This map is incredibly difficult and nearly impossible to beat. Are you up for the challenge?
Really enjoyed this map. I am impressed with your time! :)
Most fun I've had playing a map in a long, long time.
I didn't realize I enjoyed maps like this, but apparently I do :D
That was fun, and I learned something about spores and beams today.

Thanks for the positive feedback. This is my first attempt at creating a map and I'm glad you liked it :)
I'm considering making more like this. Let me know if there's any specific strategies or ideas you'd like to see implemented in the next one.
Great map! :D
This takes some thought but it's not nearly impossible.
I really want to see a video of Alter Old!
Great map, I was really surprised how enjoyable it was. Getting the first few moves right is critical, after that it's mostly about moving things around due to the lack of space.
Spoiler
I initially worked hard to keep a beam alive and fully charged but it turns out it's not really needed. A blaster is much more useful for clearing the landing pads once a spore has hit. Once you get a beam in the bottom right PZ though it's game over for the creeper.
I had to do a couple tries before deciding on a strategy. This is the only map I've ever played where I made zero collectors. :P
Very challenging and just like solving one of those 50-step puzzles.

Wow. Super tight. Thanks for posting that! Everything is so logical. Makes me realize how many mistakes I made in my own strategy!
Thank you Alter Old. That was great to watch. Please post more of your videos. I learned a lot watching you.
Wow Alter Old, I'm impressed! I'll try to give you more of a challenge with the next one! Thanks for showing us a few tricks :D
That's the first time I've ever got the "Victory!" message while my command node was drowning in hostile creeper. =D
If you've never watched Alter Old's videos, you should click the link in one of his earlier posts in this thread. This map is a very steady map that you might need to pause occasionally but you shouldn't need to save or restart it. Pretty straightforward.
This map is so old I'm guessing Hubs isn't around anymore :-[ but if ya are, thanks for making this map! ;D
