Fun game

tanks for the links. I managed to get to one, where there was a gap, and it looked like you had to somehow push the large round ball into the gap to fill it up, and slowly get over there...couldnt figure it out though..

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1413011 The Mars One. Let me know if you can figure out level 13 (Big Ball)

Trent Steel · Post by **Trent Steel** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:40 pm

I probably made this a lot more complicated than it has to be, but it works.

WOW, you're my HERO! I never would've thought there's be a way to get the object to the goal before the ball fell. I kept thinking you had to build something to crawl up on the ball and roll it away. You're a genius. Now thanks to your generous genius I can waste time with the next level!

CGMark · Post by **CGMark** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:45 am

I was trying to make something to scoot under the ball. I almost had it, but couldnt get enough movement to get the ball up.

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 12:26 pm

This is a blast.

Here's one I'm not proud of making, but it cracks me up to see it work.

I got ill watching that one work. It's like some evolutionary reject that manages to survive despite its obvious flaws. One can only hope some predator will swoop down and put it out of its (and our) misery.

That, and it hadn't occurred to me to use free-standing wooden rods.

Thanks!

I managed to get the next one, "Four Balls", but cannot get any after that.

I know...isn't it the most ridiculous thing to try? I like how it wrecks everything behind it before getting some forward momentum.

Oh yeah?

It will suck countless seconds of your time. Well, you could count them, if you were so inclined.

Austin · Post by **Austin** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 1:49 pm

I didn't realize you could move the starting block.

Fun one I did. I made it through most of the levels but never signed up until late so I couldn't save my designs.

Just checked out the ones you guys did... very nice, very smooth.

Down Under

Awash (GASP!)

Too many parts on yours. Try this one.

Mr Bubbles · Post by **Mr Bubbles** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:18 am

Got fairly far, but got stuck on Back and Forth.

itaiyo · Post by **itaiyo** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:34 am

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1472982 Tube! For the first time in many levels I figured this one out for myself without looking at anyone else's design. (Well I did it by myself for Down Under, too, but that took hours of tweaking a sub-par design http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1473044 ) This is a fun game. Thank GOD other people can (and do) link their designs so you can get ideas and cheat past levels where you're stuck.

Mr Bubbles · Post by **Mr Bubbles** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:54 am

ok finally got it.. took forever to tweek it. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1473587" target="_blank

CGMark · Post by **CGMark** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:12 pm

wow MAJOR kudos on that last one, for sure.

Big Ball - It works, but soooooo not in the manner I intended...

I love how you can accomplish the goals in such wildly different ways

holy crap, this is my 8 yr old sons second attempt at Mission Mars.. wow

I am ashamed of the ring I built around the planet to just throw the arm out and intersect...
