Oh, yes. By the way, you CAN "win". Just realized it may not be obvious. Yeah, if you for some far-out reason decide to figure out the game well enough, you can progress through the levels until you get a little congratulations screen. It's after "Sky Devil". Fair warning to those masochistic badge hounds that go after this one; that is your last chance to try for 7000 meters! Whether you beat the average distance or not, you will be sent back to the start afterwards. Player beware. I'm certainly not going to slog through that again after learning this the hard way.

Well...I actually came back years later and beat this piece of crap, but still no hard badge. Better hope your launches are perfect on the last level, folks, because 7000 is actually much more than you need and you don't keep the money you get from "winning"; nope, you get sent straight back to the start with 0 bucks. It feels just like losing, except you get a different game over screen. Have fun!
In case it's not obvious, I loathe this game, and have ever since I got kicked out of the hard badge the first time by daring to stop for a few seconds to eat a sandwich between launches. This has not changed. 0.01/10; don't waste ten or twenty minutes of your life on this one, people. It'll rob you of them just like it will rob you of the badge and any satisfaction you may have in victory.

I'm kind of curious how many times the hard badge has been awarded. I can get to 3829 with all the upgrades. Way short.

Rewards are too low. Distances are too far apart from L2-L3. Can't invest in a superior aviation company like ACME. You lose your upgades and failure is forced like hitting a brick wall.

This game could have been pretty good, but there are so many problems that quickly make it a very unpleasant gaming experience. Even with the "cheat," it's difficult, and it comes down to the horrible launching power bar. My small addition to the cheat -- you don't have to right click exactly when you hit the water; you can right click in the end statistics screen or even in the next (3rd) launch sequence to take advantage of that glitch. I'm at 6,898 right now ... so close.

My house has issues and often acts as if I double click which puts my angle flat. Wish I could use spacebar or something other than the mouse.

Guys to get the hard badge get about 1.8k by right clicking then clicking play or forward once you have 1.8k buy everything try to the angle at about 30 and the power as much as you can then as soon as you fire activate all 3 boosters then before you hit the ground everytime use the skies then use freaky for the next 3 bounces i got 7426 doing this + if this helped

I haven't tried Dedrood's approach (yet) but hint for the first three contenders: don't spend anything on the second competitor, buy 2 (or 3 depending on "luck") thrusts. use one at the beginning, then just as you hit the water, hit the second-> this will boost your next try; repeat above for the third try, you should be able to beat #3. After that follow with Dedrood's way: max out on thrust, skis, freaky (etc) for the first try use them in order of buying, in the second try, max everything out except for one thrust, hit it once you hit water it will thrust you out for the final try with more "oomph" then max out as Dedrood stated (thrust, skis, etc). + if it works for you.

I think the velocity meter and power meter on the cannon should move faster. I'd would be great..NOT. 1/5 only couse there is no halves

This game is terrible, it looks like one of those "Educational" games they let you play in primary school, and the voice acting sounds like it too.

This is one of the worst games I have played in a long time. Give the players the opportunity to earn money, then maybe it can improve. Also this is not a plane, it is a stone. No aerodynamics here at all.

The Glitch: 50% kong players know this and 50% didn't know this
(Right click then press PLAY or FORWARD, this will bring you to the shop with the earned money in your landing... keep doing this until you reach 4,ooo? 0r maybe 5k?...I didn't get the hard badge yet but im starting to get that badge...) Note: you must do it when you land on water... Pls keep this comment alive... Hope this helps

Fun game, and the easy badge was actually pretty easy for me. But the only way to get the hard badge without totally losing your mind is definitely to use the Right-Click, Play trick after 2 launches on the first level until you can buy everything.
The way I did it was to aim almost completely horizontally, fire with full power, and then use Freak-Thrust 3 times in a row and then the skis. Ended up at 7500 and am saying goodbye to this potentially fun, if all of the issues were fixed, game.
Good luck to everyone else.

Just keep flagging the game. Maybe Kong staff will drink some smart juice and delete this horrid game. It does not deserve badges.

Thampton- this game came out several years before Learn to fly. They are called launch games and all are based on Kitten Cannon

One of the worst games I've played yet on Kongregate. It looked like it should have been more fun, but for a Learn To Fly derivative it really misses the mark.

if you want to win just do 2 turns then right click then click play then repeat. you'll restart the level with the money you got from those turns. (don't buy anything until you want to go to the next level)

This game is extremely annoying. I can't seem to accumulate enough money to buy any upgrades. It keeps recycling back to zero. My patience is depleting rapidly.

This game really isn't that hard if you get your strategy right.
At the start of every flight use all of your thrusts and you'll do fine.

Yup. Truly a horrible game.
My thanks to the people who posted about the right-click trick to get the badge. Good heavens this game is atrocious.
