Magic Pen - Fun Game with Crayon Physics

Draw your own solution to the puzzles with crayon physics

From , former About.com Guide

The object of the Magic Pen game is pretty simple. You need to touch all the flags on a level with a ball. The interesting and fun part of the game is that you need to draw all the parts you use to solve each level. You are given a crayon as your drawing tool.

You can draw circles and (almost) free form shapes. You can draw pins to attach one drawn piece to another in a static configuration and hinges to allow pieces to pivot. The amount of creativity you can use to solve some of the more difficult levels is almost unimited. That is where the real time wasting comes in. I've been working on level eight for hours. I keep finding new ways to almost solve it. Grrrrr!

Here are a few hints to to keep in mind.

  • The eraser is your friend. It is not only for correcting mistakes.

  • Triangles make good wedges.

  • Remember that you can place pins and hinges on the ball.

  • The whole thing is based on physics.
