Nice map.  Hard to get to the first bertha and aether flower, but I made it.

Hi,
thanks - yes, imho, it can make any map tooo easy when you have instant aether access - but if you really, really want the aether, you could send (suicide) guppies to the totems.

For anybody else having problems to reach the first intersection,

a shield might be helpful

Are they not disabled?

Good map but the end is impossible without a certain amount of upgrades, limits the game as a speed player but not too much.

Ahhrgh! Of course
You see a blushed hobbit creeping back in his hole - sorry for that!

And yes, w/o upgrades it's probably impossible (I needed range 3 and rate 3 and a terp)

btw: Great Score - I sometimes wonder if you spend the double amount of real time to get half of ingame time ;)

I would honestly say at least 3 times if not 4! I have one finger on the pause button start to finsih and don't even realise I am using it! 15min game time takes an hour on average including a restart or two.

I have to apologize for my score. At some point in time my attention wandered and I completed a side-quest without realizing I failed to pause the game. :(

OK - I felt myself challenged and tried really hard after K75 felt the need to apologize for a score pretty close to mine and I could shave of indeed 40% of my initial score... Hooray! Thanks Karsten for your, what might be the right word, understatement?
Now I understand a little better what D0m0nik meant and I managed to get the top out with three rate and two range, something I wouldn't have even thought of before you challenged me. And yes, it took me more than 1:45h for a 35 minutes time... Hey, that is a piece of work! But I feel more comfortably when turtling around ;)
