Magic Pen
Magic Pen is a physics-based puzzle playground created by Alejandro Guillen (Spin the Black Circle). It's easy to see the design, from visual style to overall concept, was taken from Crayon Physics, but because Magic Pen is a Flash game, it's much more accessible. Using the mouse, simply draw shapes to create bridges and guide the red ball to the flag. Making shapes and dropping them from the sky will set the ball in motion, and you can also craft structures with hinges (both fixed and movable) for more complex maneuvers.
The shapes you draw are affected by three basic principles: gravity, friction, and inertia. In other words, common sense physics. Drawn shapes will fall to the ground, bump against each other, and sit still unless acted upon by another moving shape. You can draw just about any object you please, but Magic Pen automatically smooths out jagged edges into a more block-like shape. The entire game is mouse-driven, all you have to do is click and start drawing.
Pins and hinges link objects together and allow you to craft more complex machinery to get the ball to the goal. Hold the [S] key and click inside an object to draw a pin, then draw a second object that overlaps the "X" and it will be held in place. For a movable hinge, press and hold the [D] key and start drawing. The shape you create will be affected by gravity and slowly swing around the pivot point towards the bottom of the screen.
There are over two dozen levels in Magic Pen, each one more wickedly devious than the last. There's even a sandbox mode accessible from the in-game menu (press [Q]). The number of shapes you used to complete each puzzle is recorded, and once you beat the game you can submit your scores to see how well you did compared to other Magic Penners.
Analysis: Good-looking, simple, engaging and fun, Magic Pen is exactly what I like to see in a casual online title. The game doesn't try to hide the fact that it's a near-direct clone of Crayon Physics; Alejandro even thanks Petri Purho in the credits. One key difference is you can't do "shape bumping", or drawing overlapping objects so they pop on top of each other. And when Crayon Physics Deluxe is finally released, it will no doubt contain much more content than Magic Pen.
Magic Pen takes place in real-time, meaning once you draw a shape it's immediately set into motion. This really keeps you on your toes, but it can also be frustrating when trying to draw delicate platforms in a pinch. A start/stop mechanism would make it much more of a cerebral puzzle game, whereas the current setup feels like an arcade experience.
A great Flash experience that's fun as a webtoy and challenging as a puzzle game. Play Magic Pen.
Great game, but I have two suggestions:
1) I agree that a start/stop would be nice.
2) Unless it counts towards my score (and I don't see a score anywhere), don't tell me how many objects I used. That makes me feel like I have to minimize the object count, but that count is hardly my fault. With realistic (i.e. unpredictable) physics, I may have to drop more than one weight to get something up a hill, etc.
This is great! I've been wanting an online Crayon Physics type game. Thanks.
Wow this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Really challenging
i don't know if i like the game when i try to read the instructions the arrows at the bottom of the picture don't work
This is a cool game! Difficult with the touchpad, as always. But otherwise amazing and difficult puzzle.
Is it too late to suggest this as the winner for last year's Ball Physics design competition? :-)
I would disagree about it being entirely mouse-driven. You need to use three keys as well!
Level 10???
Well, if we're being technical, John wrote "the entire game is mouse-driven" not "the game is entirely mouse driven". There's a difference.
It can be true that the game is mouse-driven, even if some keys are used as well.
...never mind
@expired
Level 10:
JDB
ethier this game is impossible, or i suck, i cant beat level five. i cant get that ball up a ramp!!!
level 13 is disgusting. I'm so stuck. any hints?
Is it just me, or does this game have absolutely no support for concave figures?
Level 12 is insane. Help?
How the heck are you supposed to do level 12?
Charlie, to get through level 13 remember that hinges let objects you draw pass through whatever they're attached to.
blargney, thanks for the rapid response but i'm not sure i get it... probably me being an idiot! oh well.
That's odd... In one of the levels, instead of the ball, you're supposed to move a block to the flag. I suppose it's guessable, but a little warning would have been nice ;)
Also, the level number is cut off once you get to level 10 , and you just see the level digit.
Apart from this, the game has been pretty cool!
Power of posting- got it! Thanks.
The easy way:
You can solve most levels by making a chain of small links tied to the ball on one end. To the other end, tie a big block which drops off the screen and pulls everything else along, towards the flag.
