I would classify this as a [expletive deleted - G.] map.

To hard? It did take me 5-20 tries to get it, and my time was 55 minutes, so you where warned some.

One of the emitters is a bit annoying, otherwise it's fine.

Spoiler

The one at the center, what a nasty surprise at minute 20 :P

My defense for it was a bit large on my play that won,

Spoiler

About 4 blasters at the bottom, with 2 mortars. 4 blasters and 5 mortars on the next level, and 2 blasters and 2 mortars on the 2nd to top layer.

so it wasn't to fun there. and by the end, I was hating myself. ::)
Also, How are people getting times of under 20 minutes?

good Idea, nice map. used some drones in the end. under 10 minutes is possible.

Can I please ask how? I really want to know.

Hi Jim,

Spoiler

I used some blasters, if I remember correct, to get to the top of the right corner. You need enough energy in the beginning to hold the whole area. So build up and place some blasters to hold the big wave back. Then build more and more blasters until you have so many you don't need to build more to win the game so you can use your energy almost only for firing blasters. I didn't use a complicated strategy here. Just try it :)
