After 5 minutes, I got 9.919meters

There's a bonus section way off to the right...

tabletguy · « **Reply #1 on:** January 01, 2008, 03:16 AM »

OK... The bonus section is at 10 meters, and goes out the window. At that point, it's quite high in the air, and goes a ways.

67.088 meters, which was still ranked about 41201. I wonder what the farthest is?

Put the plane as high and as far left as it can go. Then take the mouse out of the game and move it around the page to the other side of the screen. Put the mouse back in the game about 2/3 down.

I got to 89m but I'm not sure how
It's a killer getting the damn thing out the window even..I find...
you gotta throw it so it goes high but misses the fan, and pray, or something

and now it's started doing summersaults when it goes out the window...you can make it speed up then for a short while funny enough

Seems like you have to throw blind (click and drag immediately) to hit the window.

Does seem rather addictive...

Hahah, that worked. Tore my old record up, not sure if thats cheating or just finding a game design flaw.

new best: ~~113.438m rank: 13174~~ 113.455 / 13174 (still)
old best: 86.598m

I wonder how much further this can be pushed...

"A good throw is 115 meter" - but 114.x seems all I can do:

Downunder they have made a slighty different version, and a good throw is 140 meter:
