Welcome to the 317th AR2 A contest: Broken Oblong

A simple to complete challenge, that hopefully proves interesting to spend less on. Though I think what I imagine is wildly incorrect :D

Some prices have been changed.

Good luck, and have fun.


AR2 Version 2.1.3 Beta is used, make sure you use the correct version.

If you download this level please submit your solution even if you think it's not good. You help us keep the forum alive and we might be able to help you become a better player.

Apologies for the delay on posting the level. I ended up talking to a friend for several hours who I have not talked to more than once over the last three years. So I ended up forgetting everything I had planned for the day... :oops:
Hopefully the level is decent despite that distraction.

Nice I love it when I bump into a old friend and hit it off like we never split :D

Glad to hear it.....

Meanwhile, the level promises to be a nice challenge.
I have a slight fear we're all going to build the same solution, but it's still going to be a good one.

Hmmmm, now that I've tried to build the "obvious" solution, which fails, I have to admit it's not that obvious. :oops:

Still no finish for me.... :(

I know what I want to do with two different solutions.
But I can't get either of them to finish. :(

Still plenty of time, thankfully. :)

I'm still failing to get anything to work.

I'm hoping for something like 1750 from what I've got so far, but had initial dreams of breaching 1800....

Time to start bludgeoning and spending. :(

Well, it wasn't a method I had considered at the start.

But after still failing to sort the first two methods, I can now say:

1850+ :?
