Oh, you are so evil, changing the creeper colour like that.

Question: How are you making the terrain-shaped sprites? I can't find any way to produce an image on a graph so precisely.

[MadMag]

Me like evil  ;D

Answer: Take a screenshot of the map and import it into your favorite image editor (Photoshop or GiMP would be the best) and just trace the part of the terrain you want to make a sprite out of, then copy that part into a 64x64, 128x128 or 256x256 transparent .png. I hope that did answer your question, if not I`m happy to help more when we meet in chat.

Well, that's very obvious. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!

Wow! This is one amazing game.
It wasn't until about the last 10 minutes that I figured out how in the <blank> to finish it up, but it was fun all the way through. I was saving about every 30 seconds - thankfully - because there were multiple re-starts.

Very nicely done.

Glad you like it!
Thanks.

Sorry MM - I'm going to have to agree. This is pretty much perfect. No one's done anything like this so far, unless I'm being stupid.

Forgot to mention Kaptain Cirk - cool cat.

@Clean0nion: Thanks!
@Helper: Her name is Skyline :)

Took me one restart to get a feel for the things in the starting area.

Great map! Your attention to detail and all the graphic extras make your maps very interesting.

Love the big spaceship hovering in the background. Looked ominous. I think I blew him up. I'm not sure if he was actually doing anything.

[MadMag]

Thanks!
The ship in the background was just eyecandy, but yes you can blow it up :)

I actually had to import the map into WE in order to find out what Z-position is behind the terrain. Tried 1, 50, 40, 100, 2147. It was 3.
