Simple small map with a twist. No storyline to hold you back from blasting
Pure Genius
Thanks
Am I missing something? Is there another way through, other than making launchers and waiting an hour?

Obviously, yes. :)

How is it possible? I can't use repulsers to push the middle block down, and using it on the right just makes the creeper explode, and shields don't seem to help. There's no ore on the map for makers. There's no experimentals so I can't use bombs or the lazer. The drones don't use anti-creeper, either. In fact, there's no anti-creeper available at all.
I can't move the LS through the creeper because of the solid walls.
There isn't a sneaky spriteset where diggable walls look like solid walls; I checked them all.
What am I missing??
At least 12 people figured it out, and I have no idea. Can I get a hint?
I did it in only 154 minutes. I have NO idea how it's possible to do it in less than 2 hours.
The LS is not the only thing that can move through creeper.
AH i got it! thanks =)
apparently I'm as thick as the creeper on this map....
what else can move through creeper? even if i can move a weapon through, i can't keep it charged.
spent a long time slowly going nowhere with repulsors, but was simply overwhelmed. any more hints? :-[
It ain't no fun if you don't have to think about it.
Light blue creeper is much thinner than dark blue creeper. Packets can travel through a square with creeper as long as the center cells are not blocked.
notice the tunnel, how it look wide enough for an energy packet?
:D
Great map.
(To make it better still adjust so that you the route difference only just prevents going the wrong way with full tech. I tried that first but quickly realised I would never make it)
Thanks for all the nice comments.
It really makes a world of difference in finding the motivation to start making the next map!
nicely done!
thanks for the help everyone--don't think i would have got there on my own
