India isn't that much harder than China; in fact you should definitely be
able to nab all air capsules in the first eight stages after a bit of
practice but the last two stages will give you a hard time no matter how long
you've played the game so far because of the insanely high gravity.
If all you want is to beat the level you might enjoy India but aiming at the
Perfect Air Bonus can become a real pain in the...butt.
1-100m : Four colours
There are nearly no X-blocks besides those "guarding" the oxygen
tanks and each air capsule can be reached via at least one easy-
to-reach opening so you should aim at nabbing them all without
encountering any problems.
101-200m : Three colours
X-blocks are still pretty rare even around the oxygen capsules so
once again it is easily possible to pick up every item without too
much work. Since you'll encounter lots of big blocks you can haste
through the stage only having to watch out for unforeseeable
chain-reactions above you.
201-300m : Four colours
This is just like the first stage in India with the only
difference being that sometimes an air tank is lying in a complete
X-block-box which can be easily destroyed by simply drilling
through all blocks directly below it.
301-400m : Four colours
The only difference to the previous stage is that now nearly no
items can be reached directly but considering the still-moderate
gravity and air-consumption-rate you can take your time and think
about how to uncover all of them.
Alternatively you can also haste through this stage maybe just
collecting one oxygen capsule.
401-500m : Two colours
Enjoy.
501-600m : Four colours
Basically the same as 301-400m but with more X-blocks that
actually make collecting all air tanks even easier as they allow
you to cause chain-reactions with the brown blocks that surround
the goodies.
601-700m : Three colours
This stage is rather easy since big chain-reactions will both
destroy lots of normal blocks as well as the big X-block-packs
near air tanks but you need to look out for any avalanches from
above; gravity has pretty steeply risen by now and you simply
cannot foresee every chain-reaction here so you better play a bit
more defensively here, meaning that you should not haste to the
items and not move below any columns of differently-coloured
blocks.
701-800m : Three colours
This stage plays the same as the previous one.
801-900m : Four colours
This plays the same as 301-400m but with a way higher gravity and
air-consumption rate. If you only want to make it to the end you
won't have too much of a problem as there aren't that many X-
blocks but if you want to collect all air tanks without being
crushed and without running out of air you need to be lucky with
the position of the items and you need to think quickly...but it
is still possible.
901-1000m: Four colours
Good luck on this one if you're aiming at the Perfect Air Bonus:
Basically this stage is 801-900m with a perverted gravity so you
will have to stay calm and plan ahead but still you mustn't lose
any time or otherwise you'll fall prey to the air loss.
