A huge iceberg of frozen creeper sits at the top of this mountain. As you attack, it will melt and flow down quicker! A relatively easy map, but it might take you a few attempts.
I liked this map. It's a nice "new" idea, but why the strangly flowing creeper?
Spoiler
The flow of the creeper created some free spots where I could continue the fight after the ice burst. Thus I won on the first attempt, but I had really lost - if you get what I mean.
On my first attempt, I "won" this in just under a minute, but the game continued to run... so I let it run to see what happened, and it kept going with no end in sight. When I reloaded the game, everything was frozen. Time was moving at a normal speed, but nothing would build. The CN that was floating mid-air moved slower than Congress. It was really weird.
So I restarted the game and did things differently and realize there's a condition to clear a high percentage (95%?) of creeper from the map - or perhaps to clear creeper until it is no deeper than X amount. Either way, it would have been helpful to know this beforehand.
Interesting concept - not difficult at all but just different. The faster-moving creeper gives a unique strategic twist as well. Overall, I thought the map was ok but I'd prefer something more challenging than just "mop up the map after you've spilled everything".
Thanks for the map! ;D
