First few levels are easy, but this is actually a pretty fun game!

Completed it a while back, it's good to see what other's have done to complete each level.

Some of them are really great - I like the Mission to Mars one. Man, I have done no work today since discovering this game! :smt026

Seriously - this one is dangerous! It lures you in with a few easy levels then you're hooked! I'm stuck at level 17 at the moment...... :D

Still stuck on 17? Remind me again, what was 17?

EDIT: Just gone to the site now to check, 17 is easy (when you know how) - the clue is in the title.

I have the basics of a design - just need to tweak, but am trying to avoid that site and actually do some work today!

Tonight, I have the luxury of abso-frickin-lutely nothing to do, at all.

For 17, you have 2 options really, spin, or yank backwards.

Level 20 did my head in for ages!

Oh really? :D

Now have a look through "other players designs" for level 21. Look for "Awash U-turn" - I think it's the 3rd page of designs. It's not another design, but a players re-design of level 21.

I had to go back to Awash & redesign my work to make it past Awash U-turn.

Yep. Level 21 was easy compared to Unpossible. Little disappointed though buying the full game there are no more official levels - just the players levels

Oh :(

So let me get this right, you bought the full version and there are no more/new levels? ... so what is the benefit (to the consumer) of paying for it?? :scratch:

There are new levels, only they are designed by the players rather than the game makers. Besides, even if I don't play it anymore, I enjoyed it a lot and I think that they should get $10 for that alone!

Indeed, they deserve the $10 ... but its a bit off that you don't get any more official levels ... are any of the user levels any good?

Awash U-turn is a corker. Took me a long while to get that one nailled. Can't say I've had chance to look at any others yet, too busy last night. Damn work getting in the way. :(

Some of them are just plain ridiculous, but there is a rating system so you weed out the wheat from the chaff