That said, I think it would be an improvement if the world had no edge, i.e. you couldn't just drop things in infinite abysses.
Have you guys been searching "drawing games" on google too? I found that game yesterday! i got stuck on the the (First?) angled gap level.
In general:
It's adorable and fun, but I hate the way it assumes shapes. For example, if you try to draw something shaped like the outline of a T it will round out the bottom instead of going in and down... Sorry if that's not explained well, I'm not sure how to word it.
Wow, level 12 is hard. A square to move? >.
Good game, though, I've been waiting to see a Flash version of Crayon Physics for a while.
Level 12 is actually pretty easy, I did it with only 3 objects. Just build a long span balanced on the orange block, pin it to the red square with a vertical block, then pin something really heavy to the other end so as to swing the red block upwards into the flag.
I haven't had any luck getting enough momentum going in level 13 though.
yay level 16 in an hour lol
Well, I made it to level 24 before giving up. Hard one.
Okay, well, I just solved level 13, but I'm not sure if my solution was actually the intended one, as it required thinking like a game physics programmer.
This is sweet! Abusable, but sweet.
For hilarity, try stacking balls on top of each other, it works and looks very funny. And then you knock them down!
Level 13 is easier than it looks.
put a hinge in the stationary block above the ball and draw a swinging arm that goes from the corner behind the ball up above the stationary block (thru the hinge).
make a swing arm device (as seen in the tutorial) to hit the top of the swing arm by the ball really freakin hard, and it should roll all the way up
Managed to get to 19th on the high score list, very fun game. :)
A tip for those who have trouble with the square levels:
What I did for 13 was:
when there's a square to move
Alright, 24 is HARD! :P
Finally, it is done. That took SO long. Really nice game; I found the hand drawn-ness of it and the constantly looping music very relaxing (annoying after a while though!). Now, back to revision...
Nevermind, I got it! Beat heat the game, quite enjoyed all of it. Now I have to write an essay...great distraction! 65th place...I think.
I'm not gonna lie, this is one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. Physics-based games have always been a favorite of mine, and the openness of this one is delightful.
Yay for 13th All-time high! :)
What an awesome game :) I finished it, but I think the ways I finished the later levels were probably not the designers intention. 25 especially I am not proud of! how did others do it?
Randomly Orderly: You can make any shape using pins. Just pin convex shapes together to make complicated stuff.
I love the game, but it's too short! The second time through, I breezed through all the levels. I'd love to see some hideously challenging ones that would require really complex mechanisms. And bigger levels at that ^^
And yes, like blargney said,
Trebuchets win many levels instantly ^^
tymbri: I agree. The game is awesome but some of the levels I completed with sheer brute force.
Level 25:
I'm totally stuck on level 21. HELP!
Labyrinth. there are two easy ways to bet this level.
not cheating:
lay a chain on the ground underneath the hanging chains and connect it to the box on the left and to some huge object on the right that will fall off the screen and drag the box thru the hanging chains to the flag
or cheating
you can erase the hanging chains with the eraser tool
So, stuck on 21. What the heck?
Can't do level 11 because
Seems impossible otherwise.
GREAT GREAT GREAT !!! but I lost a lot of time !!!!
@Ezrabbit: To get number 11,
I'm not too happy with that one though, and would like to hear how other people have done it.
if you are stuck on level 11, here's my solution
lol, 99th
there are some levels which are hard, but all can be solved with a few tactics
of course, that is why I didnt score so well. If I did things the hard way I'd have done better, but at 3am I havent the patience :P
I'm quite a big fan of the humble crane, myself.. Which works particularly well for Level 25:
i cant get level 11 too but i have moved the ball to the far left made the biggest block i could and made a pin and made a small rectangle then made another rectangle down and set another pin and made a long shalf for the flag but when i do this it shakes too much and shakes the ball off... oh well
Finished! Loved every minute of it. Want MORE! Could be more difficult towards the end. Best game played all year. Bravo!
I haven't had this much fun with a flash game in a long time.
Completed. . . But I saw that all time high score is 28!!!
That is simply crazy 0_o
Need help @ level 19! Thank you
Most levels can actually be solved by using only one shape.
