I had 4 years to get ready for the last olympics - give us 4 days this time. :)


Agreed. I often have days where I don't get a chance to play the game. I intend to try something light, although I am not very good with light launchers. With some of the light launchers I've seen from you guys, I'm surprised someone hasn't sloved it already.
I will say I've solved it dark quite easily, as V4nKw15h said.

Okay, well it's nice to see others are giving it a go.

I hope the basic launcher I posted gives everyone enough to keep them interested. I know from personal experience that if I get nowhere with a level after playing it for an hour I get bored. Mikee7 PM'd me and said he had the same problem with this level so the basic launcher is there to kickstart those that are struggling to even get started.

And don't underestimate that launcher. I think it is capable of completing this level if tweaked just right. We will know better as the week goes on if it's the best core concept for a launcher or if there are better ways to do this level. Either way, I don't think I spoiled the fun of this level by posting it. That's what I started with and I think I've tweaked that launcher for over 5+ hours and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm a little disappointed by the lack of competition in the B league too :(

I guess it's too hard or something.


I'm afraid, for the most players, yes it is...It looks like not so many players like tweaking :?
Today i managed to work on this a little and reached 8+ (with the uploaded launcer of course :oops: )
...but solving?! That would be very tweaky...

Hey that's great Mikee. 8+ is a great score. There are still 2-3 days left in this competition so I hope you find some more time to push it.

When I was tweaking it, I was getting an extra 0.5 to 1 distance for each 30 minutes to an hour.

So, who can get to 9?

One day left on this competition and unfortunately it didn't prove to be anything like as popular as I hoped.

If you have tried this one please send in your best result. Nobody completed it light, so don't worry about that. Whoever gets it the furthest up the ramp with a light solution will host the next competition.

Oh, and I've only had one dark solution which surprises me too. So send those dark solutions in if you have them.

Hehe, yeah, don't worry about that steven. If you weren't having trouble to make it move you would be a freak of nature (considering how new to the game you are).

This level requires a great deal of experience of AR to even know where to start. Even some of the best players simply don't have the patience to play this one.

Give yourself time to play a few A league competitions first. It won't take long before a level like this one is more a case of "can't be bothered" than "how the f%&k?". Hehe.

I'm also sure the next B league will not be as hard as this. Whoever wins this one will want to give everyone something a little easier. We should find out tomorrow when the competition ends.
