Desc:
Who is Platius? How did the war between his people and the Loki begin...how did it end? There are only partial answers in the game, this mission is the intro to my version of the backstory.

Please complete the Story mode of Creeper World before this series.

Alright, Cary, can you beat 1 min 54? LOL  Who would have thought that a map in which you only build collectors would be worth replaying LOL

I admire the sub-2 minute scores, but am scratching my head to figure them out.
Attached is an image showing the Creeper flow at 1:57, so the Collectors must use (must?) the island at the bottom - which can't (can't?) be bridged in less than 2 minutes.

Anyone care to enlighten this bumfuzzled player?
Thanks,

I've been wondering the same thing as DethbyIT...I honestly thought the only way to do it was a straight line of collectors to the bottom island.  Glad people are enjoying it, it was mainly designed to fit the story I had in my head  ;)

Ben -
One of the things I've learned is that some of the players here can figure out the impossible and play games in ways that no one else can.
This one does have me stumped though.

BTW - great series you've started. Definitely 5x5.

I posted a newer score now too.  Sometimes its fun just to try and find out ways to speed things up :)  With my latest score the totems were charged up before the bridge across the lower island was finished, so it is possible to scoot by the creeper early.

1:49 is the best, what i can do.

You need build temporary ways.
This ways will by destroyed, but will help you build way across the island at the bottom.

1:41 - congratulation.   :D  >:(

I see how it works now...not quite 1:41, but I'll settle for third for now  :)

Challenge accepted.  ;D
I still don't believe it.  :o

P.S.: Forget the island at the bottom.
