Only beams allowed, you have AC emitters that will do the hard work for you and you just have to defend against spores. The AC moves a lot slower than I was expecting so once you've got the spores under control just stick it on 4x and idle for a bit so you don't get bored.

That was a lot more intersting than I expected. The challenge of using the singularity to control and move creeper around was pretty cool. I'm enjoying your maps, thanks.

Thanks mate I appreciate it.

I have played this game for years and recently the community maps have started to dry up so I thought why not make some myself.

Using the singularity to move the creeper about wasn't intended when I made it but I agree it did add a cool layer of different gameplay to try and speed the process along. Speaking of speed, someone has set a 30 hour time on it  :o

Yeah for me YUM is basicaly keeping the game going single handed. That is not to discredit other makers but YUMs output is insane and the quality is always 10/10.

Your maps are a great addition, they won't be for everyone as they are challening but we all like different things. Closing in was my favourite, I love the sense that the creeper is threatening from all sides plus the option is there to multi task with essential pick ups on multiple islands. Look forward to more.

Wow 30 hours, round of applause for not giving up!  ;D

People often load up a game, set it to 4x, then fall asleep while the timer continues to run up. Then they'll finish some time later with the extra time still on the clock. I'm guessing that's probably what happened here.
