magnetica DS alternate controls

[RJ]

love this game but wonder if there's a way to play w/out the stylus, my hand cramps up somethin fierce. the tutorials always mention the stylus but in the Options screen there's an icon of what looks like a dpad/button choice- but it's greyed/locked out for me. is this an unlockable (seems dumb to me) or maybe the prev. Owner locked it out somehow? I don't have the manual.

BTW anyone pass level 27 in quest mode? Seems impossible, please share strategy.

Yeah. The manual does not mention in text any button control option or lack thereof. It's only shown grayed out in a screenshot, no explanation why it's even there.

It's an unlockable option.

To unlock the Control Pad Launcher, you must get at least a silver medal in every quest.

+Control Pad/L&R
Rotate the launcher

A Button
Launch a marble

B Button
Switch between multiple launchers

An optional control method has to be unlocked?

That's rather... lame.

It would be even funnier if you had to unlock "colorblind mode".

Yeah, I thought so too, until Frankie above described it. Seems stylus control is ideal.


I thought the vast wealth of gaming knowledge here would help me rather than Google. Someday you'll ask someone "how are you today?" & they'll say "GOOGLE IT!!!" :(

Gee, sorry, didn't mean to offend you, dude. I just figured using a search engine would've gotten you a quicker answer rather than waiting for someone to read your post and reply. :/
