Post your Polarium puzzles

I know this is a thread for posting puzzles, but goddamn, am I stuck on levels 44 and 46! I know I could look a solution up on Gamefaqs most likely, but I'm trying not to. Anyone got any hints to help figure them out?

Edit: I figured 44 out, but 46 is still kicking my arse.
 
You know Polagen ?

Well, trying out the wifi-boot demo of Polarium, I discovered that it contained six puzzles that didn't appear in the actual game. The first five (which spell out "Polarium DS") aren't the most inspired puzzles, but a few are reasonably challenging. The sixth is quite good... I'm surprised it wasn't in the full game.

The diave: for 46 (I just popped back to take a look at that puzzle):

The X's are where you need to have your stroke:

OXXXXXO
XXOOOXX
XXOOOXX
XOOOOOX
XXOXXOX
OXOOXOO
XXOXXOX

I did it this way a few minutes ago:

OOOOOOV<<
OOV<<<<O^
V<VOOO>>^
V^<OOO^<O
>VOOOOO^O
O>VOSVO^<
OOVOOVOO^
OE<OV<O>^
OOOO>>>^O

S = start, E=end arrowhead points in direction to go.

In other news, I just beat teh D-barrier!:

ive been curious about this game ever since it came into work a bit ago. Reading all the impressions makes me wanna get this now. Perhaps I will stop playing Lumines if I get this.
 
Despite being one of the most avid posters in this thread, I still give the game a solid: Don't buy. (not even a try before you buy), because the game IS solid, but very limited. There's only so far the puzzle mode can keep you interested, even with the possibility of of infinite puzzles, and the challenge mode seems more like trial and error rather than good gameplay, with a bit of annoying controls thrown in. Not that the controls suck, but you may need to to a bit of calibraiton outside the game to get it to work best - it's not so much that touch is bad, but for a game where you need to playthis fast (on later levels), you want to be as accurate as possible.

However, it looks as I'm alone on this. I DO play it a lot, and it's not bad, it's just I don't think I got my money's worth, and keep wanting to play it more just to justify the price.
 
The game is indeed limited. I enjoy puzzle mode a lot though, but the 100 stock puzzles are not enough. Sure, you could keep inputting codes from other people but I can see that getting old after a while.

Challenge mode isn't very fun imo. I'll say, try before you buy, and even if you want to buy it, wait for it to appear in bargain bins. I essentially got mine after trading in some games, so you could go that route if you want. It's definitely not something I'd recommend at full price.

I'm having more fun with Zoo Keeper, but I'm really waiting for Meteos.
 
I have to agree. I like Polarium, but it should have been budget priced in NA (like it was in the rest of the world). Challenge mode is all about memorization, takes too long, and isn't really much fun. Puzzle mode is really great but fairly short, even if you don't use the hints. Trading puzzles is really cool but better if you're doing it with your friends rather than forum people. Multiplayer is supposedly more fun than challenge but only if you have someone to play with. (It is single-card multi, for what it's worth.)

If you're working with a limited gaming budget, it's hard to recommend. There are many better puzzlers on the GBA (Monkey Ball Jr., Chu Chu Rocket, etc.), so unless you're really looking to use the touch screen...
