    Would anybody like to weigh-in on how this game differs from their previous release, Trappped? They both seem to have identical gameplay, although different skins...

    Perfect Paths have same gameplay mechanics, but different board size (7x7 vs 8x8) and different levels.

    Perfect Paths could be considered as Trappped 2.

    By the way update 1.13 is out! :)

    Goons? :)

    Trying not to give too much away:

    For 3:
    Hint 1
    Don't be afraid to link to the yellows.

    Hint 2:
    Avoid the middle of the grid.

    Hint 3:
    Try to make the shapes you need first then get them in position.

    For 4:
    Hint 1
    Try to connect the reds in osition first.

    Hint 2
    It's easiest to swap the blue and yellow over before joining them to the reds.

    Gahhhhhh, auto correct is funny sometimes, did ios 7.1 alter the size of the keypad buttons? It feels weird and I'm making a ton of mistakes since updating lol.


    Thank you for the tips.

    Edit

    Number three complete, it's so obvious when I approached it with top number two. Thank you, off to do four now, I hope .

    Edit number 2

    That second tip for number four really helped, I honestly don't think I'd have thought to do that, thank you very very much.

    Now to try get some proper points haha.
    Thanks again bezzy

    Can Nicola or someone in the top 5 rank post screenshots of their constellation scores through the latest, like how Split did a while back?

    Curious to see the latest top scores per level, see what I have strive to match.

    Thanks!

    Columbo has me stumped, mr bez? Wanna help again lol?

    Nicolas blog is awesome, I've picked up some great tips from there on how to approach levels when revisiting them.

    Oof. Well, I can't help with the third one, as I'm still stuck on that myself.

    I've no idea if my solutions are anywhere near the best possible, but here's what I've done. I've tried to stagger the hints again, so just use them one at a time if you just want a nudge.

    For number one, I can't remember the simplest solution as I've refined it down to a lot of joins and splits and I'm not sure how many were necessary, but my basic strategy is to
    assemble the T low down then move it in to place.

    My strategy for 2 was
    also to assemble the T low down
    and to
    worry about the reds seperately.
    as an extra hint if that didn't help, I
    didn't move the blue until I'd made the T.

    For 4, I started with
    my solution for Gemini 3
    and tried to tweak from there. I ended up
    moving the reds and yellows round anti-clockwise, but their movements weren't symmetrical.
    The trickiest thing for me was the
    blue, which I pushed to the edge with the yellow then moved it up into place.

    Finally solved the first level of Columba. It was starting to worry me and then the bam, solved, just before bed!

    Only 3 left, so sad.

    HOLY PRICKS, I got this game just a few hours ago for $1.99 and now the price is $3.99!! I can't believe how lucky I was, If I had waited for just another few hours before getting this, I'll be paying twice the amount!!

    Managed to solve the second columbo yesterday, three more to go, I'm hoping to do them before the next update but I'm not optimistic.
