest score you would get if you could solve every level in a single step (which is impossible, of course) is 351374. My score as of this writing is 336888.
Also, moving vertical anti-lasercells doesn't count, so particularly in levels 60 and 90, you should look for solutions that make use of this unusual behaviour. Also, in levels like level 56, a vertical anti-lasercell can't be the last thing you move.
I would also like to thank OseeAsi (a.k.a. o_see_as_i?) for his screen shots. They were helpful to me in levels 11, 16, 21, 25, 49, 54, 71, 82, 84, 96, and 100.
They were also entertaining sometimes. I had a good laugh when I saw OseeAsi's solution to level 52.
I was not able to see OseeAsi's screen shot for level 73, but it must have been different from my solution because he describes it as being like a Star of David, whereas mine has 2 triangles that don't intersect each other at all. In fact, just to test the idea out, I tried to make a Star of David work in this level, but I just can't.
For those of you who are trying for a high score, simply knowing a certain score is possible may help you to get there. So, for your benefit, and also to prove that my score is legit, the "spoiler" below lists my remaining steps in each level, with a brief note on each level. Enjoy!

Level 1 - 95 steps remaining. 5 steps to solve.
Level 2 - 102. For every step you take, you should be asking yourself, "Is this step really necessary?"
Level 3 - 90. Simple geometry.
Level 4 - 109. Not exactly a "rhombus", as the hint suggests.
Level 5 - 89. Pay attention to the hint.
Level 6 - 40. The only level that leaves you with less than 90 steps remaining at the end.
Level 7 - 124. All the laserspots are movable, but you can't move them past the sky.
Level 8 - 147. Make the lasers look like a bow tie.
Level 9 - 142. Not a typo! Think about this one...
Level 10 - 138. Very straight forward.
Level 11 - 162. 2 crosses is all you need.
Level 12 - 199. There are 2 ways to solve this, one better than the other.
Level 13 - 184. Do you recall Dr. Seuss's story about the Zax?
Level 14 - 190. The laserspots don't get in each other's way.
Level 15 - 172. There are multiple ways to arrange the laserspots to solve this level. I tried them all out to see which was fastest. I used a similar strategy in levels 32, 43, 84, and 100.
Level 16 - 233. If you make a mistake, don't worry. This level has room for error.
Level 17 - 212. Pay attention to the movable floors here.
Level 18 - 233. This level has as much room for error as level 16.
Level 19 - 202. This level has no room for error, so pay attention to which side the movable floor is closer to.
Level 20 - 263. Notice that the single anti-lasercells are not horizontally symmetrical.
Level 21 - 266. Slightly counter-intuitive, but not impossible if you spend enough time thinking about it.
Level 22 - 250. This is not a glitch in the program. You're not supposed to be able to move the laserspots here.
Level 23 - 278. The solution is not symmetrical.
Level 24 - 318. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can figure out how to get 318 here.
Level 25 - 303. You must give in order to get.
Level 26 - 262. Choose carefully which laserspots go up and which ones go down.
Level 27 - 288. Don't try to optimize levels 30, 45, 58, 63, 69, 75, or 88 until you've optimized this level.
Level 28 - 358. 2 laserspots don't move and 4 move only 1 space.
Level 29 - 350. You only need to move 2 of the laserspots.
Level 30 - 269. Try to get fancy here. Just because a solution is simpler doesn't mean it's faster.
Level 31 - 376. There are 2 ways to solve this, both equally good.
Level 32 - 366. No need to move walls here.
Level 33 - 124. The second most time consuming level, with little room for error.
Level 34 - 318. Ditto level 32.
Level 35 - 346. A lot of movable parts, yet quite easy to figure out.
Level 36 - 428. Well, if you've seen OseeAsi's screen shot, I guess you don't need further hints from me here.
Level 37 - 448. Only some of the walls need to be moved.
Level 38 - 434. The 434 should be hint enough.
Level 39 - 376. Make sure the laserspots don't get in each other's way.
Level 40 - 338. You already know where to put the laserspots and lasercells. The trick is to find the best place for the walls.
Level 41 - 432. It should be obvious which solution is best here.
Level 42 - 400. You have some room for error here, so if you don't see the 400 solution right away, it's okay.
Level 43 - 464. In each section, you must move at least one laserspot a long distance.
Level 44 - 448. You wouldn't wait for the light to turn red before crossing the street, would you?
Level 45 - 446. Each side can be solved independently.
Level 46 - 320. A lot of work, but a simple solution.
Level 47 - 519. A triple knot!
Level 48 - 428. Not all movable floors are needed on both sides.
Level 49 - 501. There are so many variables here, it's hard to find the best solution.
Level 50 - 498. The way the lasercells are arranged is deceptive.
Level 51 - 564. Looks can be deceiving here too. Is the level REALLY symmetrical?
Level 52 - 526. Not as much work as you'd think.
Level 53 - 524. It's a remote control race car!
Level 54 - 568. Remember that trick you learned in level 35?
Level 55 - 610. They travel together, but they can't decide on a leader!
Level 56 - 625. Move the anti-lasercells first and then move the laserspots.
Level 57 - 614. Remember the trick you learned in level 50?
