Took me 5 seconds to realize how much I was going to skip this one.

I'm sure I saved myself much annoyance.

The only annoyance in this map was
Spoiler
needing to remember to send out yr drone(s) on time when you were distracted with making an advance on the 'floor'
[close]
. Other than that, no real multitasking (unless you want a top time) and a generally smooth experience.

You are really missing out on stuff, Mr J...  I'm currently trying to crack this one (first two of three puzzles solved)

Now that is an annoying map... ;D

No that one is just a puzzle that apparently takes intimate and knowledge of intricate game mechanics.

This one has multitasking (I have better things to do) and uncappable emitters (just makes it take longer because of higher energy needs).

But it's ok if we disagree.  This game has many facets.  I play custom maps for fun and if they aren't fun I skip them.  I play chronom for the challenge of being fast.  I'm usually in the top 3 of the dozens of posted daily scores lately.

Nobody's saying you're a bad player (and given yr chronom stats, you are certainly better than I am)... Yes, we can disagree - but is there a reason to place dismissive comments on maps that happen not to fit your play style? A simple "I don't do multitasking - next" would have sufficed to make your point (or insert a winky face next time  ;))

This was far from Bacura's best, but it's still a decent map and provides some neat puzzles to solve (and uncappable does not mean untameable). And it's nowhere near as annoying as Dad's stuff (where the annoyance is par for the course (but still quite a bit of fun can be had)).

Either way, don't want an argument (especially since you've authored and submitted quite a few cool maps and my goodself has made none, so the moral high ground is yrs by definition)... and it would be utterly pointless as the concept of 'fun' is subjective.

On that note, what is your favourite ('most fun') map so far?
