Yet another silly game
 

If you're like me, then lately you've been saying to yourself "This business of hurling bombs at the royal family with a trebuchet is all well and good, but after a long day at the office huffing lacquer thinner and snorting cocaine off of the receptionist's tits, there's far too much thinking involved in it. If only there was some mindless passtime that combined the very best elements of Lunar Lander, Sonic the Hedgehog, and that thing where the rabbit jumps from one bell to another, well, then my life would be complete."

And here you are: Hedgehog Launch 2: The Moon

Yes, now you too can step into the shoes of the director of aeronautical research for a small, impoverished nation which, not content to be outdone by those industralized countries with their fancy space shuttles and 16-colour computers, has armed you with an incredible $40 budget and tasked you with the awesome job of launching a hedgehog (with a large rubber band) into a hole drilled completely through the Earth, out the decadent US state of Nebraska, and into the furthest reaches of outer space.

Be sure to select "Story Mode" as opposed to "Free Play" or it gets old fast. Well, it gets old fast either way, really, but it remains playable for very slightly longer this way.

There goes my afternoon:D

you should probably stop...

holy shit

I just can't get into that one. The castle one was the shit though.

I would of had so much money but i beat the game in 1 launch

I think I need help.

at some point, it's more of a challege to land the damn critter.

Yeah, in freeplay mode, you can walk away from the computer at 100,000 feet and 10 minutes later the damn thing will still be bouncing around.

Now that everyone's landed on Mars, there's always the original Hedgehog Launch.

what the hell man?? lol I said stop!

anyone get gravity kill before free play mode?

Can you actually get to the moon in the hedgehog game? What altitude do you have to get to?

Yeah, I got it once. You really have to try to prevent yourself from reaching Mars first though. Once you've got it, you just keep travelling upwards at a uniform velocity after launch.

In Story mode, the moon is at 10k ft.

Haven't done 3 days to Mars, but regarding the money situation, how's seven billion on day 5?

In my own defense, most of that time was spent away from the machine. Get the little guy high enough, put some lateral thrust on him, and he'll go for hours.

Is there a support group for people who need to quit this game? :rolleyes:

haha run time 3:03:09.03

This damn game is more addicting than crack...

Must get to Mars in 3 days.

Finally.

I gotta quit playing this...

I made it to the moon on day 1.

That's insane. I don't see how you guys are doing it so fast. I was proud when I made it in 6 days.

You guys are killing me. Took a couple of tries to finally cut it to two days, and with barely an ounce of maneuvering fuel left.

pdexta, you've gotta make a killing on day 1 to make this happen, and that's mostly about luck. You need enough moolah to grab level 2 radar, a midrange fuel sucker, a decently sized fuel tank, and a midrange booster upgrade. If you can finish day 1 with $2k in the bank, you can do it. Otherwise, restart.

must. make it. in. one. day.

Yeah, I'll let you have that honor all to yourself. Let us know what you come up for air. :D

this game + me = fail.

This is killing me. After lapping valves all morning, I sat down and did this on the first try. First time I'd played in almost a month.
