It actually didn't take any longer than a standard ubertrench, just twelve times as many explosives (although I'm proud to report that when I hooked it up and the snot sped up, it had to play through the finishing music a full three times). It only came up with a disappointing $418 dollars, which is probably good from a design standpoint as this sort of thing can't possibly be healthy. I accidentally had my speed set at 4 the other day when building an ubertrench and end up with $450some from the speed bonus.
Speaking of the speed bonus, though... when I had it accidentally set at maximum, the bonus was 70%. Don't you think that's a little slim? I mean, let's look at a player's options here. At speed 0, it's mind-bogglingly easy to net $300 on one of the earlier, easy levels. At speed 4, with a little skill and some luck, you can build the same sort of trench and get well over $400. At speed 8... you're screwed if you're not continuously trying to make it to the exit. Heck, you're probably screwed regardless. I've tried beating a level on speed 8 at least 5 or 6 times, and only succeeded once for less than $100 all told... about one-sixth as much money as I could have gotten if I had tried speed 3 or 4, many times easier. |
