The thing you gotta do is build color conduits, i.e. two streams of color next to each other, not unlike paired wires. Makes it easier to visualize how to get colors from one side to another without cutting off \"single wires\".

Level 17 is bitching me around because there are very few black squares to guide me about. :(

Yes. 16 is evil. But once it's done... the rest aren't so bad... but they try.

Yeah, JBOMB has it.

There are three strategies I've been employing.

1) Path of least interference.
Try to avoid every other square when connecting squares that look difficult.

2) Shortest path.
Take the shortest path between squares, tends to work better when two different colors are near each other and you make an interlocking type pattern, like that of a tennis ball or baseball.

3) No other choice.
Level 21 has four blocks lined up, so you can figure out that a bunch of squares HAVE to be a certain color.

Level 21 is where I'm at right now.

Level 16... Am I even anywhere close? I don't want the answer, just if I'm on the right track...

Your yellow line is correct, all the others are wrong.

It's funny how different people's minds work...I got stuck on 13 for quite some time, yet I finished 16 within a minute or so. This is definitely a very fun game. :)

Lobber, I had my yellow line running completely different from that; I'm guessing there are at least a few ways to solve some of these puzzles.

SD, I really can't remember what I did, but I will give you a little hint:

[spoiler]The colors I left for last were yellow and purple. I remember this because, after thinking I had it all solved, I noticed the purple squares I had managed to overlook up to that point. :P[/spoiler]

Edit: Damn, level 17 is just pissing me off. Cursed blue! :P

Edit 2: Well, I don't know how, but I got it. Tell me, why am I up until this hour trying to finish this? :P

I'm stuck on 19 now. I had been stuck on 16, but left it and came back later, got it on the first try.

EDIT: 23's got me now.

Ugh, I got stuck on 19 for almost an hour last night, then I finally decided that getting any sleep at all was more important than solving a Flash puzzle. Guess it's back to the beginning for me; I just hope I can remember what I did. :P

Edit: A Continue feature? God be praised! :P

You know that big open space on the left face? Use it. (And pay attention to the fact that they already said what one of the correct lines was.

All right, I officially despise 19. :P

Edit: No longer. 23 at long last...

I've only tried a few patterns so far. It's reminding me of how I felt about 19, i.e. \"There's no freakin' way this can be solved without crossing paths!\" :P

Got all 30 in about an hour and a half. 16, 19, and 23 were the ones that I was stuck on for a bit.

The last levels would have been harder if they had added another color.
