Master the art of particle collision physics
Your goal in Brownian is simple: change all the colored particles to a single target color before time runs out. You achieve this by impacting your steel ball into the right particle field, where elastic collisions transfer energy and change particle colors upon contact.

Your primary tool is a silver steel ball that you control. It has significantly more mass than the colored particles, which means:
The floating particles are the core of each puzzle. Key characteristics:
The playing field is a vertical test tube shape, designed to create interesting bounce physics:
When you pause the steel ball, time will slow down, and it will decelerate of a factor given by difficulty (4x easy, 3x medium, 2x hard). While paused
When you pause the steel ball, you'll see a dotted trajectory line showing where your ball will travel. This prediction accounts for:
Each collision with a particle advances its color through a predetermined sequence. In most levels:
Plan your shots to hit particles the right number of times to reach the target color.
Hit Stars are computed given the MINIMAL amount of hits you have to each to bring all particles on the same color. Minimal amount= three stars , less or equal than the double of the minimal amount = two stars. More that that one star
Time Stars are computed given the residual time. On easy you got five seconds per particle, on medium four, on hard three. Complete in the first third of the time and you got three stars on the second third two, otherwise three
Time pauses when you pause the steel ball, of a factor according to your difficulty
When you successfully match all particles of one color group, a firework sequence celebrates your achievement. You can disable them in settings if you don't feel like celebrating :)
Before launching, visualize how the ball will bounce. Wall bounces can help you reach particles in tricky positions. Think of it like a game of billiards, but with gravity.
The steel ball falls as it travels. Aim slightly higher than your target to account for the arc. For distant particles, use a stronger launch to minimize gravity's effect.
When particles are grouped together, a well-placed shot can hit multiple particles in sequence. Look for opportunities to maximize each shot's effectiveness.
Particles move randomly. If a particle is moving toward your trajectory, it might be easier to hit. If it's moving away, you might need to lead your shot or wait for better positioning.
Remember that each hit advances the color. Don't hit a particle too many times or you might cycle past the target color and need to hit it again to cycle back.
Master the art of using walls to reach difficult particles. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, just like light bouncing off a mirror. Practice bank shots to access particles hiding behind others.
In the tight confines of the test tube, your steel ball can hit multiple particles before losing momentum. Plan shots that maximize contact with multiple targets, especially when they share the same color state.
While the ball is in motion, you cannot launch another. Use this time to observe particle movement and plan your next shot. Strategic patience often leads to faster completion times than rapid, unplanned shots.
