The first staircase goes down -- anyone can do that. But can you climb a staircase with a 1,000 intensity emitter?

I guess the answer is 'yes'. :)

Very nice score Timwi

[Kameeru]

This level is very hard for me! :(

[PHOENIX79]

I used a TON of drones and blasters.  Still took a while. But the drones seemed to work wonders.

WOW!  thats quite the set-up!

[Submerged06]

That is a nice set-up :).  I made around 10 or 15 mortars and then about a dozen or 15 blasters that  I just pushed up with, row by row.  I hate drones, so I didn't touch them :P.

Is anyone interested in seeing my set-up? If so, I'm happy to play the map again.

Please show me your set-up, because my set-up doen't work! :)

[Timwi]

OK, here's mine. Clearly I did better in my earlier game though! :)

Wow, just, wow Timwi...

[Kameeru]

Just amazing, Timwi! :) Thanks for showing your set-up! :)

[PHOENIX79]

THAT was ALOT of speed!!

[Timwi]

If you are planning to copy me, I recommend to have fewer speed units. They are probably the reason I did worse in this than the one where I set the record. There is a point at which they're no longer worth it. The screenshot does, however, show the important bits, which is (1) construct the quickest possible route for the energy packets; (2) don't use mortars, they're useless here; (3) you don't need too many blasters either, most of the work needs to be done by drones.
