Skars & Lia just arrives to a distress call and it's not a good one, You just entered a Heavily Defended Planet that's been completely token over by a Mutated Creeper again... : This is the second edition to my first map, but harder! This will be very challenging! Tip: When approaching the Planet Use brute force to take out the Turrets :) #Challenging #CustomCRPL #USE SNIPERS! #Tough Enemies!

Ikr, I'm hoping I didn't go overboard with the turrets on the Planet though :(
Although I'm very happy how it turned out! Maybe it's too challenging?

Tip: When approaching the Big Planet USE brute force to take out the turrets!

Oh, I forgot to mention those double barrel turrets can be disabled by using snipers! but not the small turrets!

I might reupload it and nerf the turrets on the Planet to make it easier to push up on the Mutated Creeper

QuoteYou have 4 terps in the map

That's not the point. Adding more terps wouldn't make this map any easier, but they would make it shorter. "Challenging" isn't the same thing as "Time-consuming".

Consider the idea of climbing Mt. Everest - that's like doing a Jason Stevens map. Actually really challenging, and few people can do it.
Now consider the idea of walking 400 miles - that's like doing this map. Not as challenging and just about anyone can actually do it, but it will take a longer time. So few people will do it.

To be honest, I decided to give myself unlimited terps on this map. I rarely bypass a map's limits - but this one... well, I felt it had to be done. It didn't make the map less challenging, it just made it take less time.

This map isn't too difficult, it's just waaaay too long. While most maps are more like going on a date, this is like getting married and watching your grandchildren graduate from Med School.

BUT - having said that - the mechanics of this map and the visual design are really, really cool. The guns and the Pit of Angry Vantablack in the middle are actually tougher-than-average enemies, and that was very enjoyable. When I finally got to them. The flying things were decent - kinda like a small kid hovering around your box of cookies. He's easy to kill er... deal with, but if you don't watch out he'll take a cookie or two. Nice spores too... they keep ya on your toes!

So the worst idea in this map is the limited terps... everything else is pretty great. Excellent work, dude.

Thanks for the map!  ;D
