Hi everyone thanks for giving this a try .
I took the Idea from a early level, then after posting this level I tried to complete it using the higher portals this turned out to be very tricky .
So I went back to the original and downloaded the solutions and this told me everything I needed to know.No one from that competition managed the higher portals also :oops: .
we have a draw for first place .
Arunion/KuzyaHG both with 1780 :lms:
followed very closely by bythelee with 1778
I managed a poc of 1808 and a tweak of bythelee 1818
Thanks for playing

Darn it - you mean I was so focused on try to reach the upper portals, I missed a winning tweak to be pipped by $2? (where's the tantrum emote?) :x

I had great fun building the three blue portal solutions, though. :D
It was clear none were going to be competitive, but it was still a nice challenge.

It might have worked well if gravity had been reduced to make it easier to get structure that high beyond the building frame. (and less dillo starting overlap - achieving the same height in the reduced gravity).

Then again, three competitors covered by $2 is perhaps the closest finish I can remember. Well done guys! :lms:

PS looks like the third blue solution is missing from the rar - a rocket powered tower.
I also had some other redfails, like tethered rocket lifters, but nothing even came close to solving.

PS2 - boosting my solution to 1808 by using the plate "obstacle remover" is easy enough. You would not believe how much time I tried to get that to work, and concluded it wasn't possible. :oops: Doh!
However, the 1818 tweak is highly "trickster-y" - I doubt I'd have found that.

It was still a good challenge. I am not good at thinking of lifting things. Either the dillo or any of the materials. So it's nice to see how it's done :D

if KuzyaHG wants to post a level I'd be happy to accept "second" place ^^

nice tweaks!
