In 2015 the acclaimed puzzle game One hundred ways Challenged players with 100 tricky levels. A year later, there were 33 additional levels in the Xbox version for a total of 133 levels – each prompting the player to lead a ball to the exit. But that wasn’t always as easy as it might sound.
Enter Two hundredD. ways: The German developer Sunlight Games has increased its stakes and designed a total of 200 brand new levels. Again, the mission sounds simple, but getting the ball through each level is anything but trivial. You have to think several steps ahead in order to overcome all obstacles and lead the ball to the exit – or rather the balls: in many levels there is not just one, but two or even three of them. And it is advisable to keep them apart – if they collide, the bullets will break. This new feature, combined with up to three different levels in each level, is guaranteed to keep players on their toes.
Fortunately, there are over 40 tools players can use in their search for a ball. Multiple levels of tutorial allow players to get a grip on using these tools, including speed fields that accelerate balls to avoid falling and hammering – or accelerating a ball fast enough to make it through a loop. A catapult throws a ball in a different direction while switches open gates and operate switches. Sometimes a key is needed to open a barrier that blocks the exit. Some exits can only be reached with a teleporter. And how about rails and tubes that guide a ball exactly where it should roll?
Another cool tool is making its comeback from the original game: a crane that automatically turns the direction of a ball. But where cranes had two fields changing direction in the original game, Two hundred ways gives you twice as many – and therefore twice as many ways to handle a ball. In addition, there are tools that reduce the size of a ball so it can get through tight areas of a level – or that make it bigger so it doesn’t fall into smaller areas. Sometimes it is even necessary to turn a level to discover all the traps and clues.
Two hundred ways offers two different level sets, each with its own graphics and soundtrack.
Two hundred ways offers more than 20 hours of fun with a large selection of puzzles.
Two hundred ways is now available on Xbox!
