logical deduction - How do I solve the "Between Worlds" Android puzzle game?


I've been struggling for a while with the Between Worlds Android game, and have not yet solved it. I've only noticed a couple vague properties that hold in localized cases.


enter image description here



To operate the puzzle, select the square, pentagon, or hexagon and move the lever. The spheres and rings on the right will move by some unknown conditions.


I would provide a summary of what I've done, but every example has at least two counterexamples. The only consistent pattern I've noticed is that, when a pair of pieces are in alignment, selecting the button counterclockwise of the circle that's in alignment doesn't move it out of place - but it doesn't hold in all cases, and I'm uncertain as to why.


What is the logical pattern behind this puzzle? How do I solve it?



Answer



The game is possible. I have completed it.


As you have guessed, the aim of the game is to assemble each dot with the 2 matching rings.


Hint 1



Sorry, I cannot explain exactly how the pieces moves. I haven't figures everything out. But some general patterns were enough to solve it. Don't loose your time working out every rule.




Hint 2



One of the positive reviews on the Android store speaks about lateral thinking and thinking outside of the box. Have you done that?



Hint 3



If, without being instructed to do so, you 1. select a color, 2. press the lever, 3. wait, and repeat that over and over, then you are locked inside of your own rules.



Spoiler 1




You can press 2 buttons at the same time.



Spoiler 2



Press a color, press the lever, and before the lever moves back, press and hold another color.



Final spoiler



When you start the game, activate blue 2 times to get to that recuring position where the 3 small circles overlap the large circles. From there, activate red 3 times in a row. Then, do a combined green + blue activation: press green, press the lever and quickly press and hold blue.
