This is a seriously cool map idea. Props to you, warren!

Thankyou. This is definitely my best map ever. Well, "map".

Coolest thing EVER.

tho it's extremely hard.

This is an amazing map!

Like iwishforpie said, though, the majority of the maps turn out crazy hard, especially when there are multiple spore towers...

Hmm, Maybe I could nerf the spore towers based on the number generated in a hypothetical sequel. Myself, I focused on the maps that had the

Those

were interesting, for sure. Although rather annoying to get through.

It's fun to just repeatedly zoom in and see the chaos found there.

Very well done map/generator. Awesome actually...

Cool idea, I got an unsurvivable start, though.

And even with a better start I'm getting overwhelmed. Too tough for me.

warren · March 22, 2015, 11:11:51 PM

Unsurvivable, really. A design goal of the random map generator was to steer clear of impossible situations. This is particularly important given how tight the average difficulty is, impossible starts if not avoided could become common. Consequently, if you get an impossible start I want a screenshot for postmortem analysis.

Oops! I'm having so much playing this that I haven't been saving the unsurvivable ones - just restarting.
Do you want just a screenshot or the actual 'Saved Game'?

Well, the save game will probably be even more useful to avoiding the problems in the future.
