wow way too hard man!
i like your series, i'm about a third through, and i though i'd give this a go.
wow
really
nothing! and so far from the capsule and so far from the tech
and it takes so long to get any where near ready to try for the tech that the creeper is unbeatable. i know this map is possible but it's clearly too hard look at the down votes.
perhaps a clue on how to get going? rememmber YOU know how to beat it. retrying 20 times to get frame/second perfect starts is very annoying.
still i'll retry a couple of times.

After I finished making this map, and tried to beat it so I could upload. It took me 1 try to beat it.

But here is how I did it:

Spoiler
Dig a path to the capsule. The shorter path, the better. Whilst waiting for said digging. Build 1-2 blasters in preparation. Once you have capsule, move said blasters to capsule area and start attacking the creeper. The less creeper that pools there. The better.

i did it but it was about 10 attempts to get the perfect build to have 5 blasters rocking then it was inevitable.
still loved the concept, but i'm not a fan of speed/perfection maps!
nice one one the whole story etc like it!
