    I just did a run with 469 flips (and a crash) and the rain of confetti from the hi-speed flipping was really something.

      Exactly! Flipping it makes even more fun than the exact, propper, landing ;) https://www.owsiak.org/i-just-could-not-help-myself-lander-is-soo-much-fun/ https://www.owsiak.org/i-just-could-not-help-myself-lander-i...

Well, my middle finger is numb, but I beat 1000 points. I took a straight path upward, and then switched to a horizontal -90° burn, slowly shifting to a -135° burn as I got closer to the ground.

  The quickest (in terms of time elapsed) crash I've been able to get is 5 seconds. I think 4 may be just about possible, with the right initial conditions.

      Nice. I can get 5 reliably, but haven't been able to get 4 at all.

        Apparently the timing isn't tied to the framerate, so after I ran the game on a faster computer I got 2 seconds quite consistently A smooth… wait… you crashed Score: 28.7 point crash Speed: 80.4mph Angle: 178.4° Time: 2 seconds Flips: 0 Max speed: 80.4mph Max height: 185ft Engine used: 1 times Boosters used: 2 times https://ehmorris.com/lander/
