I'm with you Moses. I've run all the way through the game, but now going back and trying to simplify these.

These aren't simple but I'm happy with them.

Down under:

Unpossible:

This level took me forever... Kept trying to scoop up the ball and then realized I could create TWO machines.

How's this one for UGLY but effective?

..and HANDLING, the one that took me the longest.

Moses--That just flat out rocks!!

I am way over my head with the likes of youse guys.
