What about rhat bonus target?

lol. I put bonus*, because I was very tired when I made the level and couldnt think of something good.

here some options.
*Double your score
*200 points
*other options people can think of
maybe there could be a poll?


Edit: @ Drago ...70+ Light? you are starting to get pretty high!

*You lose.

This thing is a bitch to tweak!

Drago! How dare you!

99+

Something strange happened. I was making a catcher and used some rope instead of cloth to make it cheaper (lol). When the sim started, the rope was invisible!!!

Is there a maximum amount of material rope that can be placed in a level? Is all of the rope you place after that also invisible? odd.

Edit: 99 wooo! Have you gotten any of the 50's yet? People have some catching up to do!

Check. Email.

And that is the only rope piece I placed...

I should expiriment. Too lazy.

Ok, I was playing around making a proof of concept solution and I have managed to get one of the 100 targets Light.

I havent been able to get the bonus yet though, lol. I dont know what bonus it is going to be. I think multiply by final score by 1.5 seems fair. It will make it so that a person who gets all of the small targets will have a similar score to some one who gets big targets*1.5.
Also, the bonus doesnt have tension, so you have to smack it pretty hard to break it. 1.5 isnt a large incentive, but a good bonus.

I can't even imagine how to get a 100...

Small targets have been racking up points! Even if you dont get the 100, if you can get the ball high enough, it might get a 50 or some 25's on the way down.

Is anyone else playing this besides Drago?

Most people don't have computers good enough to play levels like this. It lags like crazy before I build anything and a ton of tensioned elastic would just make it worse. It'd take me forever to build anything that works

. I didnt realize. My comp is not amazing, but good enough I guess.

I will admit that my comp lags a bit with all the elastic added in the level. but I will say that elastic isnt always the best choice in material... hint hint.

Price isnt a factor in this contest so you could use rubber or superdark metal just as long as you dont go over budget.

Ive got a killer proof of concept that I wish some one would beat. Oh well. I guess I learned to make a simple level next time.
