Armadillo Run

it runs slow on my radeon 9800 pro ..

i can play oblivion but i can't play this :D

Bart: works fine for me on a radeon 9600 :)

I bought this game about a week ago, and keep going back to play around with the levels, very good game and well recommended.

The levels in the demo are very hard to do anything creative with, the levels in the full game are much more open to different solutions.

*claps*

very cool game, i love how badly things can go wrong, and that it will show you the forces at work.

This could be the best game ever made. Well worth the money.

It's amazing! :D

Fun game. I had $490 left after the first 6 levels.

So far my best is $584 left after the first 6 levels. My favorite level was Drop, which only cost me $12 to complete!

awesome game. can't wait to buy the full version.

my first 6 level totals are not that high yet, but i finished level 6 spending only $4

This kicked Ass! like the leetle train bridge builder thing that was doing the rounds in 2000, but pretty, and with more catapults. its a Lot of fun using deeply wrong methods to achieve your goal.

Rocket propelled hot air-balloons?

Giant slingshots?

Yes please and thankya. Got my money after about 5 minutes :)

What a wonderful game. The first six levels were simplistic and easy, but I had a surprising amount of fun going back and optimizing. Right now I have $524 left (and am proud of my $4 spent on level 6 like mikey). It's been so long since I actually bought a game, but this one has me very tempted. Thanks, Jay!

I Cant Do The Last Level! :( nooo

Very nice game. I've never bought a game over the internet before but I had to get this one. I especially like the slow motion and 1st person view you can see on the machine testing.
How do you download and play the levels off the website? I've been able to download them but I can't figure out how to play them.

Woohoo! I managed to save 700 in first 6 demo levels.

Reminds me of the bridge builder thing the military uses as a high school competition, we did it a few years ago. Anyone know the name?

When you are saying level six with only $4, are you talking about Void 2? Because I haven't been able to spend remotely close to that amount. And I don't seem to be able to do anything for just $4, the smallest piece of rope I can get going costs $6, and a little piece of rope can't get the ball to jump to the end, and stay there for 5 seconds ;)

I managed to save up $606 for the six levels though, which I'm quite happy with.

Wow, words cannot describe how addicting this is. I spent about 5 hours on demo and went straight for my hidden cash pile. I purchaced the full game for just a tenner and believe I made a great choice. I must say some things that people made (levels that I downloaded) seemed quite cool. For instance you can make (in full version(in editor)) a anchor point with bars around it. Do that twice, put cloth around it, with a rocket inside the wheel and... tadar. A pully system thing. The creativity of this game makes it uneque. If anyone has full game and has compleated level 31, Hill 2 - can you post an immage or file I can download please - ThankYou.
Keep up the site Jay. From K.

Khrisper -

Don't have an image to post for you, but for Level 31, I put a metal link on the top of the ramp, cloth links on the sides and top of the armadillo. The side cloth links are connected to the rocket. I have rope connecting the ends of the metal link on the top of the ramp to the ends of the rocket as well. On the other end of the ramp, I have two ropes situated on the two points directly left of the furthest axle point. Connected to the two ropes, I have a metal link hanging below the ramp. From the metal link I have two links of cloth with the second link connecting up the axle point. You may have to adjust the length of some things - I got it to work with only about $2 left on the budget. Good luck.

Um. I seem to be stuck on level 16 - Trigger. I cruised all the way here and now I seem to be having some kind of mental block. Since there are no level solutions for it, I can only assume that I'm missing something obvious. Any guidance? Thanks in advance...

Dr Neptar: Level 16 just requires a little rope trick and a standard platform. This screenshot may not be the best solution, but it works. :-)

If you are tempted to buy this game, don't. The levels on the demo are a lot of fun, but they just get ridiculous pretty fast. Most of them are just frustrating trial and error-fests, hoping the physics will go your way for once, instead of having some kind of cohesive plan. When you start looking at the solutions people have posted you realize the tens of hours per level they must have spent tweaking an inch here and inch there hoping that some off-the-wall plan will work this time and they can get past this level. That's not fun.

In other words, this is not the 3D/modern version of The Incredible Machine you have been looking for, keep searching.

