feedback appreciated
One rating and, of course, it was a "1".
Apparently you hurt someone's feelings.
I will not use my favorite two word expression.
Will now give it a go (and fail) but won't give it a 1 either.
Thanks,
H

People aren't allowed to vote a 1 if they don't like the map? I like a lot of Martin's maps. But historically I almost never see them above about a 4 or 5. Probably because it's a style a difficulty that most people don't like. Nothing wrong with that. I still give them a go myself because I like a challenge. Not everyone is the same though.
People can vote any way they want - and do.
And when some jerk does a rage quit because of their own inability to play a tough map, they take it out on the map creator by downgrading it.
It takes a ton of work to create some of the maps we see here and I try to make it a point to respect the effort, even if I don't like/can't complete it.
I always encourage the down-voters to identify the maps they've published to let the rest of the group evaluate their work.
No takers so far.

BTW - on my sixth attempt at this, I managed to live until 1:03...damn I'm good! ::)
the idea of downvoting a map because i cant beat it is actually pretty childish :P
i had a lot of trouble beating planetfall's campaign, and at no point it was anything but cool to play, even after each defeat, which werent few
All these comments - I'll take them as compliments ;)

It's actually worse than "The Korean" scores.

Zing!
Update...start #11, I'm at 2:15.3, and still alive.
done...the race at start was pretty fun...getting things set before the first wave
though i expected the bottom to present a greater threat from the ground while i was trying to take over the top
cool map, i also enjoyed having to reach through for the nullifier
Thank you for playing!
Where did you land the guppies?

to fuel the placed nullifier,
Spoiler
i used the CN :P
on the south continent i landed the guppies at the northern left, away from those 1000amt
Wise man ;)
but wait - did you not finish?
only "The Korean" score is posted.
Woke up this morning and looked at my save, then asked myself what the heck was I thinking?
I was at about 22:00 play time and realized I could have taken out that one Emitter way early in the game.
From there it was just a matter cleaning up.
Spoiler
PZ Guppies are a good thing.
Thanks for the fun.
H
thx!

oh, i finished, but i hardly ever bother submitting scores
Got it. Thank you for playing!
Ouf.
That was.... somewhat challenging.
I redid the first 2 minutes of play maybe... 40 times? 45 times?
Auch ;)

Yeah, I ran out of fingers and toes to count on.
After finishing I came back a few hours later and realized I made a real blunder at the start.
Things went better the second time around.
Nice Score!

Do tell. Spoiler or not
As soon as I picked up the CN's, I dropped one over to the right to take out that Emitter.
Picture at 36 seconds.
There are two honest scores better than mine, so maybe they did something differently.
I could take some time off my score, but not today.
LOL!
I went after the lower section badly underpowered and had to hole up while I built about three zillion Reactors.
Great fun game - even on the 77th try.

Note to self: check if it's possible to take out things I don't want to be able to be taken out easily. Do it twice :)
Darn! I just realized I made a really dumb error on my attack south.
Will have to give it another go (but not until my eyeballs quit bleeding.)
Fun Stuff!
I fear the tactics you have thought out
