Sweet. I ended up at $424 on the demo. That's pretty cool.

I've had above $600 a few times.

Some people on another forum I visit that have had above $720.

I bought the game. If anyone else here does, it'd be neat to see the levels that are made.

You didn't have to replace the original file. I just renamed it from 280907-Level8-Overheadslide.Stopper.lvl to Level 8-Overhead slide.Stopper.lvl, and it came up as a saved game.

$700 on the demo? That's amazing to the point of incredulity. You only get a total of 1250 or something to begin with. I got to $586. Level 6, "Void 2" is the obvious candidate for optimization (I currently have $72 left of $250).

Currently, I have:

$40
$132
$92
$66
$184
$72

I am certain that my level 5 is optimal. I think it should be possible to do level 4 with $80 remaining, but I can't get the balance right. Still, that's only another $14. How are people making $700?

We should have an empeg collaboration on the demo. Take the best design for each level and see where we end up.

The problem with the demo is that you can't share stuff. If you take a screenshot and show it it's only a representation. The physics change if you don't get pixel-perfect placing. ie. You wouldn't be able to replicate someone's design.

Because of the placement, it's swinging up just as the ball hits. Lowering the kinetic energy on the joint.

Anyone managed level 29 - Under and over or Extra 3 - Spiral? Or have anyone managed to upload solutions lately? The last one was uploaded May 1. Whenever I try, I get an errormessage stating that it needs to be a lvl-file.

Out of curiosity, what is everyone's total score so far, without the bonus rounds? I'm currently at 11401. In bonus, I'm at 6900 even.

Yes, and now it is. That was annoying me this morning as well.

To explain: Addictive means that it can cause an addiction. Addicting implies that it will always cause an addiction.

Since I'm not addicted to the game, despite playing it once, this implies that the correct term is "addictive".

Well, to Ricin, perhaps it WAS addicting. It certainly was to me, except now that I've beaten it, it's just about tweaking it, which isn't as much fun, but fun nonetheless.

I'm not finished yet, currently at Cascade (which I'm having problems with so far) with just under 10k.

Cool. I was wondering since noone replied if I was the only one that was hooked.

I don't know if I would say I'm hooked, but I think it's quite fun game, although I must admit I'm cheating a bit since I'm using some of the solutions to get past difficult levels...

I'm going to have to say I'm hooked, but don't have enough spare time to play as much as I want to.

All levels are completed, just not optimized.

I put up a level that I haven't been able to finish. People must like it, though. It's got a high rating.
