Welcome to the 72nd AR2 B contest "Fat Rainbow"

AR2 Version 2.1.2 Beta is used, please make sure you use the correct version!
If you download this level, please submit your solution even if you don't think it's very good. You'll help us keep the forum alive and we might be able to help you become a better player!

The prices of some materials are changed.

Special Rules:

1) The goal of competition is to earn as much points as possible.
2) You gain one point for each 'dillo that escaped through the portal of it's own color (except for classic 'dillo and portal of course). If the 'dillo escapes through other portal it won't bring you points.
3) Additionally you gain 4 points for every escaped set of four 'dillos (red, purple, green, yellow) as long as they escape through corresponding portals.
4) In case of a tie cheapest solutions wins
5) You can get level failed screen
6) You can go overbudget

Better explanations of point counting from markmadras:

So, for all 8 red Dillo's you get 8 points and nothing more.

You only get extra points for every complete set of the Dillo's, one of each, red, purple, green & yellow giving you 4 points more.

If you get the level to complete using all the Dillo's you get 32 points (one for each Dillo) and a 32 point bonus for 8 sets of Dillo's = 64.

Does the level have to be completed in order to score points? For example I let all red dillos exit through the red portal, so i get 8+4 points, but all the other dillos fall down (and well yes, it gets the level failed sign). Does that count?

As I understand it. The level does not need to complete or we would all have to get all of the Dillo's which would make the contest all about the price only. You get 1 point for each Dillo that leaves through its own portal (the yellow Dillo must leave through the blue portal)

So, for all 8 red Dillo's you get 8 points and nothing more.

You only get extra points for every complete set of the Dillo's, one of each, red, purple, green & yellow giving you 4 points more.

If you get the level to complete using all the Dillo's you get 32 points (one for each Dillo) and a 32 point bonus for 8 sets of Dillo's = 64.

Hope this helps and I am sure Unw will correct me if I have got it wrong.

I have made a start on this so will put in a bid of 10+ :lms:

I hope I will have time to complete it
