Backed into a corner with little hope, can you counterattack and take down the emitter ? ( Thanks to my stupidity nullifying the emitter won't actually clear the slip emitters, but ehhh )

Really good map, considering there is only one emitter to take it is very challenging.

I got excited when I saw "cornered".

This isn't cornered. This is surrounded. Cornered would be a situation with enemies in front of you and/or to the sides and two walls behind you which form approximately an angle significantly less than 180 degrees. Otherwise you'd just be backed up against a wall. If the angle measured less than 90 degrees, you'd likely just be pinned.

I'll have to wait until the disappointment from not having my precious, comforting corner behind me passes.

=D

The map name is "Crippled". I do have a Cornered map too, and yes I used cornered wrong there. If you're referring to the description, yeah I was wrong. English isn't my first language. Thanks for the input.

Ah, I clicked on the wrong one! Sorry about that.

And no worries about your English. I was just mostly being silly about the term anyway. Your English is really good, especially for being a second, third, or whatever language. It's a weird, inconsistent language and no one knows how to pronounce it right except for some AI bot-girl on YouTube, lol.

Keep making cool maps and I promise not to care about what you call them 😜

Decided to give this map a try since only about 1/10 of players who've downloaded it have managed to win. That usually means it's going to be a good challenge, and I like that.

As others have mentioned, it would be easy to underestimate the difficulty of this map considering:
1) There are no spores
2) There are no runners
3) There is only ONE emitter (!)

Since there's only one emitter there's an obvious shortcut but I decided to play this through as intended, and it was definitely a good battle. I especially like the design of the fort, or temple, or city, or whatever it's designed to be. Good job with that - I know it was likely a good bit of work.

Great job setting up this map and being creative about making it a good challenge - Nicely done!

Thanks for the map! =)
