The rules for this contest:

1) The goal is to build a flying machine, that will pass armadillo to the moon. The level must be completed.
2) You are not allowed to construct anything outside the red zone (except area inside the moon).
3) It is not allowed to touch the walls with any part of rocket or dillo.
4) Cheapest rocket wins.

Good luck and have fun!

nice one exactly what i was thinkin

do you have to finnish the level or just shoot past the moon and can you biuld things on the moon i love it

Yay, thanks! I'm glad that you like it.
Yes, you must finish the level. And you can build things (kind of dock for the rocket) inside the moon too. I'll fix it in the rules now.

That's hard if I can't build anything outside the red area and can't touch the walls, but I'll try it.

Too hard, i can't afford to spend more then 1 hour for one level:( Maybe next time:)

Psychologically, a good example of sadism for the developer, masochism for those who enjoyed the level and bloody lucky bastard for the one that eventually will win it.

I'm pretty sure i could do it in under an hour

Took me 23 minutes to get the dillo to the portal

Looks like lots of timers-work...

Lol my proof of concept used 9 timers and 5 rockets

Hmm... Actually, I've just finished building Proof-o-concept, and it wasn't boring and tweaky at all. Just I've found good concept for it, everything was nice and I enjoyed a lot while was playing this level.
From other side, maybe I'm masochist, who knows?

I've read the rules again and I want to notify that "Cheapest rocket wins" doesn't mean that you need to minimize amount of rockets in your solution, but money

If I have a rocket with multiple stages, and as my dillo-naut goes throught the course, the stages are ejected to change the mass and angle of flight, does this count as not following the rule that you can not touch the walls?

the ejected stages crash into the wall and burn, but my main dillo-rocket stays in the center and doesnt touch the wall.

Just needed a clarification. Thanks.

Yes, it is absolutely ok with rules