Level 58 - 503. Took me a while to optimize this one. You can save steps if things don't have to move out of the way so much.
Level 59 - 636. Looks like a square dance gone wrong.
Level 60 - 601. Remember, you don't get penalized for moving vertical anti-lasercells.
Level 61 - 660. Marionettes!
Level 62 - 664. 2 of the laserspots don't have to be moved, and 3 of them only have to be moved once.
Level 63 - 613. You can save time if the laserspots travel together.
Level 64 - 698. There are 4 ways to solve this, one better than the others.
Level 65 - 177. Only 5 of the laserspots need to be moved.
Level 66 - 732. A curiosity of game logic that I never understood. The level can only be solved if the right laserspot is 3 tiles below the left one.
Level 67 - 678. The laserspots obviously have to pass each other. How can you do this without annoying one of them too much?
Level 68 - 736. You can't form a perfect diamond, but you can get close enough.
Level 69 - 693. Remember the trick you learned in level 58? Now do the same trick sideways.
Level 70 - 757. For this level, you must understand that when you move a laserspot that controls other laserspots, the one you move moves first, but the others may move in an order you don't expect.
Level 71 - 699. There are multiple ways to solve this. Pick one that doesn't require you to move as many walls.
Level 72 - 136. The solution doesn't have to be symmetrical.
Level 73 - 649. The laserspots don't have to get in each other's way.
Level 74 - 798. Every step must take the laserspots closer to their final destination.
Level 75 - 713. Don't waste step moving the floors out of the way.
Level 76 - 832. Too easy to be #76.
Level 77 - 777. You will definitely have to move the lasercells around.
Level 78 - 808. Only 2 of the walls will have to be moved.
Level 79 - 818. There are many possible solutions, but only 1 that gets 818. There's no room for error.
Level 80 - 850. If you arrange the laserspots correctly, you will only have to move 2 of the lasercells.
Level 81 - 857. Looks like a butterfly!
Level 82 - 804. My solution might not be the one intended by the level designer.
Level 83 - 777. This one was hard to figure out and could possibly not be the best solution!
Level 84 - 870. There's more than one arrangement of laserspots that works, but only one that gets 870.
Level 85 - 182. It's a similar strategy to what you did in level 61.
Level 86 - 834. Give yourself a treat if you can match my 834. This is a tricky solution to a sticky level.
Level 87 - 937. Take note of what each laserspot does before you move any of them.
Level 88 - 816. A different solution from the one in OseeAsi's screen shot.
Level 89 - 935. There is an easy solution, but there is also a faster one.
Level 90 - 834. I tried a lot of different routes before I came up with 834.
Level 91 - 956. This level had me stumped for the longest time, yet the solution is quite simple. You can try a brute force solution like I did, and it will come to you just a few moves in.
Level 92 - 796. This solution is about 5% ingenuity and 95% common sense.
Level 93 - 949. This level combines the skill you learned in level 53 with the skill you learned in level 86.
Level 94 - 974. Once you know what the solution is supposed to look like, it's not hard to get there.
Level 95 - 1022. Too easy to be level 95.
Level 96 - 737. Definitely the hardest level in the game, but you get 15 steps of leeway.
Level 97 - 966. All the movable laserspots should come out the left side, although it's possible to bring one out the right instead.
Level 98 - 186. You don't need to touch any laserspot more than once.
Level 99 - 1039. The first trick is to get 2 laserspots below you and 2 above you.
Level 100 - 986. Note: After you're done, ignore the directions given by the game and click "N" to submit your score instead.

As always, if you have a better score in any level than the ones I've posted here, please let me know.

Hi i like your walkthroughs for all levels they are good. However as the levels get tougher (especially some levels) i felt that just referring to a screenshot wasnt enough lol, because many a times i was getting stuck as to how to get that final positioning. Anyhow they are good none the less. I would like to point out that some of your spoilers have dead links like that of level 73, can you please repost this walkthrough, i would really appreciate it as im stuck here since the past 2 days lol.

Sadly, I find myself no longer able to submit a score in this game. Was this deliberately disabled, or was a new bug introduced while attempting to fix something else? The game is not fun to play anymore if I can't submit a score. By the way, my total score last time I played through all 100 levels was 336,902. I submitted a bug report to MindJolt, but I think they've dismissed it as another case of someone who just doesn't know what they're doing.

Please can you help me with level 73 screen fixed?

I'm sorry level 73 isn't loading for you. I just checked and the game is the latest version that's available for it. Try emptying your browser cache and reload the game? I hope that helps.

What I meant to say: I cant pass level 73 and the pictures wont load!!

Oh! Sorry. Looks like the image solution for level 73 is the only one we don't have. I'll try to track down a proper image for that level and post it as soon as I'm able to.