Really nice game concept. I quit after I almost beat a level, but accidentally erased a bridge and knocked the ball off the screen.
this game is sweet. too bad my comp is about as fast as a hyundai elantra in a snowstorm...
who does the music for this game..i love that song. sounds like someone from an alien workshop skate video.
any clues?
Addictive. Finally managed to get past all the levels except 18.
@Michael: for level 19
help please! Level 15??
19?
Wow, that's cool. I have been waiting for Crayon Physics Deluxe, and now I don't need it. When does the level editor come out?
help on lvl 10 piz
yes i know, wow only lvl 10?
wut a loser!
thx =]
Love this game. A few things that I would like to see in a future version...1. I don't think you should be able to pin or hinge the red ball/square. I got a lot more satisfaction when I had to build an elaborate set of levers than when you could tie a big weight to the ball and throw it off a cliff.
2. It would also be good to have a build area and a non build area so that you could set up devices to project the ball without being able to escort it all the way- like in level 13 where there is not enough space to build everywhere.
3. Also the expansion effect that can be used to propel the ball should be removed- where a hinge can be placed, a shape drawn, hinge removed, shape and ball try and occupy the same space, pushing one away from the other.
@help
Go see a spoiler tag about level 10 near the top, I think it is the 11th comment.
I can't even do level 8...
Something cool...
If you are on a square level (the object is a square, not a circle), you can make it a circle that is slightly larger than normal.
Get your square in the air in a pretty fixed position somehow...
Then put a hinge in the center of the square and draw a circle around the square...
The square should stay in place as the circle pivots around it.
Umm, I think I just suck but could someone tell me how to get past level......5 Please?
Okay so I got past five
Here how I did it
Fist in the annoying boc I drew a hinge (Make sure the ting that bashes the ball is draws almost up right (Oh Don't forget the ramps) Then It will crash down onto the ball sending it up one ramp almost two (If the ball starts to move backward just draw a straight line and a rectangle should appear to stop it)
Next I drew a straight Line strating from the tip of the box down ot the floor of the second floor, then I drew a pretty big ball and boom upi t went ^.^
This is a cool game!
I've made it through this game, improving my score where I can, and can get to a score of about 70. For those of you who have figured out how to score in the 30s, would you at least pass along which levels need only one item to pass them?
Thanks
Great game!
I've made it through, and after trying some levels many times I can get a score of 70.
I have no idea how people can get in the 30s. If any of you who can do that well are reading this, what are the levels you can't get with one block? No need to tell how, just wonder which ones I need to try harder on.
Didnt sleep all night - couldnt stop until I finished it:) GREAT GAME!!!
how do i do level 23? it seems impossible to me. but im not very good at this game. help please
For anyone interested in a complete video walkthrough:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1JOeiXaaxw
Waw very nice game ;)
When i can find the music ?? She is so good ....
What is the tittle ?
Thx
Holy crap! I had no idea that you could actually attach shapes to the ball or block. I found out after I had already beaten the game and googled to this page. If I had known that, it would have been a heck of a lot easier.
If you want a real challenge, do what I (accidentally) did -- try beating the game without attaching anything to the ball/block. It just took me 3 hours and change.
I am so addicted to this game and I really am not that good at it (physics are not my strong point), but I just have to figure out a way to solve each level- I still have a lot of levels to go though! I have been playing for HOURS at a time!!!!
I beat the entire game without ever pinning anything to the ball or the square. Didn't realize I could. The mechanism I built to capture the ball or square were tedious. i wish I had known. Try it for a challenge. That also goes for the obstacle blocks. The one with the square and the rotating propeller side by side I actually built a mechanism to punch the ball through the small hole the first time through. Just as I was rolling it to the bottom flag I hit the space bar by mistake. I literally screamed.
some hints, if someone likes, just for the 24 last levels...
I strongly recommend not to watch that until you spent 3 full days searching your own way. This vids can kill you imagination... and this delightful game really deserves efforts !
soon will come the ud-to-date vid with 3 shapes less
Hints:
The only levels I can't yet do in one shape are
6 - using 2
8 - using 4
14 - using 2
Using odd shapes:
Pinning and unpinning:
Thank you aaatchoummm
i can't do 6,8,10,13,14,17 in one shape. please help me with some hints.
