My first few goes, I thought this totally impossible!!
Spoiler
You can't beat the creeper on the right hand island - don't try!

I'm not even sure where to begin on this one then. There's nowhere to land a guppy. Even if I clear the creeper on the top island, I'm not sure where I go from there. If MG calls a trick "delicate" that probably means there's no way I'll figure it out :P
you can land on the island to the right

Yeah, I realized that right after I posted it. I'm not sure how Wease got that time though, you must have to have a very delicate balance of upgrades and units.

It's not so much the upgrades on this level, it's more about timing: how can you get the nullifier, without clearing the right island? :-)
Oh, I beat the level, my time was just closer to 30 minutes, that's all.

continuously built 6 sprayers at a time in the AC pool, enable the collection field, and immediately send them to the top island, and destroy them. Repeat until the creeper is gone, then just use guppies (1 at a time at the top) to build a collector network over to the inhibitor and nullify it. Send a few beams to kill any wayward spores too!
