Players are just going to pour out of the woodwork and dump buckets of gratitude and love on your head for this one, I'm sure!

It's actually not all that difficult - just have to make sure you hit the mass drivers in sorta the right place (the first one needs to be exact, but the rest aren't that crucial).

I thought it might be interesting to see if I could totally tank the spores, but even at a depth of 60+ AC they still got through, and I don't remember how deep it needs to be for total protection. So I just ended it.

Decent puzzle map which definitely has the potential to be a speed run.

Thanks for the map! ;D

once I read that you need anticreeper -8 to render spores useless. But playing my own map taught my otherwise.

glad you liked this. The best score here is very good.

oh, and I expect high rating for this one

Thx. Which way did you guys go?

Yeah cool speed run. I used the N button for some frame by frame action. I don't tend to do this but worth it for a short map.

You reached the nullifier like that? I hate my life ;)

Nice puzzle map.
My solution was to start in center, then mass to the left to get two more + siphon.
Then three more to the north-west (and fly with CN there), north and north-east.

Wow, awesome time Dom!

I love that your time (and a couple other players' times) are better than the Korean who uses Cheat Engine or some other hack, lol. Nice! ;)

Had to laugh at the "scenic route" remark too. You would make an amazing taxi driver I bet... prolly get from Manhattan to Long Island in under an hour during rush hour. :o

Clearly missed my calling in life! ;D