Level 13 in one shape:
Level 10 in one shape
Level 17 in one shape
Thanks Kevin
Wow! great game !
but is there a way to select level ?
i'm only on 16 and already afraid won't restart from beginning...
i did level 12 with 1 piece.
I like this game. But I can't get in. I clicked "play" and then the preloader and ad disappeared. The game froze on a blue screen with snowflakes. What do I do? On Mofunzone I could rickt-click and press play. But I want to play free play. What do I do?
Try updating your Flash Player. The game is working fine.
Level 15 is pretty easy, I did it with 2 shapes. All you have to do is:
please help level 15!
I'm stuck.... :(
great game!
loved it..
ellesse
All in one shape, except for 6, 8 , 14 and 19. This last one is really bugging me, since I know it's solvable. Anybody that can give me a hint on how you drew it to solve it in one shape? I know the drill, just can't seem to get it right this time!
Level 19 in 1
tnx kevin! the magic pin guru! :)
Unfortunately, I'm restricted to dial-up on my home computer, and I can't get the game to fully load. (Or, it loads on the snowman page, but when I press 'play', it goes to a blank 'paper' screen, and nothing else shows up (except the side ads and top game squares banner). I have NoScript on my Firefox, but even allowing all scripts didn't change anything.
Is there a download for this game? Or any other ideas for playing it on dial-up?
(I did manage to play at work, on a faster connection, and it's pretty awesome.)
level 5???????
11 in one shape
I beat the whole game with 46 shapes.
I beat it but I didn't get a score or see a high score list. Makes me think some of you guys were lying...
My best is 30 and I am currently listed at 87 for all time high score. I really don't see how people are doing better than this! then again, two days ago I couldn't even get past level 8, I was making all kinds of crazy contraptions, but then at some point I learned how to simplify the shapes so less are needed.
I can do all levels with 1 share, except the following:
Level 6 : 2
Level 8 : 3
Level 14 : 2
Level 8 is bothering me the most.. however, I spent about 4 hours tonight getting it down from 5 to 3.. At first going from 5 to 4 took me about 2 hours and then from 4 to 3 took another 3 hours.. wow, I am so addicted to this.. each time making just the most minute, subtle adjustments, it's a lot of fun.
Level 14 hint for 2 shapes
This has got to be the freaking greatest game I've ever played in my whole life, all categories, and I´ve played some great games in my life!!!
I still can't get past 17... help anyone? :)
mis felcitaiones parael creado de este juego, mis respetos, esta fenomenal!
Horas de etretenida diversion!!
Feliidades
(My regards and respect to the creator of this game, it is phenomenal! Many hours of enjoyment! Thank you)
so you guys are stuck on levels 12 and 8, well i'm a retard cos i can't even do level 3!! its insane!!!!
Im stuck on level 26.
So what's the lowest score anyone has gotten without exploits? I'm at 60, and that's with 3 on level 11, and 3 on level 13. Yes, there are bugs that let you do those in one, but ignoring that type of thing, 60 looks pretty good. A couple more are possible from manual dexterity, clicking the erase at just the right instant, but that's not my style either. So here are what I think are the best scores per without cheating or doing acrobatics with the eraser:
1,1,2,2,2,4,2,5,3,3,3,1,3,2,2,2,3,3,2,1,4,3,1,2,2,1
And I'll admit that I only got 26 in 1 by seeing it done, otherwise 2. Level 11 reqires 3 and that took a bit of luck, otherwise 4, and getting level 8 in only 5 took a lot of luck as well.
But most of all PLEASE someone tell me how you do 26 levels in 24 shapes, as the high scores claim?!?!?!
OK, got level 21 in 3, WITHOUT erasing the chains (an obvious exploit)
Another Q: if I want to start fresh, and make the game forget my score, how do I do that? I already tried deleting my cookies with no joy. Obviously I am computer challenged....
ps; WHAT A GREAT GAME! more levels please :)
my bests are:
1,1,1,2,1,
4,2,4,1,2,
3,1,3,2,1,
1,3,2,2,1,
1,2,1,1,2,
1
Some of these might be lower than they should be b/c you can sort of wall hack and pin the ball then warp it through things.
The high scores on the website are obviously borked, people have negative scores today.
