Amazing Alex Game.
August 6, 2012
Intro:
Amazing Alex Game is the latest hit from Rovio, the well-known brains behind Angry Birds. Amazing Alex hit the number one spot in the Itunes App Store paid app position, eight hours after its release. The move to first place is the quickest of any game that is not a movie tie-in, or an expansion of an existing app. Amazing Alex is a physics-based puzzle solving game where it's your job to help Alex solve puzzles. By dragging and dropping pieces from your toy box you give rise to extravagant apparatuses to complete various tasks.

Our Amazing Alex Guide:
Above is the Welcome Screen after launching Amazing Alex. The red gear on the right drops down when pressed. This opens a menu with options to switch on or off sharing and the game sound. The bottom icon opens game credits and also gives links to Rovio's Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement. The drop down menu on the right gives you quick links to Amazing Alex's Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts. Touch the large red and white play icon to go to the next screen to select your chapter or access your downloaded levels or create your own levels.
Main Menu
The Main Menu is separated into a series of notebooks called The Classroom, The Backyard, Alexs Bedroom, The Treehouse, "Downloaded Levels" and "My Levels".
Chapters
All the included levels in the Amazing Alex Game is divided into 4 chapters. Each chapter contains 32 levels except for The Classroom which only has 16. As the levels progress different toys are made available for each level. And each chapter becomes increasingly more challenging. Many of the early levels are very simple but the last levels are quite intricate and will require some head scratching to complete.
Level Goals
In each level your goal is to build some unique contraptions to start a long chain reaction of events to complete a simple goal. Such as putting a ball into a laundry basket or bucket, popping or freeing a balloon, flying off with a doll, or breaking a piggy bank. Each level also contains three stars. While it is not required to get all three stars on each level this is usually the most challenging way to enjoy every level. And gaining more star gives you quicker access to more levels and toys. You are required to get all the stars on every level to use the RC helicopter in the level builder.
How To Play
When you start a level some hints will appear on the screen. A blue circle will emerge around the toy you need to move. And a blue arrow will point to where that toy needs to go. If a blue 'X' appears over a toy it means you need to break that item to beat the level.
In the lower right hand of each level you are provided with Alex's toy box. To build a contraption in order to win each level you will need to drag toys from the toy box to the playing field. After you have placed the toy you can still rotate it by tapping it. A blue rotating circle will appear around the selected toy. Hold your finger on the blue circle and dragging your finger around the toy will rotate it.
If you want to remove an object from play drag it back to toy box. You cannot move any toys on the playing field that you did not place from Alex's toy box. If you tap an already placed item a red 'X' will appear over it to remind you that it can't be moved.
After you have all your toys in the proper place tap the red play button on the top right of your screen. You will get to watch your creation at work.
In Game Options
Above is the capture of the screen you can reach in any level by tapping the red circle with three dots in it on the top left of your screen. (Ads may very). On this screen you get a few icons.
- The red circle made with an arrow icon will erase all your placed toys and restart the level.
- The red light bulb takes you to the shared solutions. (see below)
- The three rows of dots followed by a line will take you back to the level select notebook.
- The speaker icon will toggle on and off the game sound.
- To return to the game just tap the circle with the three dots again.
The Shared solutions is a very helpful screen that gives you the option to see all your gamecenter friend's solutions for the current level and to view Alex's three star solutions. A short guide to see how Alex completed the level. This can be very handy if you get stuck on a level. But remember there can be many different ways to solve most levels. And if you get stumped on a level please checkout all our Amazing Alex Walkthroughs.
Level Complete
After finishing a level, hopefully with three stars, you are taken to the above screen. Here you are given a few more options.
- The three rows of dots followed by a line will take you back to the level select notebook.
- The red circle made out of an arrow icon will replay the level.
- The red circle with two triangles icon will take you to the next level.
- The smaller two sided triangle will share your solution on the game center.
- On the right of the screen under the light bulb you can tap to watch Alex's, your gamecenter friends and your previous solutions too the completed level.
