In a map where massive amounts of Anti-Creeper become massive amounts of Creeper sometimes the Dark Beam is not your friend. ;)

I may have enjoyed the map without the custom colors - but it was just a lot of randomness without reason...plus levels with a dark beam are flawed, IMO.

I beat it without using either dark beam in 5:58, Although I couldn't 'quench' the chain reaction I could get around it (and not the back way either).

Something about this map just makes me happy. I think I'm gonna make five more just like it. :P

Also:

Top score beat me by ONE SECOND, one! measly! second!. I've played it 20 times now trying to beat that time! :( Is there an exploit I don't know about? When you save and load do you get a few free frames or something? It's driving me crazy.

have you tried restarting the mission and pausing it from there?
you only got beaten by 0.1 seconds

...and how do you finish it in 26s?????

[Bongo]

I've tried everything dozens of times :*(

About the insane times.

Spoiler

The insane times are from pausing the game during the first frame, maxing out the Techs, and building everything at once. When I made the map I didn't know that you could 'quench' the chain reaction at the beginning with enough Dark Beams. You can run the Mirrors up the sides so the Beam goes back and forth and at least once vertically (close to the centre). The whole reaction stops by 15 seconds. Then you just have to wait for Nullifiers you built at the begging to kill the Emitters at the top and then use the Dark Beam to destroy the Creeper blocking the capsules.

this map is great! i've waited to comment on it til i gave it a load of tries, and i love it! good work bongo.
all of your maps are good, but often frustrating too! (this is also good, learning calmness after rage quitting is a good thing ;) )
