Brain Out Level 48
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
The prompt "Find the aliens" shows a purple ringed planet in the upper left, a smiling yellow sun on the upper right, and a green flying saucer with two antennae hovering in the center. Below the saucer are three small gray rocks with tufts of grass. At first glance there are no aliens anywhere on screen — just a UFO and some rocks. The trick is that the aliens are hiding underneath the flying saucer itself, and the saucer is a draggable object that conceals them.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the central green flying saucer. It sits directly in front of a blank patch of white background, and the prompt asks you to find aliens.
- Press and hold the flying saucer itself — the dome and the rim. Drag it horizontally to the left or right, sliding it off its current position.
- As the saucer slides away, two green alien figures become visible directly underneath where the saucer was parked. They were hidden by the body of the UFO.
- Tap each of the revealed aliens to select them, or simply leave the saucer off to the side; the game detects that the aliens are now visible and triggers the congratulations popup saying "Aliens were taken away by spaceship!"
The three rocks at the bottom are covered with grass tufts and look like hiding spots, but they are painted as static scenery. The purple planet and the smiling sun are also fixed decorations. Only the green flying saucer in the center has the visual weight of an interactive object.
Press and hold the dome of the saucer, not just the rim. Slide it slowly to the left. As the saucer moves, two small green aliens with big eyes are revealed directly beneath it. Tap each alien to confirm them, or simply leave the saucer off to the side; the game detects that the aliens are now visible and pops the congratulations message.
Slide the saucer slowly to the left rather than flicking it. If you flick it, the game may not register the drag, and the aliens remain hidden. Keep your finger on the dome until the saucer is off-center. You will see two small green figures with antennae appear where the saucer used to be. Tap each alien once to confirm you found them, or simply leave them visible; the game detects the uncovered state and immediately plays the congratulations animation. The rocks below are not hiding anything, so do not waste time dragging them.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a hide-and-seek puzzle where the hiding place is the largest object on screen. Players usually scan the rocks, the sun, and the planet looking for tiny aliens, when in fact the saucer itself is covering them. The saucer is drawn as a normal interactive sprite, and in Brain Out any large central object is a candidate for being draggable. Once you move the saucer, the aliens pop out and the level clears immediately. The rocks below are decoration; moving them does not reveal anything.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not tap the rocks or the sun. They are fixed scenery and contain no hidden figures.
- Do not tap the purple planet either. It is a backdrop detail.
- Do not try to pinch or zoom. The saucer simply needs to be dragged sideways off its starting position.
