Danger Island

Danger Island is a reality show in development that pits actual convicted felons against manhunters. We’re one step closer to The Running Man. You can apply to be a contestant, but you can’t have been convicted of murder, rape, or child molestation. The $1,000,000 prize goes to the victim of the winner’s last crime. So I guess if the winner had beaten someone to the point of quadrapalegia and then commited mail fraud, the US Postal Service would get the prize. (thx lee)

Update: For the confused, the main incentive for the felons (besides repentence) is a $50,000 scholarship for their children.

now can you get it to the "ufo" level?

Wow, the UFO level is very weird. I cheated to get there, and I'm glad I did since getting there doesn't involve following the typical Grow logic.

Did you find it naturally?

God, no. I actually had to cheat to get even to the "true" end: I got to a solution that seemed logical and seemingly maxed everything out, but for some reason didn't have roads all the way (they were at 3 I think). Pretty much all the same stuff happened as in the real solution, but it happened *after* the scores were revealed, and one item got upgraded to UFO. I had already spend too much time on it at that point so I used the walkthrough posted in jayisgames, which also had the ufo solution. I was kind of annoyed -- based on grow logic I couldn't figure out why my solution was wrong and the right solution right, but when there are 2^8 possible ways to do the game, I guess these things can happen. As far as I can tell the UFO solution is almost the opposite of the correct order, from a grow logic POV, so I suppose it could be found if one tried hard enough.

I really enjoy On's design sensibilities. If you haven't played dwarf complete I highly recommend it.
