Intense and very enjoyable as usual! Thanks PH

Helper · January 17, 2022, 05:02:44 AM

LOL!
Thanks for the shout-out.
Based on D's time, I'm looking at about 2 1/2 weeks to get through this one.
Thanks,
H

Getting a foothold and turtling in is actualy very easy on this one, just a little slower to expand thanks to the spores.

Thank you D.
Yes, those spores do arrive in a fast and bountiful fashion.
I got caught by surprise, but lasted for 3:16 - which may be subliminal on the part of PH.
Back for more abuse later.

PH, you about made my day.

Had to have another go as I found myself wondering

Spoiler

Is it possible to take all 4 corners before anything fires :P

Big D,

Thanks for that bit of cheerful news.
::)

I'm still trying to survive long enough to get some Beams up and running.
Questions:
Turtle? I flattened a 9x9 landing space for the first CN to a 1.
What level did you Turtle to?

I have my Blasters set to Digitalis, but they keep killing the darn bugs.
What's up with that? Not much fun when the bugs explode.

In between getting clobbered by PH's latest offering, I'm playing Yum's games going backward.
Doing #3378 right now and swearing at the darn bugs a whole bunch.
Fun map though.

Thanks,
H

D0m0nik · January 18, 2022, 09:42:15 AM

Yeah down to one. You don't need beams for this one ;)

D0m0nik · January 18, 2022, 09:43:52 AM

I'm also workng through Yums maps but on DMD

I must be missing a known trick here but how exactly do I prepare a landing spot for the CN? And how do get hold of a terp?

You already have them and you just don't know it! If you're still having trouble finding them:

Spoiler

On Pastor's maps it's usually a good idea to just drag select a box over the whole map at the very beginning, you'll often find some hidden goodies.

D0m0nik · January 18, 2022, 01:21:44 PM

Spoiler

Also search amongst the totems for more hidden goodies

Helper · January 18, 2022, 04:05:22 PM

And...looking at D's screen grab, don't assume there's only one, or two, or ten treasures hiding out there.
Keep looking.

Spoiler

I grabbed the first jewel I found and tried to force a starting position in a no good, very bad spot.
Oh well, that's why we get free do-overs.

Thanks D.

Ditto on Yum's DMD maps. Really good fun and I used to have the best score on some of them.
>:(

Helper · January 19, 2022, 05:23:23 AM

Arghh!
2 seconds away from getting that 4th Spore (upper left) and a bug commits suicide next to the Nullifier.
Bad luck or evil design by PH?

Heading back to DMD for a while.

Thank you all for the hints! I can see it will be frantic initially. :)
