Those fly traps are particularly fond of me, it seemed. WickedArtist: I think he needs a proper elf. WickedArtist: A christmas elf! Tasra: Any sort of elf that actually smiles ;o Gasp!

Posted: 14 Dec 2007 09:30 PM well... after about 15 minutes, I got up to 1,073 ft. (and a low of 11 ft. :P) Now I'm wondering what your highest altitude is. (gotta watch the little yellow altitude indicator) Got one of mine up to 120 some-odd feet. It's rather amusing how completely random it is... and yet, I'm still able to exactly hop the kitten right over about three or four explosives, missing them by a hair... almost every time I shoot.

Posted: 15 Dec 2007 01:20 AM 1,143! How do you do it? I find that on average I get farther distances if I set the cannon at 10 degrees and go for maximum blast.

Posted: 15 Dec 2007 05:45 AM I just go with a 45 degree angle, figuring that the game doesn't account for wind resistance or anything along those lines, and give max blast. Occasionally I'll depress the muzzle a little bit down to 30 just for a flatter shot, but I've had best results with the 45 degree angle, including a max height of 182.  Frimble Joined: 19 Jul 2007 Total Posts: 260 Send PM   Re: 1014 feet - can you do better? Posted: 15 Dec 2007 06:37 AM yeah... I seem to get the best results with a 10 degree angle and hope for the best... *shrugs* Although a 45 degree angle should give the greatest distance before the kitten hits the ground, a 10 degree angle should maximise both the number of novelty obstacles encountered and the benefit gained from explosives. On the other hand this should result in very varied results, as some of the obstacles decrease the total distance. Ed. Using this method: 1289 feat... Five attempts later... make that 2043 feat!
