I was trying to make a "mole" that would dig his way under the avalanche level. I ended up with something better.

Zoom out a step on this, and then watch it for a few minutes (until the mole is gone...):

Haha!
I was thinking that those little nose lurches were odd.
The end was surprising!

Oh and I like the ears, nice touch.

Yes the catapults are great fun!

I wanted to do a different solution for Unpossible:

That last _pixel_ took forever to tweak into the goal.

nice one.

after checking out the forums there and seeing others solutions, i feel slightly retarded. there are some insanely creative solutions...

gah!

[Andromeda]

Hey Suma, could you come up with another level to play ?
i'd pay for this game, but i dont have paypal ....

plus the last one was annoyingly fun ...

Oh god ... POST 666 ....... about damn time ...


*pops party balloon ....*


and your springy mole contraption ..
some people actually used that glitch to complete a stage.

and this

burnout: I know what you mean. You can play through all 20 levels and not even use most of the really interesting machine techniques, like slings, catapults, tracks, etc. Good replay value.

andromeda: Here are the only other free levels:

New01 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=160813
New02 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=47735
New03 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=182093
New04 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=63080
New05 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=55665
New06 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=49221
New07 - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=49073

They were from beta-testing, and happened to be left in there. New04 is the level I posted on the previous page.

If you want a challenge, beat New01 using no powered wheels (ie. a "green" or "gravity games" solution). That'll keep you busy.

I registered it yesterday. I figured I'd already got $10 of value out of it, and wanted to try some of the multi-player challenges like Sumo Arena. BTW, I don't think you need a PP account -- the PP site should let you pay directly with a VISA card or a card like that.

Re the bug: I've seen lots of contraptions go crazy, but I don't know what triggers it. Be fun if it was controllable.

Just testing out another solution.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=326831

[Ranath]

my simplest solution so far

[Freddio]

Here's my solution:

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=307360

It takes a long time to run. Something like 30 minutes. But it does eventually get there.

I haven't seen any other green solutions for that level.

--

I just did an entry for the "juggling" challenge, where the aim is to make a machine that "juggles" two or more balls.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=353376 (2 balls)
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=353410 (3 balls)

You can't construct something precise enough to create perfectly repeatable actions, so eventually the balls always knock together and throw it out of whack.

--

I also entered a "weight lifter" for the Olympics challenge:

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=340592

I think it might beat the current winner by about half a pixel.

(oh, I just realized you won't be able to see those last three without the reg'd version)

[Sumaleth]

Oh, juggling is on one of those New maps.

oh, didn't notice there was a scenario called u-turn as well.

here's my 5 min solution to it

[Sumaleth]

There was a mini-competition to design a 21st level. They should have gone with something much more difficult IMO.

I did an "infinite loop" for it:

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=818714

And one going the other way, which wasn't as easy:

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=816836

I've seen much better loopers though.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still really into the game. Particularly the nearly-impossible levels; the ones that really get the brain materials flapping.

Keep an eye out for a guy named Entity on the forum. You'll need the registered version to view most of his stuff, but he's like a Fantastic-Contraptions savant. Imagine someone who is unbelievably good at the game, and then multiply by himself.
