SHAPE Walkthrough (Colorbomb): Web Version Hints & Solutions

Keep only O and X from each word. Put those two letters in their original column positions, leaving all other squares blank.

1. Read the list from top to bottom: OXIDE, BOXES, XENON, EPOXY, XYLOL.
2. Fill the five rows of the O/X panel as OX···, ·OX··, X··O·, ··OX·, X··O·. The dots mean leave the square blank.
3. The panel releases a blue key beneath it. Pick up the key for the next part of the room.

Each three-wheel device has its own answer. Read the digits across the center line of the wheels, and treat the dark and light devices separately.

1. After the O/X panel, collect the blue key and inspect the glass cabinet, including the yellow yin-yang note and the objects on its shelves.
2. Set the dark circular device to 347 across its three center digits. Set the light circular device to 458. These are separate combinations; do not type 138 from the crossed-out note.
3. Continue checking the devices as the room changes. A later three-wheel stage uses 958; if a device still shows a new lock, it belongs to that later stage.

Work through the color-pad stage until the small slot beneath it opens. The strip inside is a clue for the later shape display, not the floor drain.

1. Complete the four-pad color interaction on the round device. It cycles through colored flashes rather than presenting a single permanent four-color picture, so copy the flashes and their positions as they appear in your run.
2. Take a photo of the symbol strip that appears in the slot below the pads. You will use its flat diagrams at the six-position display near the end of the Demo.
3. When the later light number-wheel stage is available, set its center digits to 958 to continue opening the room.

Study the conversion examples on the device below the glass cabinet. Translate the shapes in the drain grid into digits, then read them in the device’s order.

1. Inspect the example device beneath the glass cabinet to learn how its diagrams turn into numbers.
2. Apply the same rule to the four sections of the floor drain grid. Read the results in the indicated order: 4, 5, 3, 2.
3. Enter 4532 on the four-digit lock behind the clothes.

Exchange the top and bottom rows while keeping the left-to-right order within each row. The middle row stays in place.

1. Inspect the smaller demonstration panel and the connected nine-dot device. The rule swaps the top and bottom rows without mirroring the columns.
2. On the left input grid, light the top-left dot, the center dot, and all three dots in the bottom row. Leave the other four dark.
3. The corresponding right-side display shows all three top dots, its center dot, and the bottom-left dot. Once the input matches, the device opens the route to the dark window puzzle.

Click and drag the handle sideways to line up the bright moving object with the star-like target. Watch how the hanging lights shift as you move.

1. Open the dark window after the nine-dot device has activated the door.
2. Drag the bottom handle horizontally until the bright object reaches the star-like target. Keep adjusting rather than repeatedly clicking the target itself.
3. After the window sequence, check the illuminated clue strip on the side table. Its small black-and-white shapes help with the final geometric display.

Inspect the pink solids in your inventory and match each one to a flat net. Read the answer across the six pedestals, left to right.

1. Collect the six pink solids around room 12, including the one near the plants and the object released from the closet after entering 4532.
2. Place them from left to right as a tall rectangular prism, a cylinder, a short box, a small pyramid, a cone, and a faceted many-sided solid.
3. When all six are in place, use the switch in the middle of the display. The corridor leading out of room 12 opens.

After inserting the key, look for the indicator light beside the large triangle. The triangle is the final control.

1. Walk through the corridor unlocked by the six-solid display.
2. Use the blue key on the matching wall socket near the last door. Wait for the device's indicator to turn green.
3. Press the lit triangle and continue through the exit to finish the browser Demo.
