It's insane what some people can come up with, and really neat to see the solutions that when started take a fraction of the time that your try did.

I do wish they would change the big \"Victory\" cloud that covers up everything just as it was getting interesting.

Its really awesome to see some of these designs. I wasn't really trying to be creative and was going more for function than form.

Thanks Lothar I've been chewing not this for a couple days. Now I have some hope. I've been thinking of using a catapult system. I'll see what I can come up with. :)

Oh SWEET!

I've only got failures to report. :(

first: Wrong Way Walker
This is an utter and complete, EPIC fail. But its an INTERESTING fail, and I'm still kinda proud of it.

second: Dancing Fail
Another attempt at creating a walker and what I got was a chaotic dancer that STILL can't get up the steps. Again, interesting, but still a FAIL. :)

took me a while to get the spinning wheels down just right...

I worked for quite a while on a ball and bat style setup...toss the ball in the air, and a swinging bat hits it into the goal...timing is everything :)

ps--here's my solution to the down under:

has anyone bought the full game?
Does it come with more standard levels, as opposed to user made levels?

Nice work on the tube. I kept trying to devise a way to throw it up there. It never occurred to me to build a crawler. Which is funny because for most of the levels my solution has been to throw more wheels at the problem. :D

it was down for a day I think...from what I've read on their forums, there are some extra lvls in addition to the player made ones, and more content to come.

$10 seems worth it...wish there were another 20 lvls or something to play and I wouldnt even hesitate.
