That was fun. Completed it :D

Pitiful score though. I often just went for the easy route rather than trying to get a long path. My last shot was a real beauty though. Went off screen 7 times :D

Complete fluke of course :D

Now this isn't fair. I put Kevin in an orbit that would have eventually put him in his space ship...but after about 100,000 meters, he just stops. Bastards. It would've been awesome. Then I missed two more times just going straight before putting him in.

Title: my first time through
Post by: Getter Robo G on December 05, 2004, 06:03:04 pm

389,984   but to tell you the truth half were lucky first tries. Seems like the futher up in level made no difference you had equal amount of impossibly hard BS with incredible easy... I would have made it easy tehn harder all the way up consistantly not alternating...

ie:  level 24 took me 60 tries! (which gimped my score obviously), but level 25 was a one shot putt. Go figure...

it was fun first time through, I'm done

I'm up to 100,000 on level 4 - some kind of permanent orbit has occured.  I'm leaving it running....

Edit: Distance 100,000, that is, well 150,000 now...

lol without going to the link first, NONE of the posts afterwards make any sense what-so-ever.
The pictures are even more confusing.

you guys think you got weird orbits....


(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/FireCrack/Speng1.jpg)

white is all one orbit, goes back and forth between two planets, doesnt go around either.


and this one will result in a good score (dark blue), the shape of the orbit is turning clockwise

nowhere near my record from 2-3 years ago, tho. then I got really lucky at level 25 and got a really good orbit at the first try... this time it was on level 6.
