Haha, Ioncorpse.
I've just spent 2 minutes trying to explain what I meant by flip, but everytime I tried I basically told you how to do this level cheap. I want to give a tip without giving too much away. There is still nearly 2 days left, but I'd like to get more people moving in the right direction, so...
Here is the best I came up with:
Most of the AR1 launchers flip the dillo off the end of a fast rotating metal plate. In AR1 we used dark force to rotate that plate. Here we can make a metal plate rotate extremely fast (when we need it) using cheap tension and ?????
I still see no real need for a tweaky bounce. I completely rebuilt my POC in 7 minutes with no special bouncing. But I haven't seen your solution yet so I don't know if you have found a bounce that saves money. I assume you mean bouncing it high off an anchor point. I didn't need to do that.
I want to say more but I don't want to give too much away too early. I think I've already said more than I should, but if I can get everyone enjoying the level I think that is the most important thing.
I honestly expected everyone to find this much easier than they have, and I was worried that we would have identical winning solutions. I guess it will take a little longer for everyone to get used to using the cheaper materials and what can be done with them. My POC looks nothing like any winning AR1 solution ever did.
