so Cresta has won with 10885 by going on the roof the whole way, and using the rubber bumpers as launchers. there's a little bit of weirdness, but i gotta call it light. (gotta change something and undo to see this one)
Overlord gets impressively close for using a timer, with 10793. this solution was very aesthetically pleasing to me.
all of the solutions just go straight over the roof, not that that isn't fun, but maybe i'll resubmit this level someday with the roof sealed.
there is a dark winner! FF has made a very crazy metal plate reactor that launches the 'dillo from the bottom of the first room clear across the level!
well done all. thanks for playing.
