I got to level 17 Handling and that's as far as I go, much to technical for me smile
Only cheated when I got to four balls so I'm happy with that

Hahaha. Had a good chuckle! I feel like a proud father, having invented a monster and unleashed its design upon the world. I have spawned a slightly quite a bit better built stair walking, ball stomping, contrivance albeit not of mine own hand. {evil laughter] Now, the world must pay! I mean, play! [more muffled evil laughter followed by wracked coughing] grin

Good that you got it done boss. Now onto the last few torturous levels ahead. tongue

Yeah that four balls one was the one that I came a cropper on. Well, round about there I suppose! Definitely needed help with that one though.

That handling one is pretty simple really. Just a rotating wheel and two water sticks to hold it up, it'll squeeze under the wall thing and as soon as it hits the pink bit you're done. Ooer. laugh

Good job though Lt Swan, sir! Shame to quit now. More cheating to be done! smile


Edit
Well, that took a lot longer than I thought it was going to. But here's how I just did the Handling mission. Marvel at my handiwork. Or take a look at some real genius here!

After stealing......ahem....re-evaluating you're design (and then sticking a pointy thing on top tongue) I decided to check out some YouTube clips and now I don't think I will have to result to espionage any more!

I was too wrapped up in vehicular solutions, and had completely neglected the simplistic capabilities of the catapult! Board up your e-windows, prototyping begins tonight! grin

I can't remember all the names mate, but I think I got stuck on level 14, though SPOOK and I collaborated on 12 or 13 I think? wink

And it's not cheating, it's all part of the scientific process. After the success of my "MightyMouse" and "RamDragster", I have moved on to airborne solutions (see previous post) and, if testing goes as planned, I may release the technical specification of "The Shlongshot" this evening.

(Note: Shlongshot, MightyMouse, and RamDragster are not trademarks and may be copied at will, so as to show how not to do it).

Well, I like the sound of the RamDragster and Shlongshot. Really looking forward to seeing those in action!

Although it's just the same 'Up the stairs' level, I came up with a new defiler of stairs (not a urinating lager lout no), behold: Triumveritas.

Mighty stair walking beast that it is. crazy

A thing of beauty SPOOK, but even Noel Gallagher would not possess the sheer bravado required, to attempt crossing this wonkathon of engineering!

Some of these are just too funny!

Check out some of the rope climbers toward the end. Genius. smile

SqueezyBridge is a lovely piece of engineering and a really cool name. It would be great to have bridges called Squeezy bridge out there in the real world.

Yeah, watching those solutions video compilations on Youtube you just can't help but be impressed, can you? Some people's imagination and sheer bravado just blow my mind. So cool. Such skill. Jammy blaggards that they are!

I would love to know what kind of person these people building these amazing contraptions are. Are they a special ilk and all of a similar bent or is there some leeway in possession of general engineering genius genes?

Answers on a postcard...

I just sneezed on my laptop screen!
