Bipole adds polarity to the usual physics fun - Time Waster
We've seen plenty of physics games before in our Time Wasters, but Bipole adds another little twist to the usual gravity-and-motion challenge: polarity.The goal in Bipole is to cause two oppositely-charged orbs to collide and destroy each other. Your only controls are the left and right arrow keys which rotate the play area causing the particles to roll, fall, and bounce.
As with real magnets, opposites attract and likes repel. Some levels (like the on pictured) contain polarity-altering devices. Hit them at the wrong time, and your particles will thwart your attempts at collision and shoot away from each other.
I hope level 7 gives you as much grief as it did me. It didn't take a long time for me to beat, but those annoying little skulls made me retry about a dozen times before I finally managed to drift down to the goal.
It's worth knowing that Bipole lets you violate the laws of physics by pausing with the space bar. When you do that, your particles come to rest and lose all momentum. Other objects in the game, however, keep right on moving. Say, that might come in handy somewhere...
