Well obviously the windmills being hooked up to the gears are supposed to generate more wind, so the wind can then drive the windmills again, winding the gears back up for the next time they need to use them to get more wind.
Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, there are some Platinum solutions possible. I'm actually coding in some achievements for them. Judging by the comments, the perception is that maybe that shouldn't be possible, but it definitely is. Overall, if I revised the maps so that the Gold solutions were all the extremely hard Platinum solutions, it felt way too hard, and ultimately, not fun. The Gold solutions are very challenging as is. Anyone solving all Gold should feel smart, proud, and maybe even a little smug.
This is why you don't look at dropping bombs, and get to the basement as quickly as possible. If you don't have a fallout shelter, at least try to get as much concrete as you can between you and the blast.
Can't beat a high dps when you've got the three healing spells. Every enemy you can one-hit is another point towards your next heal, use items to tide you over until then.
Hey, new guy reading the comments before playing very far in the game. You know those two shields (ground and fire) in the gadgets section the you'd thought would be useless? Buy them. buy them now and use them on level 3.
