Thanks, and Legal ************************************************ 1. Updates 30/03/2005 Thanks to James Drake for sending in the solutions to puzzles 51 - 60. You've really helped speed the process of finishing this guide for me! As before, I'm hoping to get most if not all of the puzzles solved before Polarium hits the US. :) 24/03/2005 First 31 puzzles are now solved (version 0.31). 22/03/2005 Five more puzzle solutions (version 0.25). 20/03/2005 The first 20 puzzles have been solved - I'm hoping to have most of them (if not all) solved by the US release. Tomorrow I will add the solutions to some of the blocks of tiles which fall in challenge mode, and will add the solutions for the next five or ten puzzles. 19/03/2005 The framework of the guide is done. Over the next few days I will be adding Stock Puzzle Solutions by the bucket load! After that, I will focus on Challenge Mode tips. If you have any tips you'd like to be included, or any custom puzzle passwords, please send me an e-mail: [email protected] 18/03/2005 Started work on the guide today. I've got a long way to go. If there is a section of Polarium that I haven't yet covered, perhaps the best place to go would be the GameFAQs Polarium message board: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=925392 ************************************************ 2. Game Data Title: Polarium Also Known As: One-Line Puzzle, Hito Fude, Chokkan Hitofude (Japan) Genre: Puzzle Developer: Mitchell Publisher: Nintendo Release Dates: March 11th, 2005 - Europe April 18th, 2005 - United States December 2nd, 2004 - Japan ESRB Rating: Rating Pending Multiplayer: 1-2 players single AND multi-card ************************************************ 3. Game Description Polarium is a unique, addictive puzzle game designed to be played entirely with the touch screen and stylus of the Nintendo DS. Black and white tiles are arranged in a grid, surrounded by a grey border. By moving the stylus over tiles, they flip over. Black tiles flip over to become white tiles; white tiles flip over to become black tiles. The grey tiles are your friends - they don't flip over, so that you can get to the other end of the grid easily. The object of the game is to make all the tiles in horizontal rows (not counting the grey border) either black or white, in one stroke of the stylus. In this strokeyou cannot go over the same tile more than once, and you cannot jump across tiles. i.e. The next tile you go to must be directly next to the tile your stylus is currently pointing at (you can't go diagonally). Sounds a little complicated in writing, but all becomes clear in the game's tutorial (the tutorial is offered to you as soon as you boot up the game). ************************************************ 4. Controls This may be the easiest controls section anyone has ever written! The entire game is operated with the stylus - I haven't pressed a button or the d-pad yet in Polarium. - Navigate the menus by touching the text and icons. - To draw a path in puzzle or challenge mode, touch the tile where you wish for the path to start at, then move the stylus in the direction the path should go. Do not lift up the stylus when drawing a path! Once the path is drawn, lift up the stylus then touch the red box which appears on the tile your path ends on. ************************************************ 5. Game Modes When you first load up Polarium, you're asked if you wish to try out the tutorial. If you have never played it before, then the tutorial is a must! After completing (or skipping) the tutorial, you appear at the menus. - Challenge --- Challenge (Clear out horizontal rows whilst more tiles fall from the top screen.) --- Practice (Practice Challenge - do the challenge without worrying about getting a game over!) --- High Scores (View the high scores in Challenge mode. It displays grades, raw scores, and total lines.) - Puzzles --- Puzzles (Try completing a range of set puzzles in your own time, or try your hand at some custom puzzles.) --- Edit (Create custom puzzles which you can send to other players.) - Versus --- Versus (Play Polarium against a friend. Set the number of games and / or the overall time.) - Lounge --- Tutorial (Access the tutorial again from here.) --- Wireless Link (Send a demo of Polarium to a friend, or trade custom puzzles.) --- Setttings (Set the music and sound volume, erase data, and alter the backlight.) --- Credits (Find out who made your favourite puzzle game! This is not available right at the beginning.) ************************************************ 5. Key to this Guide When I display puzzles in this guide, I will stick to this key: W - white tile B - black tile G - grey tile IMPORTANT NOTE!! - In puzzles the positions of the black and white tiles are sometimes reversed. In these cases assume W to be black and B to be white. You will get used to this, honest! :D Underneath each puzzle, I will display the grid again in numbers. The zeros will represent a tile you should not put your path on. Natural numbers from one will represent the order in which your path should be created. For example, in the puzzle: G G G G G G W W B G G W W B G G W W B G G G G G G You will want to draw a line straight down the blacks, so that path diagram will look like this: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm hoping this system will be fairly easy to follow. ************************************************ 6. Challenge Mode In challenge mode, there is an 11x11 grid on the touch screen (including grey tiles), and a further grid on the top screen. As you clear horizontal rows, more tiles "fall down" from the top screen. If you're too slow in clearing rows, the total number of tiles will pile up and cross the red line on the top screen... which means game over for you! Challenge mode goes by its name - it is very difficult. Over the next week or so I'm going to gather some tips together to help you get your E- grade just a little higher! ~~~~~ Challenge Mode Tips to Come ~~~~ ************************************************ 7. Puzzle Mode IMPORTANT NOTE (incase you missed it last time)!! - In puzzles the positions of the black and white tiles are sometimes reversed. In these cases assume W to be black and B to be white. You will get used to this, honest! :D Here you will find solutions to Polarium's "Stock Puzzles" (found in Puzzle mode). You will notice that in many puzzles there is more than one way to complete it. If I take a ridiculously long path to complete a puzzle, and you know how to do it in half the steps, then please send me an e-mail!

Wireless Link When you go into the wireless link menu, you're presented with the following options: 1) Send Polarium Demo 2) Send Custom Puzzles 3) Receive Custom Puzzles If you choose to send a Polarium demo, a friend can download the tutorial, 10 puzzles, and versus mode onto their Nintendo DS. This is a pretty good feature of Polarium: the downloadable tutorial gives new players the ability to learn the basics really quickly, before you pummel them in versus mode! If you know somebody with a copy of Polarium, you can trade custom puzzles over the wireless link. If you don't, then you still have the ability to trade passwords of custom puzzles over internet message boards. ************************************************ 9. Versus Mode I can say hand-on-heart that this is one of the most fun multiplayer modes I've ever played in a puzzle game! To start a game, both players must select "Versus" in their copies of Polarium (or the Polarium demo). You will then asked to turn your Nintendo DS sideways, so that the A Button is closest to you. On the touch screen, you will see your grid. On the top screen (now to the right of the touch screen), you will say your opponent's grid. When you clear a horizontal row in versus mode, the entire row moves over to your opponent's grid (the tiles do change on that row however when it moves over). When your opponent clears a row, it moves over onto your grid. The aim of the game of the versus mode is to completely clear your grid of black and white tiles first. If you're too slow, and your grid is completely full of tiles, then you lose. Versus mode moves at a fast pace, but thankfully you can see what your opponent is doing all the time. If you can see that they're screwing up, then you can take a risk and spend some time clearing several rows at once. If your opponent is about to send all their rows over at once, then quickly clear just one or two rows. The key to winning versus mode is know what your opponent is doing, and from that evaluate how much time you have to clear your rows. Make sure you send a row over to them as often as possible, to keep you from danger. This multiplayer mode will soon become addictive! ************************************************ 10.
