Hey, sorry for the "cheating" time - just wanted to see if I could beat Alter's time. I'll try to do it normally and see if I can get under 7 minutes.

Problem is that you cannot change cheated time into longer non cheated , I think.

This is a re-upload with a legitimate time, and the backdoor infrastructure is entirely gone. I permanently deleted Backdoor.crpl if that makes you any more comfortable.

Respectfully yours,

Hate that it won't let you post a longer time... I did 3:06.5 without Cheat Engine but when I went to post the time it just posted my faster time instead. So it makes it look like I'm a spammer... >:(

Video (https://youtu.be/uyGwbUCeS5o).
Maps of this type, where randomly appears or consciously left the "backdoor", often require much more attention than the "linear" maps. Many thanks to authors.

Wow. Just... totally, unequivocally,  without a doubt and every other relevant adjective, adverb, and high-fiber modified protein... wow.

Hey, Alt... (can I call you "Alt" for short?) - All I have to say is...

Thanks for the video! You have some amazing strategic skill! How do you get it to auto-pause like that? I notice on the video it's always saying "pause" yet the game is continuing to move, yet very slowly. That's so cool. Is that a mod or macro or something? I love it!  :D

Incredible, loved the video and music, a cinematic treat. It has suspense, tragedy (you lost a collector at 1.04, I nearly fell off my chair) and ultimately victory!

Thank you for sharing.  :D

Johnny - when you pause you can use he N key to move frame by frame. Essential for saving micro seconds!

Yes, what D0m0nik said. Personally I witched it to "." because the last game I picked up and put down in a week was Dwarf Fortress, which lets you step frame by frame with the same key. I probably would forget to use it otherwise. ;)

Mind you, all of them are on autotarget...

And here's a map where I went nuts with the berthas and reactors:

Such many overkill, although that's actually this game:

T'was such a fun, yet mind-numbingly short game.
