Solve Visual Puzzle / Untangle Lines Game
Christmas Bugs is a very tricky, visual brain teaser puzzle game that could well remind you of trying to untangle the Christmas tree lights from last year! In each challenging and timed level (of 24 increasingly-difficult levels), you must untangle a web of buzzing bugs (large-eyed flies) that have gotten their lines overlapped and crisscrossed! Can you carefully maneuver the flies until all of their lines are free from crossing over each other?
Reasons to play this hard, visual problem-solving game: As well as being a good fun, family-friendly activity online at home over the holidays, this game is also a hard, interactive skill-based game for younger children, teens and grownups to play year-round.
Test your patience and exercise your focus & concentration levels, analytical thinking skills, strategy planning ability, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving determination and persistence as you attempt to untangle the complex web of floating bugs! Brain and reaction speed are also important here as you must score at least some points to progress to a higher level. Happy untangling!
How to Play: A Flash-based, visual brain teaser game for notebook, laptop and desktop PC / Mac (with certain browsers). In each of the 24 increasingly-difficult levels, you must completely untangle all of the overlapping lines / wires attached to the bugs. If a line is red in color, it currently overlaps / crisscrosses with at least one other line. If a line is white – it is free of any overlapping.
Left Click on your computer mouse or touchpad, and drag a bug to move it (and its attached lines) around the play zone. Release your click to position the fly in the web of lines. Keep planning, dragging and maneuvering bugs around until all of the lines turn white.
Keep a keen eye on the running clock (in the top right corner). If you complete the level in sufficient time to score points, the next level becomes available. However, if it takes you too long to solve the jumbled line arrangement and untangle the bugs, you score 0 points, and must re-play the level. Note that your maximum time available to solve the level is not stated – so your strategy should be to solve each puzzle arrangement as fast as you can.
Tip: When you complete any 5 levels, you earn a special ‘fly spray’ which eliminate bugs when used. This bonus resource can very helpful in later levels when stuck. Perhaps ask a family member or best friend to help you to solve a problem puzzle before resorting to using the magic spray.
