Hey, I'm just curious. If aojam is out there somewhere...how did you do it in 7 minutes? Or really, pretty much anyone who did it under 10. I want to know what kind of strategies work on this map that I didn't think of.

Build lots of energy and start moving up the right side ... at least that's what I tried  ;)

Go up the right as fast as possible. Grab the Conversion Bombs. use them to destroy the dense creeper pools in the lower part. Dig to the Experimatals, grab the Dark Beam and the mirrors. Build 2 dark beams in the lower part -  one to aim at the gateway, the other to put up a barrier around the gateway so you can put a nullifier adjacent to the gateway.

Build a 3rd dark beam to fence off the top gateway. Use Conversion bombs and the Anti-Creeper in the upper right  to neutralize the pools in the right  sector.   Profit. :)

This was a fun map!
I'm just getting used to the new Creeper world (new to me) and can;t even begin to match the fast players,. but I do love a fun map!

P.S. this map taught me you can De-activate a portal!

...turn it off rather than destroy it when the drones get to close... nice!