What the heck are you talking about??????
Please tell me what is not fun about using rockets and sprinngs to create a crazy contraption to send a rolled up armadillo through???????? Anyway, even if you do get stuck, it's still fun just to mess around.

Who can do level 5 in less than £20??
You do it like this:

Put a singe metal plate from the anchor
point directly below the portal, and join to
the one silightly to the right and up(its
the same two points that the shorter piece
of cloth is attached to)

Oliver, I can do it with $188 left.

Put a small cloth peice above the premade and hit go.

DAMN!!!!!!! Beaten by *two* dollars.

Interesting never ending contest for Armadillo Run. These guys are good!

BTW: I love this game

Ignore AlexH. This game is brilliant! Most levels have an easy solution you can make, but you can do them in any way you can imagine! Some are extremely hard (like the first extra level), but the feeling you get for making a spectacular little machine is immense. Buy this now!

I downloaded the level megadrop (like drop but with two rockets attached to the armadillo) and found it too easy, so I put 2 more rockets onto it. Then another 2. Then it got quite interesting...

I'm proud of my solution of lvl 43 - Cascade.

You can download it at the level solutions link.

It's called "Level 43 - Cascade (Adr - You must see this!)"

i am stuck on void 2 can someone post a solution please?

Void 2....

Bridge across from left to right low points
Rope down from high point to intersect the middle of the bridge.
(cut and rebuild bridge to fix it to the rope)
If you do the dimensions right the armadillo should settle in the dip to the right of the rope. If not then just put a sheet up from the right hand point.... etcetc.

Demo complete with $704 remaining :)

Thanks Jay

grrrrrr...

You people kept me looking for a $4 solution to Level 6 for hours. Hours!

Then I find out it's actually LEVEL 5 (Drop) that is the $4 solution!

grrrrrrr....

does any1 know how to get past lev 7??

thanks in advance! :)

Love the game; Makes me a kid playing with
lego all over again.
$712 saved for the demo 6 levels

wow great game.
i thought it would be worth the money but i dont really trust the internet that much. i would still buy it but its one of those games where you have more fun making your own levels rather than finishing the game( but i usually get bored making things that take ages to work )
from the demo i could see different types of mechanisms used and the laws of physisc or something like that. anyways instead of buying im just gonna download it off limewire it may take a while but its better than downloading

I can only get $684 saved for the 6 levels. $712 is awesome.

I think this could be the best game ever...I downloaded it at work about 4 yesterday afternoon, spent the night playing it and by 7 this eve I got to level 49. I'm saving the last one till the morning. The level editor and home made levels are what make this game truely great.

I'm struggling on Level 20 Scoop..

Ace game though

Drop in 10 dollars is ok?

Finished all 6 demo levels with 736 left...BEAT that Luke!!!

ugh ive tried and triedbut i CANNOT do level 17 its solid

Outf'ngstanging game. The thinking person's tinker toys in cyberspace.

P.S.
I had $3854 after level six.
I'm at level 29 a tough one...the rocket sled keeps smashing all my structures.

P.P.S.

Make that 982 after the level six tutorial.

If there are any levels that you cannot complete, go to the Armadillo run website and go to the level solutions section.

Tip: Choose a middle-range priced one (not cheapest and not most expencive) so that you can do it easier (whats the point of cheating if you still can't do it?)

$728.

I just wish that I had the full version.=(

I think the game is
the best!!! :D

I'm having a bit of trouble though...:(

this game kicks butt i played this game all day and all night

LEVEL 6: use metal to build a bridge connecting the armadillo to the goal and use the rest of your money to get 2 ropes from the top to the middle 2 nodes. press play.

Anyone have any idea as to how you get through lvl 19? It is very frustrating.

I bought this game, and for some reason, Armadillo is a white ball and most of the buttons on the bottom aren't visible. Is there anything I can do to return it to its original state?

I'm officially impressed with the engine.

Superslash, what an awesome video! Simply amazing!!!

dang, that engine is VERY cool! :) I hope it will run on windows vista though.

Hehe, love this game. Still playing it. (refer to comments by 'Khrisper' - thats me)
