Desc:
Well well, no submissions since "May the 4th be with You"
A break from playing and from the good but much-time-consuming authoring
Then some time from work and got this going
Yes its a typical 'me' map but as usual enjoyed playing imensely
For a Star Wars fan perhaps?
Borderline Expert, good luck.

Cool map Mr D.  ;D

But I'd rate it at the lower boundary of hard, rather than the upper. You appear to be going soft in your advanced age

Spoiler

every time you present the player with a problem, you leave the solution lying really close by.

This game is not dead yet by a long chalk...

Thank you 'Mr A'.

But:

But I'd rate it at the lower boundary of hard, rather than the upper.

As an author of maps* it is quite the task to rate one's own maps' difficulty rating and because you are not, I say you should  think before commenting on any author's rating.

I maintain this rating because, with its tricky start and timed to get to the middle (in order to obtain a decent score), then its problems all the way to the (quite annoying) end - requires a certain level of experience.

You obviously, make the misake of underestimating yourself as a (CW1) player - see map by 'Weesplat' entitled Sacred Halls.

Whereas i do not. (See my map Thor and the Slugs).

Also evident, in this case by the (to date) scores, where you and I are out in front with the likes of Saca - certainly no slouch (see my map Pink Think) languishing over 8 minutes behind us.

Also, I have to add, your comment (for some reason held in the Spoiler tab) is exactly why I rated this hard and not expert!

And in any case, isn't that the way of the great map makers of this game, the likes of bacura and Spiffen to name but two.

However,

This game is not dead yet by a long chalk...

I whole heartedly agree with you and if by some strange reason, because i referred to the fact there's a while since a map'd been submitted, i was inferring this game is "dead" then once again, you are very much mistaken.

Long live Creeper World One. Hurrah!

For anyone who fell into the trap of choosing the 'fire range' as their first upgrade thinking this to keep the relays in the first star.

Not necessary.

So it is likely you will improve your time with a build efficiency one instead.

Even better, select . . .
