That'd be one for "you're welcome" then?

When does the actual game start? Right now it just keeps cycling through a bunch of subliminal screens of a paper airplane, a mailbox, a dude with a camel, a kid with a ball of twine, a guitar case with a few coins in it, Santa Clause and some god awful background noise. This is the dumbest link I've ever seen on here. Come back with a real game, dammit.

They're provided in the game. Pick up and throw with the mouse. Until you upgrade to include steering, that's all you get. Once you've got steering, then A and D or left and right to adjust attitude.

I wonder what the trick is to getting it done in 5 days. You'd have to get crazy lucky on the first round.
I don't think I did it in under 15.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the high score table - it's obviously been hacked. I saw an entry for 1 day there...
I'm confident that it can be done in 8, possibly 7... to get any lower you'd have to be crazy good and crazy lucky.

Doh! I was 1000m from doing it in 8 days. Im extremely skeptical it could be done in 7, but it was pretty fun to try.

Ha! I did the same. $460 on the first throw. I was so tickled that I threw the next one straight down.

You bastard!! Give my time back!
Still haven't managed the first level in 8 days. Finished the whole thing in 25 days though. Max flight 4500m, max height 75m. Also got all the awards except that stupid first 8 days.

A few hints:
Fast and flat is the way to go
The propellers are your best friends
The rocket is not. Don't waste your money.
With the right upgrades, it's possible to go >3000m on a single bar of fuel.

I've hit the 8 days without going low.
If you hit the golden stars just right, you also hit them one after the other.
There is a huge jetstream if you go too high though, that kind of stops you in your tracks.

Just to be clear, I'm talking 8 days for the entire game, not just the first level.

Do you mean from the very very start?
Or once you have finished it and you start again with all the upgrades?

From the very, very start, starting with zero upgrades.
