The title of this map is pretty deceiving. If you go into it expecting a challenge, you'll be disappointed. If you are looking for a nice easy map that's not super quick with AC assist and a hyper AC mine, then this is probably your style. You would be hard pressed NOT to survive this map.
It's not a bad map, in my opinion. I'd rather have had maybe ONE mega-emitter in each corner instead of a bajazillion little rinky-dink emitters. As it is, this map would be more appropriately titled, "Can you clean up after the baby emitters?"
Challenge level - 1
Fun level - 4
Enabling the "I'm INVINCIBLE" desire to just bully around some wimpy, whining creeper - 9.5
Thanks for the trio of SPEED RUNS!
Could be improved simply by changing off the default monotone terrain to one of the themes with a little color. Makes for a good speed run challenge for those that like to replay these maps.
Also I published so many maps before I started changing terrain colours from default. Maybe he didn't knew terrain colors can be changed?

I almost never replay maps. My personal speed challenge is to look at the map and figure out how to speed thorough it in one go.
Replaying maps is for perfectionists. I suppose everyone has their own style and challenges they set for themselves. My own personal speed challenge is to see if I can leave the game unpaused, go make lunch and come back and see if I can finish eating before the game is over. That way I either finish the game or finish lunch - and either way it's a sense of accomplishment. Yay and stuff like that.
I play most maps once as I generally don't have the time to play them twice. The usual exception is if Alter Old sets a crazy time I will then go back to it and play the 'figure what the hell happened there game'. I learn a lot that way. Some PACs are worth a second go for fun.

I like food too.
But I do think that this mapmaker should consider spicing up the map textures. I personally try to make mine as interesting as possible.
