Cresta, next time give us the budget 999999 and make the solution for $6 and demand to raise score from $1 with bid +$1 per day. Then it is possible to involve many players. It's a delirium! :x

1860+ :dms:
1820+ :lms:

and for each +$1000

I know you are not stupid and you understand that's not what I mean...
The concept is neat: contests last 4-5 days.
If you have so much spare time that you can max your solution after a couple of hours the level is posted, well, many others can't.
Now, we can make the levels lasting 1 day and making 365 contest in a year, in which everyone partecipate only the competition he can (people like you to everyone, others, like the most of us, one every 3 or 4), or, other possibility, you can wait raising so much.
I don't think it's difficoult. Moreover, considering that for the last 3 days (on 4) scores raise up of 10-20$, it seems much more bright to distribuite your raising during the 4 days of the contest (and not "from $1 with bid +$1 per day").

A shame this has been rushed again. If this continues I think I may stop participating, it takes all the fun out of the game :( .

I also notice that this has only been downloaded 8 times, very low, possibly because the score is already so high that no one else will take part :x
