how do you beat "big ball"
im stuck lol
|
something i have noticed on the first bridge is that if you make the bridge base out of even-length pieces it works better.
For example on the first one, if you use 10-sizes (the "default" size, the max) the last piece will be 6 long and will be very weak, because there's 96 squares there, not 100 or 90. If you use 8-lengths you'll get better results with 12 8lengths than 9 10s and 1 6.

You either do a lifter that lifts the big ball or you make a catapult that launches the winner into the target before the big ball gets there.
Btw, I love this one for the stairs, I only used a wheel and 3 sticks for it:

lol im really bad. All my contraptions were godawful. Let me see if i can make a lifter o.O
actually lets try a launcher. It seems hard to lift that thing cus of the slope :-

ok i'm done (& bored)
i did level1 with 2800 without spending too much time trying to cut costs. 3000 is probably possible
so we have
lvl 1 - 2800
lvl 2 - 6500
lvl 3 - 6200

I won it my first time with a lifter, now I built a catapult also, look here:

You link extra wheels to get more power, thats a trick i learned from others contraptions.
Btw, lifter:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=248011

You can't? It links directly to the game and launches it with that build already done.

Add &detectflash=false to the end of whatever you want to do on that website.
The first time I beat Big Ball I sent a cart up on top of the ball that pushed it from above and then the goal fell in from above, but the lifters / catapults that are linked from here are much better.
Half the fun is dogging through it before you look at the solutions. It's great seeing how convoluted my solutions were compared to others' solutions, especially on Timing.

omg im playing that fantastic contrpation thing -_-
stuck on Big BALL FUDSFJC FARGGG
|
That Trial and Error one was amazing. I keep putting together the same sort of things without creativity.
|
oh jesus christ. The last level is rediculous. I spent like 3 hrs on that damn lvl. Tried 4 different approaches.
I think I give up too fast when it gets frustrating. If I stayed with one method, I might have got it by now lol. I will try again tomorrow.
edit: fuck. I was doing the catapult all wrong. Connected all the lines to a single wheel -_-. No wonder it was so damn waek, couldnt even throw the small ball + stopper