I got 26 in three shapes!
Using pure physics within the design parameters of the game I believe the theoretical best score is 50.
I can prove 51
I'm sure level 25 in 2 is do-able but I can't prove it
Levels in 1
1,2,3,4,5,9,12,15,16,23
Levels in 2
6,7,13,17,19,21,22,26
Levels in 3
10,11,14,18,20,24,25
Levels in 4
8 (my nemesis)
Correction,
I can now prove level 25 in 2 so 50 is the best score I can achieve without tricks.
For the record My best with using tricks is still 31.
The only levels I can't beet in one are still:
Level 6 in 2
Level 8 in 4
Level 14 in 2
Anyone who can help? (without hacking)
Oh happy day!
Level 8 in 3 Finally! (Standard Physics no tricks)
Lowest now 49 using standard Physics
Hi kevin, yeah i've found a few more strokes too, but level 8 in 3? DO I have to wait for the ball to move itself by brownian motion or sometheing? I got down to 4 by massive luck; it might take a dozen tries to reproduce it, or a hundred! Can do it all day in 5 now. And level 6, done in 3 but sure can't see a way to get lower.
Know any way to reset the score so I can go through again and get a legit score without exploits? I hit a couple by accident, along with the infamous level 11. Got that in 3 legit. Official score says 44, but proabably more like 49. Some levels legit but finicky timing moves: levels 4 and 16 in 1 now but would not like to do it again. Level 9 in 1 works consistently but it's kinda gimmicky:
How do you save the game if you have gotten to a certain level but have to shut the computer down?? I have started from level 1 five times times already & I have been past level 13!
i got 29 shapes !!!!!
every level in 1 shape except:
level 6: 2 shapes
level 8: 3 shapes
can't imagine to do this in 1 ....
that would be 26 shapes xD neva...but iam trying
cu
the game is not working for me.. I click play and the game starts quickly looping and jumping from page to page in a rapid cycle. is there anyway to fix this?
Yes there is: Update your Flash Player.
Dubai, nice to see someone else interested in the No Tricks method.
My level 9 solution is the same as yours. Not my favorite but it meets the requirement.
8 in 3 will take many tries but the setup is relatively easy, The issue is getting the ball moving fast enough.
Here is my solution.
Danudel,
I'd be interested in your solution to level 14 if you can describe it.
I have 2 working theories but I can't make them work.
Came close once but...

how do you beat level 5?
Hi NITRO, believe it or not you can do 5 in one shape, legit, by the laws of physics, but two is good, three is easy:
Enjoy!
Dubai Vol, When I hinge it, it doesnt hit the red ball hard enough
How do you beat level 21?
Nitro, It takes some practice. It helps to draw the object above the hinge and let it fall further to gaing power.
For the user stuck on 21
I have a method for doing it in 2 shapes but try to discover for yourself how that might be done.
Level 16. The second flag, up at the top. How do I do it?
Jerry
Level 16
Level 16 requires the use of a hinge in the orange box with the X on it. connect a bar from the hinge to the ball and then counterweight the works to raise the ball.
The whole thing can be done in 1, but I'll leave figuring out how to you.
Update:
Not happy with level 21 in one, but...
Pure physics "repeatable" solutions in 43

Very impressive, kevin, you certainly have more perseverance than me. Frr instance I see how level 6 could be done in 2, but after a couple of dozen tries without getting close, I really can't be bothered. I have done all the same levels as you in one shape....
Looking forward to more levels or even a level editor; I suspect ths one will come out eventually as a commercial title. That's fine with me I'l be first in line to buy!
Cheers from Dubai
Dubai,
Level 6 in 2 I can repeat almost every time.
If you can do 7 in one then you can bridge the gap in 1 with the same method. The rest should be obvious.
Beat the game with 29 shapes total. used 2 on level 6, 3 on level 8, and 1 for the rest.

how do you beat lvl 12???
24? Pretty hard.
I've done all of them (I think), except 13. Forget 13.
How do I solve 24? Pretty weird.
OOOOOHYEA!
34 is respectable but to solve level 10 and 11 in 1 requires large shapes to pull the ball thru objects.
This is a trick.
