Machinarium Hints
How can I break the cable over the bridge?
1 of 11: The first thing to do here is to look at the bird sitting on the power pole.
2 of 11: He's your solution.
3 of 11: Notice that he seems to be copying everything you do.
4 of 11: If you move onto the bridge, he will move onto the cable.
5 of 11: And, if you were on that cable, how might YOU break it?
6 of 11: Perhaps applying pressure continually by shifting your weight back and forth until it snapped?
7 of 11: Or if not back and forth, then... another dimension?
8 of 11: Up and down, maybe?
9 of 11: Don't forget that you can stretch and squish yourself.
10 of 11: The bird will try to copy this behavior.
11 of 11: So, if you stand on the bridge and extend/shrink yourself a few times in a steady motion, the bird will break the cable and fall to the bridge.
