I tried to do a trebuchet, but the counter weight just didn't work.  Can't get enough weight to make it swing.

 
And my first attempt at a flail-style device works out OK: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=265587

My wife did one like that.  We just kept laughing at the way it repeatedly beats the other planet.

It's apparently a popular solution to that one, and I can see why. But someone managed to build a variant that blows itself up as soon as success is achieved: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=265587

It's not visible without paying for the full version...

How much more is there in the full version.  For 10 bucks I'm pretty tempted.

I'm rather proud of a few of my designs too:

I'll admit that I've worked on some designs while listening to old EPs.

Most that are profound would choose to narrate tales of living men with nouns like sorrow, verbs like lose, and action scenes, and love – but then there are now some, and brave they be, that speak of Lunar cities raised and silver spheres and purple seas, leaving us who listen dazed. -- Irena Foygel

A couple of my best creations:
Have you published 18 and 19?
They're some of the best designs I've seen.

I checked 19.  They rated it two stars.  Some of the five stars use the same concept, but not as well.  Go figure.

birdless,

You've got evil depths I am not sure I can ever plumb.

Holy crap!

CHEATER!!!!!!
That Hack!
There's no way that should work in game physics.
Someone should notify FC and get that person banned for life... and have their pets/children taken away.

This is a lovly piece of genius- and you inspired my poor ALREADY time deprived hubby to attempt to pass as MANY levels as possible with simular ideas.

This game is evil crack.  Ah well- at least it's fun!

Overconfidence - Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.

I am not sure if Life is passing me by or running me over
