Ok, here's the closest I've come.

your so close! its similar to what I did, but I used a repeller in the top right corner - all you need is to position that last attractor near the purple target thingo..

I tried that, but it throws off my other attractors...
I guess I just need to keep at it and fine tune the positions. I'll also try your idea for the repeller in the upper right hand corner, thanks.

The uni computers wont let my play Grav pods, so I gave Orb a go and managed 34k after I got the swing of it

Whats cool is just playing with the orbs, I managed to put the purple and blue ones into a stable orbit about the cursor

Look to the lower left--the yellow dots. At the higher levels, it's almost impossible not to expend more missiles getting to a solution then you get when you go to the next level.

I still have three rows of missiles. maybe 20 in each row (I didn't count them) but I had to move one of my Gravity Pods then it wont shoot missiles I can still move cannon and Gravity Pods but wont shoot have to refresh or shut down and restart.

Well, that's a bummer. I had a similar experience yesterday, and couldn't get the space bar to work. Some kind of buglet in GravPods, perhaps. Maybe closing all other windows before playing GravPods would help prevent that. hmmmm

I think I solved this one in maybe 15 shots. My rule of thumb is, if you need to put the missile through a tight turn with the leg in and leg out reasonably straight lines, use a repellor. If you have lots of room to swing around, or need a curved turn, use an attractor.

For #40, I used attractor at top left, repellor at top right, repellor at bottom right and an attractor essentially "in" the wall just before the last gate. This not only swung the missile around 90+ degrees, but kept bending its path enough after the gate to hit the target. I didn't need a terminal attractor at the target.

Several days later, I tried #40 again, and for the life of me, I couldn't make it work!

It took me ages, but eventually I managed level 50 in grav pods. Actually twice the first time it worked it was my last bullet and instead of saying how cool I am it sait out of ammo. So I wanted to see what happens and tried again, managed even without using one anti-sun...

...back to work now.

I thought of that and GravPod was the only thing running at the time.
being you had the same experience yesterday with Space bar, then it's probably not on my end and I'll just have to deal with it.

Q: anybody know how many levels there are in Gravity Pods?
