Tricky start!  You have to block all the right spaces or you get overrun.

I didn't find starting that difficult - it seemed pretty obvious to me that you'd need to make sure that your lone emitter shouldn't tackle more at a time than it can handle.
I can't seem to get through the yellow gate though. Either I'm stupidly missing something glaringly obvious.
Right now, I'm wondering whether I should go for filling my island to 400 and then (hopefully) be able to close some yellow exists, or maybe I have enough power to reduce the yellow network and it just takes time - but given that blue is already at 700 and too near to a yellow gate, I doubt that either strategy will work.

For a slow-and-steady progress, you don't need a anything fancy ... just block the gate, terp a wall around it to height 9, and then move the blocker forward.

Edit:
Oops ... I though I was looking at the thread for a different map. Sorry.

Problem is I don't find a place where to move the blocker. I can't progress through the resting places for blockers/keys because I can't terp them down, I can't make use of the teal emitter to the east because the red gate is spawning more creep than the teal emitter produces even when frenzied, and I'm not sure that I can move north (seems like moving to space requires more than the usual 500, even a double Singularity wouldn't pull the AC over space).

UPDATE: The yellow gate is now filled to 800 and has started overflowing the 9 wall. Not sure what I can do against this, I need the blocker to keep the the destination island from filling up to >1000 levels.

UPDATE 2: Seems you have to get both factories cleared. (Now I have having to restart just to correct a mistake.)

Can you attach screenshot (better saved file) of your recent position and I will try to help you.  :)

P.S. Hope that somebody will create video because this map not need using of singularity weapon.

I'm good. I just didn't know I need to quickly clear the second factory as well.

I thought this was a fun map but I'm a little hesitant to spoil it by making a video on how to get a score below 12 minutes without singularity weapon :P

Do not hesitate!  :D
Everybody can decide to watch video immediately or a little later...

Really enjoying these maps.

Congrats Taishan on another Number 1 score!
Shame about the 1/3 idiots posting fake scores.  >:(

OK, I'm missing something big time. After securing the initial area and terping a wall around the yellow tube I can't bridge to other areas. How the heck do you get over those walls?

By my opinion game is not so hard.

Can you attach screenshot (better saved file) of your recent position and I will try to help you.  :)

Okay, here it is. A longer than average video on how to do this map in a shorter than average time.

Wow, what a tricky start. I must have restarted about 10 times until I finally got it all right. Once the special gate is secured, it gets much easier after that, but still fun with all the bomb variety.  Thank you for a fun map!

I got a basic starting position but after that with only 1 blocker, how can I go through 1000 thick creeper when I am only making 140 at best? But thanks for commenting a youtube walkthrough...
