I started doing this and next time I looked at the time 2 hours had gone, totally addictive. My best is 90%

These guys have plants in my home town. Really great, innovative company. The kind of thinking the auto industry really needs more of. Here's hoping they continue to be successful.

Fun, but they should really let you design a few base cars, plugin the genetic algorithm and let it go

can anyone get 100%? my top score is 90

I got 97% on 'Particle Pro'

Got 100% 15 seconds, 15 coconuts http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=carlt3.jpg

did some small changes in driving... 12 seconds http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=topscoreuz9.jpg

Yea, large tires are the secret, I got 10 seconds with this:

I can't help but wonder how fast it's possible to get to the end. I think I can shave a few fractions of a second from my time but it starts being a question of bouncing correctly. Also that little nub in the center keeps things from rolling around as much which helps stability but it's still easy to flip. (ect)

PS: I did get one to do 12 seconds to the end without complex driving just holding right arrow.

I ditched cars for a one wheeled sled and managed to get 93% in 20 seconds

it doesn't load for me, just a blank screen, what do I need to do?

refresh - it did that for me too

awesome!
