the basic goal of the game is to get in to space at a height of 4500 feet in the air. this can be achieved with a striaght up launch with maxed out top bars. (launch and band). to do this in 10 days or less (you should be able to get it in less than 7, really) is first start with two in each on teh top bar before day 1. try to launch at a 60 degree angle in either direction and hit as many platforms as you can, conserving your fuel. blues are worth 1, green 5 and yellow 10. try to get yellows as much as possible during the first lauches and try to stay airborne for as long as possible. during the next few launches try to keep the top two basically in balance, while also keeping an eye on fuel conservation. a rocket pack is also good when you are at the top of your launch and going at 8 miles an hour, it wil give you about 100 extra feet each. when you get maxed out top two bars, do a straight up launch and you win. if you fall short, use a rocket pack to get those extra few feet.

i can beat it in 10 days on a bad start i usually start like xanderaso but at my 1st chance i but the 2nd radar(lets you see all bumpers) and the rocket pack and try to get height since every 100 feet is 1x

pretty cool, but if you buy the boosty rockets and parachutes, u can take your time falling and pick out all the moneys, and you'll get a great height multiplyer. i make like 12 thousand a day with that

I have a slightly different strategy from xanderaso's. I've written about it here:

Hedgehog Launch game guide (with pictures)

In brief, on day 1, dump all your money into Band or Launcher, or go 2/2. Launch straight up and watch for opportunities. If none appear, boost into an angled free-fall at the apex of your arc. Next, save up money for at least 1 Parachute and use that to collect coins and extend time. Then buy E-rockets and combine them with your Parachute for huge payouts. Finally, max out Band and Launcher (or at least upgrade to max - 1 for each) and go straight up, using E-rockets if you fall short.

Using this method, I've found a winning time of 4-8 days to be fairly easy. Hitting 3, however, requires a LOT of luck.

Thanks for the effort, but it's tidier if we keep the discussion of strategy for one game on one thread!
