What??  I beat this on the first try and I'm in the top half of the scores.  What's going on?

Sorry - but I think these maps are not well balenced: In the beginning a frustrating start, where you have to be lucky or do exactly the right things in the right order - often by luck, as it's not obvious  - and then a long battle without any challenges

I wouldn't say luck is much of a factor in these maps.  Both of them are a case of balancing buildup with keeping the creeper off your platform.  I found this one much pickier about how you defended it.  I do agree there's no challenge once you can expand, but that's how most maps go.

I agree with Loren on all points.
I've been playing Creeper World for many years. If players like Yum, Martin, Pastor, etc. didn't create their own maps, I would have lost the fun of it some time ago. After not making so many maps for a while, I started making maps myself to fight my boredom. This more for me than for others. So these maps reflect my taste. I'm not a professional game developer who has to sell something. Sometimes the maps are bad, sometimes a little better.
If I think another player might like the map I've created, I'll upload it. But most not. If you don't like mine - don't play these.

P.S. on this map you can secure the base with 3 cannons. That's not hard. And you never need luck with my cards.

Yup, lots of AC although by the time you get to them there isn't really a need for it.

a subtle hint: considering my blood pressure when playing your maps, it was really hard for me  ;D

I'd wish to see your wife looking at you, in disbelief, when you play this.

You may rest assured that the very same mechanics apply at my home!
