Too smaller distance, not enough rules.

Also, put a timer so you can actually see who wins.

Yes, please either make more rules, or elaborate on current ones. Also, anyone who uses compressed circles or negative airfriction is stealing my idea 'cause I just built an entry using it.

Oh alright. But back to the contest.

Looks like this one was made by another thyme-hater:

I hate it when people do that.

Yeah, I do as well... Using thyme doesn't make rockets easier to build. I built my entry in 55 seconds without any thyme, and it worked great. If I had used thyme, I would have had to build a whole new density engine.

My entry just uses a ridiculous amount of thyme :)
And it only works at 30000Hz in super slow mo :D
It gets to the top killer plane in 0.14s at a speed of 56000m/s though.

S'what happens when you spawn 127 infinite density circles :)

Aha! It now works on 100hz with less acceleration but more speed. Cruise at full power is 106000m/s, but is only at 20000m/s when it reaches space on the new scene :/
