I tested too - with grotesque amounts of metalbars supported with obscene sized rocket. It seems undestructable (I had to say "hmm!"). I agree that the beginning and the end of the map is connected in a way that everything easely disturbs everything. But still I think the map is good. Interesting and in the same time simple and just difficult enough.

I guess it's just all the builtin levels with winning solutions that break stuff rather than following the level's intention that made me wary. But it is true that they mostly didn't have anchor points between all points, only some.

Point noted for next time I win one :D

The placement of the portal SUCKS too :)

haha, just kidding there of course! But it is in "just" the right spot where I can't get a cheap catcher (by my own standards anyway).

Something tells me you didn't just arbitrarily place it like that either you evil, evil man! :mrgreen:

I didn't go to THAT much trouble placing it, in that there wasn't any particular thing I tried to make it just out of reach of. But it wasn't placed completely without thought either.

Ive finally got past the elusive 2700 mark without using the force. I think its a nice unique solution that will have applications in a lot of other levels.

Thats very nice! Im very exited to see how people cope with this nightmare. I took a look at the zipfile from #6, and from what I saw, there is plenty enough insanity among folks here to entertain me for a pretty long time...

I'll send in my solutions soon (as I'm leaving early tomorrow morning). I don't think I'll win any prizes this time around, but I still built a respectable slightly-above-2700 solution. (And a slightly-above-2800 one with Force)

Just a reminder that you have about 25 hours to send your solutions in.

I may be a little late getting the results thread up, but the cutoff is still 12PM PDT tomorrow, 24:45 from the time of this post.

Also to Tim McSweeney: I received an email from you with no attachment, you will need to send it again. Tried replying, but I didn't get an update from you, posting here in case you haven't seen my email either.

There are just over 3 hours remaining to send in your entries. I am going to have to step out about 15 minutes past the deadline, but I'm going to start putting together the winners early and try to get it posted right after the deadline, otherwise it may be several hours later.

Last minute entries may derail that plan, but don't let that stop you from sending them. Good luck!

Also, I have replied to every entry sent to me acknowledging receipt. If you sent one and didn't get a response, I didn't get it. Send it again.

I certainly don't mind, they will all be posted publically anyway.

You have about 15 minutes to get me any last minute entries. And barring such, I will have the results thread posted in about 20 minutes. It's already typed up, just waiting to see if anyone sneaks another entry in.
