An insanely difficult standard defense map. Hint 1: Check out the map a bit and try to understand it before playing. Where will the creeper come from and what will happen when you take out the various emitters? Hint 2: Don't turtle too much, get out there a little bit.
Oh wow. This simple looking map has me feeling stumped! I'll have to come back to it and note down some extremely precise timings to deal with those pockets of dense creeper...
Not insanely difficult, and totally playable. Don't listen to the second hint.
With most creeper-only maps, you can turtle a small area and hold off the creeper until you're able to push out. This is no exception. There's not enough creep to worry about so just build a defense.
REAL hint: Turtling usually works best in a corner, or with your back to a wall because 1) You don't have to build 360 defenses and 2) It uses less energy to terp.
Not a bad map, considering there's no aether. I'd say maybe 7/10 for difficulty though? Definitely not above 8.
Thanks for the map!
