I do like these levels. :-)
But I found there wasn't really any way of clearing the top left until basically the rest of the level was clear, then it was just a long boring wait to get AC through the small channels (even using bombs/singularity).

Really liked this one! Activating the right gates adds a fun new perspective~

Spoiler
There's that gate up there.  Terp away the walls and use your bombs, it goes quickly.  Nothing up there remotely worth a singularity shot.

Spoiler
You have to attack through gates, you can't expand very far directly.

I do have one substantial beef with this map--you have that very nasty red crystal and it's set quite close to a couple of emitters that retain their multiplier when converted.  There's no way to keep the anticreeper off the crystal.

yes, that's exactly what I did:
Spoiler
use a guppy to open the gate, terp away the walls, put a blocker on the strong emitters, use the multiplier on the others, even drop the annihilator thingy there

but I found it still took 10 minutes at the end to get all the way through to the remaining low power emitters.

OOooo, I like this one! As mentioned earlier, the creeper in the upper left is really strong and will eventually come over your walls once it's 800+ deep. I found that I couldn't let this one run for several minutes before doing stuff as in other maps - you pretty much need to get moving to build up enough AC production to keep the creeper at bay while you attack other stuff.

I didn't find a need for the singularity. Once you overpower the Boss Emitters, It's easy enough to just let it run while you do your income tax return or something useful like that. Come back in a few hours and it'll be pretty much done for you.

Thanks for another Bed-acious map!  ;D ;D ;D