Using these methods most of us are down to 29 with levels 6(2) and 8(3) being the only levels not solved in 1.
Using pure physics my PB is 43.
Keep trying, you'll get there
JJ
Level 12
Level 12 requires that you put a hinge in the square and a hinge in the center box. Draw a bar joining the hinges and a counterweight to lift the square
jerry Level 13
I've posted the 1 shape solution earlier. the pure physics solution is 2. Put a hinge at the top the rectangle but behind the ball. Draw a bar from the base up thru the hinge and beyond but more below the hinge than above. Drop a ball to hit a corner of a shelf and bounce left and voila.
Jerry Level 24
In 1 - put a pin on the square and draw a circle around everything. Watch your crayon meter.
In 2 - pure physics, pin the square and join a bar leaning against the top. Put a pin at the point they touch and draw a counterweight to the right.
I just beat level 25 in 2
I also beat level 24 in 1
I don't know how to open up a game on www.BubbleBox.com
How do you beat 16in 1? there are a lot of others i am trying to figure out.
Level 16 in 1
I dont see a ball on number 12? is it glitching or am i just a stupid blindman?
What makes you think it has to be a ball?
Level 25 in one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With hack
i dont have a ball that shows up for level 12?? is it supposed to be on the page? did any one else have this problem?
How do you beat 18?
Level 25 is one of the easiest - just get rid of the rectangle or lift it high enough for your ball to go through!

Joseph, Now that you beat it using tricks, if your still interested, try using pure physics.
No erasing pins or Hinges (Erasing shapes ok)
No Shapes with lines drawn thru objects
No shapes that exceed Crayon Meter.
No shapes that suck object thru other objects.
No shapes that squeeze object into motion.
Solutions must be repeatable. (No flukes)
My PB is 43 (i originally thought 50 was as good as it gets so 43 is probably beatable)
Are there more levels?
I love this game!
Or is there at least an editor?
can someone plz help me with level 10 i tried the one shape thing that kevin wrote but it is not working for me can someone maybe give a better description no offense to kevin or anything
There are some good YouTube videos of various solutions.
Level 10 is one of the more difficult, I usually need 5-10 tries before getting it in 1
I use this program with students with physical impairments and very poor motor control who intellectually understand and could compete with the "fewest objects used" people out there, but can't be independent due to their impairments complicated by an all MAC school. Can this be addressed so my students can be independent? Thanks, D

my score right now is 38 and all the other levels have been beaten in one shape (with the exception of 14 and 6)

some of those levels are with bugging, (the level 8 in 2 shapes is not!) Good luck!
My kudos to Alejandro Guillen... This is a great game. Made it through, but dang, I used a lot of shapes...
I wish that the web page showing this game did not have the scantily clad young miss on the left side--I wanted to use this game with students but can't be showing them the game with that illustration next to it. Can it be moved??

Magic Pen contains all the good things a great game needs: blocks, flags, a destination, romance, a sweet tune, murder, and of course lots of hard levels. Magic Pen has saved my life more than once you know, like when it dragged me out of that burning building. Anyway, this game rocks my socks.
Level 16 in one.
me:
Draw a shape. Hold down the D key and click in your shape. Then draw another shape on top of your first shape.
Level 13 in One without cheats!!! Yes its true.

The page opens but nothing happens. What do you need to run the game? I have java and flash 9.
how do u do level 11? im stuck!!
I did 26 in 1 piece here's how.
Put a hinge in the square, then make a line to the square going all the way to the flag then let go you will see the block go to the flag. May take a few times. Hope it works.
i cant beat level 20 at all how in the world did you do it in 1
The http://www.miniclip.com/games/magic-pen/en/
version is slightly different, there's an added level select button for one thing.
And the curtains in level 21 are permanent.
how do you do level 4???
where is the ball ? level 12????
The ball is actually a red box. Try attaching objects to it as part of your solution.
i suck at this game sooo much!! i didnt even get passed level 5!!! help wanted!
i cant beat level 5.
lol for 15
Level 25 in 2 shapes....
draw a hinge just above the "x" in the block....
then draw a medium oblong shape from the hinge to the left....
the weight of the shape will raise the block....
then push the red ball with a circle under the block to flag....
i dont get level 13!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you do level 20?
