My best was 7981. I found gunpowder to give the best results, which seems odd compared to the much more expensive fuel. Also, I had no idea how to use the nozzles. I played all the way to every upgrade and then some, though, so it was fun :)
Update: I accidentally flew my rocket negative 28 thousand meters. I'm in terrible debt now. This game rocks.
Best science kit I never bought. This was lots of fun. Gunpowder is the best by far.
The only adjustments I would make would be to add some sound, and to zoom out the camera a bit so you can get a better feel for how far you're going (at the moment it's slightly boring waiting for it to land when it goes really far, but if you could see the ground while you were flying, and maybe there were trees or something, it would be better).
Other than that though, a really good game :).
btw: Landed in the air at 10330m.
It's certainly innovative and fun, I just wish there was a bit more of it :)
Great job on the entry though - looking forward to seeing your next LD!
