🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 289
• Puzzle: Swipe the egg up to drop it
• Difficulty: Easy

🎯 Objective

Swipe the egg on the screen in the unconventional 'upward' direction to make it fall.

📝 Solution Steps

1. Check the egg displayed near the center of the screen.
2. Instead of thinking about swiping down to 'drop' something, consider trying the opposite.
3. While keeping your finger on the egg, swipe it in the upward direction (toward the top of the screen).
4. If you swipe the egg up assertively, it will go up and then fall down.
5. When the egg falls and breaks, the stage is cleared.

💡 Hints

• Question the presumption that 'to drop = swipe down'.
• Note that the puzzle statement itself is the answer.
• Simply tapping the egg will not trigger anything. A swipe action is needed.
• Try the 'opposite' direction you are thinking of swiping in.
• What happens when you swipe the egg to the 'top' of the screen...?

🧠 Analysis & Key Points

This level is a trick problem that utilizes the player's preconception of 'moving things down to drop them'. The puzzle text and the answer are exactly the same, 'Swipe the egg up to drop it', making the text itself a complete hint and answer. It's not about logical steps or complex mechanics; it's a type that tests Japanese comprehension and mindset shift. During the actual operation, when you swipe the egg strongly upward, it first rises due to the in-game gravity expression and then falls and breaks. The structure is that 'swiping upward' becomes 'dropping' as a result, like a joke based on the gap between verbal expression and game physics. The key for the player is whether they realize executing the instruction as written is the correct solution.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Trying to swipe the egg down to drop it.
• Simply tapping or long pressing the egg, waiting for a reaction.
• Trying to move the egg by swiping it left or right.
• Fiddling with the background or edges of the screen to search for hidden buttons or tricks.
• Shaking or tilting the smartphone, mistaking it for a gravity sensor trick.
