skippy, you fast.

Took a try or two to get enough energy+beams to survive the spores and some interesting strategizing to advance. range upgrades beyond the first couple may or may not be helpful.

I assume skippy used some sort of utter genius plays with singularities to get that 30 ish minute time.

One minute of game time takes me a full hour or so of my life time... which at 83 is getting [Hopefully] just a little bit shorter every day...
SO
Do the math... Your real life time invested in the map likely beat the real life time I invested in setting up and playing that map...

Lol, yeah I'm the opposite. 1 hour of game time is typically 15 minutes of real-time for me. Years ago I played it with a speed mod up to max speed which was limited to around 10x speed.

But I'm seriously impressed at your times especially for being as old as my former roommate's ex-girlfriend's mother's secretary's 1st cousin, once removed.

I like your maps, too! =)

also, deactivate or destroy the shields. the Beams are good enough.

My game auto-deletes all shields on startup and prevents me from building them unless they're absolutely necessary. 😝

Quote from: teknotiss on February 25, 2026, 02:51:37 PMi will disagree with Johnny here... i hate this sort of mechanic, just totally takes away my desire to play on.

if you post a CPRL free version i will happily play it though!

still thanks for making the map, for sure JH will love this sort of thing ;)

Lol, I didn't love it because it just kept going even after the dialogue was done. I thought at that point it was just an annoyance. But yeah, the part I enjoyed was primarily because it was challenging.

As far as starting, I started in the upper left. Rather than describe it, I'll just show my 6:20 save. Hope this helps!

This needs to be re-made with only 10 of every weapon, except for beams, and no pick-ups. I mean, if it's gonna be a long map I think it's better if every battle is more intense.

I enjoyed the map, sans pickups. Spores could've come much earlier, but enjoyed the spore action. Always love the pyramids which leads me to suspect I might have been one of the Pharaoh's in a previous life. Too bad they didn't bury me with bitcoin codes implanted in my brain instead of all that gold.

Thanks for the map! =)
