Will you shift the tides in your favor or drown under the waves of your own inaction. Flood the Creeper emittters with Anti-Creeper to flip them to your side. #CRPL #Flip-Emitters
I prefer almost drowning, then shifting. There's nothing like a desperate situation, sprinkled with a tiny spark of hope. And AC, of course.
If Laithaldien hadn't commented on this map, I wouldn't have found it. Thanks!
So as for the map, I was really glad that I found it - I'm particularly fond of flip-emitter maps. However, I found this one a tad too big and thus a tad too much wrk. So, if you're wondering about my score, I tried an experiment where I partially won the map and then went to dinner, to see if a passive approach could win - spoiler, it doesn't. :) Might if I add many more hours, but ... moving a few sprayers to the hold-outs wasn't that onerous. I'd say I played 10% of the map in a real fight mode another 10% in "just push forward mode" then maybe 70% in "let the Anti-creeper run where it will, I'm having dinner" mode and a final 10% in "drop a few sprayers" mode.
Still, the map has merit. Just wish it was smaller and had more of a motive to play under pressure.
i liked this one a lot!
it made me keep up the pressure through a strange manner, it was always easier to stop after each flip, but that would be a losing tactic long term. i think a sub 10 mins is doable on this one, a focus on bombers might be a good strategy!
the flip spore are an awesome invention, i missed them when they came out.
this map is so good i think i will shamelessly pinch the scripts and make my own versions!
good work Bluepikmin64 8)
