My own map with input from the Little Dude.

Great work guys, really great map. Thought I had an easy route to victory but some good surprises in there.

Evil day to launch it on though, if I go for a replay I am 100% divorced! Dare I say worth it??  :P

Wow! Way more of a fight than I was expecting, but doable.
Tough map, but felt good to finish it.
Hey to the Little Dude.

My original design was way too easy and I was able to get thru in about 30 minutes (15 for you guys). So we set about "toughening" it up and this is the result. I tried it again last night and this time it took me over 2 hours.  :P
Twas a sad day when we mothballed Creeper World for Particle Fleet.

Sitting here drumming my fingers wondering where the team has gone to.
Power outage maybe?

talking about lack of scores from the usual bunch?
if so in my case it's cos i just didn't like this one, but there no problems with it, so i didn't want to drag it down at all, but since you asked  ::)
the reason i'm not keen is it's too linear, i dislike being forced to follow a particular strategy, i like to be free to try a bunch of options, and i didn't get that feeling from this one. most of the others maps you dudes make are very free roaming, so i don't need to worry i think, if all your maps in future are limited, i'll tell you then! ;)
still good design and totally doable, just not my cup of tea! 8)

Nah...just wondering where the Thumbster and his little buddy Little Dude have gone.
No new maps from them in way too long.

Taking an extended Chinese New Year break. We have a bunch in the queue, so don't you worry about that.  8)

That's all my fault. The Little Dude wasn't keen on these kinds of maps either. But I just wanted to try something different. We'll be back to our usual programming soon.  ;D
