Blue Diamonds cost you -500 points but you might need to take some anyways, this map is a fast start.

Let me know if you find a way to finish it without taking any gems. I could not.

[Someone]

oh my gosh,isnt this the great map maker who make a lot of hard and good map then gone for a very long time???

welcome back

[Someone]

btw,to solve it without gem,repulsor and launcher is your best friend

my time maybe not so good,but with the hint,maybe you guys can get it better

[PeterPower]

Thanks for the compliment, Someone :) but I might only be back for the holidays...
I tried your Repulsor idea and it worked quite well. I managed to hold off until about 3 minutes until I had to take the first gem. I tried so many times to do it with no gems but all ended in spectacular destruction. Hahaha. Here are two pics using the repulsors


You can see on the left the 2 shields have ONE packet left JUST IN TIME before the creeper arrived!


Here again I avoided extinction by seconds, but I lost my top right repulser.

[Someone]

this is how got it >_<

[moll]

my advice: no repulsor and at the beginning take your shields downwards(one line under the diamonds at the bottom). hf
