Still improving... not too close from the leaders, but still trying to get there... When??? Not so important.
That game is really fun. I sometimes forget about the score, as long as I beat these creepers...

Keep up with these themes.

My solutions:

January 28, 1940:

(http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4882.0;attach=1545;image)

The SAM and OC would actually fly during the charging of the final totem.

October 28, 1955:

(http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4882.0;attach=1547;image)

More collectors were added to the bottom and the right. OC flies while charging the final totem.

August 30, 1930:

(http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4882.0;attach=1549;image)

The blaster clears just enough space to build the last collector. OC charges the final totem after landing in the creeper.

April 19, 1957:

(http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4882.0;attach=1551;image)

More collectors were added to the bottom and left. I forgot to display a drone that cleared the top right.

June 15, 1950:

(http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4882.0;attach=1553;image)

Mainland was covered by collectors. OC first flies down and then to the left to charge the final totem in the air.
