Shrink is a fun game where you have to shrink a box to a certain size before you can go on to the next level. Inside this box there is a bouncing square or squares and they must not touch the side of the box you are shrinking. If they touch the side of the box you are shrinking, you lose. Playing this game kind of reminds of me playing the old Jezz-ball game on the computer, even though the games are different. The strategies you use for both games can be similar as specific patterns tend to work better for shrinking the box to the certain size, especially where there get to be a lot of squares bouncing around in the box. I’ve written a few tips on how to get maximum shrinkage below. |
The huge tip here is to try to get the box as far away from the square shape as possible. An oblongated rectangle is much easier to shrink than an equal square. Do not try to shrink all the sides at the same rate. The first step is always to shrink it either horizontally or vertically, but not both. After you have shrunken one of the dimensions, you can start shrinking the other. Shrinking the other will be much easier now because the boxes will have to go through many more bounces before it reaches the end of the dimension you are trying to shrink. You can also time things a lot better if the length is a lot greater than the width or vice versa. Also, in the later stages, you can shrink the box in a certain way that you group most of the squares on one side. This is very helpful as you can shrink the box a lot faster if all the squares are gathered in one area. This, however, only works if your box is oblongated. The squares simply disperse if your box is a square in shape. If you remember Jezzball, you’ll also recall that it was much easier to block off an area if the section you were trying to block off happened to be rectangular instead of square in shape.
Happy shrinking.
