You save those last 6$, cool! Congatz! :D

Btw, vertical rope trick is easy, but works only from right side.

yea found out how to do it start outside the level but the node need to be right up to the levels edge to work .You gave me the info needed to do the level :D NO SWING :D

I know, that shouldn't give this info, but in such way - more fun. :D
Everybody use two clothes for red dillo, but it's possible to use one. It can move it a bit and then goes through cloth and be used as catcher and 1968 in theory, because hard to tweak other parts.

It is more fun and that's what it's all about . :D .My opinion is 8 could be saved at the top by getting the grey to bounce on a node and then hit the red ball into the tunnel .It took me over two hours just to get the cloth in the portal in the right place to complete the task so to get a scrap from above to land correctly is less possible than my 8 point gain above :D .
All just a bit of fun and theoretical :D

Amazing to see such neat solutions everywhere.
Lovely timing of the two winning most entries.

I gave up trying to use a cloth to bounce red, because it always broke one of the penalty redlines.
(Shakes head in disbelief that everyone else got it to work. :cry: )

Getting a cloth to pass through a redline and not break the redline seems doubtful. I agree that it could be pushed through if no cloth was prestressed.
But are you sure it is still theoretically possible, with the initial tension in the red lines?
And, even if it can happen, getting it to land in the right place to make the catcher seems even more unlikely. I'd agree with Mark_man that we don't have enough resolution to control it well enough (limited to pixel-sized position increments).

And, it looks like just that one pixel perfect position of the grey deflector gives it a tweaky kick, to push grey further than usual.
Grey tended to go right, so that should have been the easier side to get it to.
Proves again that initial overlaps on dillos can generate some unpredictable and inconsistent behaviour?

Most of the time I spend on trying it. Possible? Yes! But in 9/10 cases only half of cloth.

Thanks for the confirmation.
So, yes, theoretically definitely possible to achieve the result.

If the red dillo could be controlled well enough:
- to get the right sideways nudge from the cloth... (with some cloth passing through)
- to be hit by grey perfectly enough....
- to almost balance on the portal node,
- with the cloth remnant well enough placed and sufficient to hold him there long enough.....

So absolutely theoretically possible. But I don't think any of us are mad (crazy) enough to spend the time trying! :lol:
(I still suspect that finding these perfect conditions requires finer positioning of the components than the pixel resolution permits.)
