Slimes! They're cute, but throwing particulate at us.
Nice map. The start is easy enough but the end was a fight until I got my strategy right.
It's currently rated a 6, which is definitely lower than it deserves. Are some people just voting a 1 to everything?
Thanks!
Spoiler
There is one emitter in the bunch on the far right that can be destroyed with an omni - after that I found getting to the bottom right then sweeping upwards sorted it out
It'd sure be nice to have more metrics and info on map sharing - I think with enough votes, the resulting value is normally fair enough though
The ramming grabbers definitely surprised me. I didn't enjoy the emitters too much, I went top to bottom. I brute forced by suiciding ships until I lathed the emitter. I generally don't like that tactic very much. Maybe I should've went bottom up and I wouldn't have had that problem. I did enjoy the challenge of the enemy grabbers throwing particles. I think it's an idea worth refining.
