A great adventure where brillant SORRONTIS crpl meet R.L. Stevenson and Peter Pan. Usual highly frustrating and awkward Kalek map with runners, spores, digitalis and grisly Sorrontis scripts this time... So, just rate it 1 and try an other one !

Just finished it. Was progressing ncely along, got the guppy tech and then realised:

Spoiler

There is a very easy platform from which to take out the boss emitter

Was this intentional? Seemed an easy end to an otherwise interesting map

Yes it is ; it comes with the guppy...

It's an easy end for you - Damned ! 16 minutes ! You're a Genius ! - but I think it's a cool end for ones who suffer a little more to get this @ø!§% guppy ...

Thanks for playing this.

In the matter of intent...

Spoiler

The top island doesn't need to be Nullified before getting the Guppy, as a Terp can flatten it...
This could a) prevent the surprise, and b) cause victory to be declared on what is now an unwinnable map (Emitter CRPLed into deep void).

Good map. I made mistakes with the Strafers, and it lost me the top CN spot. Still got it first time, but it made me think. Make more like this, please.

Note: A single Siphon is annoying, particularly when there is Aether going to waste, and the Singularity is disabled. (I am too stubborn to destroy the resource packs by any means but harvesting.)

Thanks for the message, glad you liked the map.
Of course a single siphon is annoying !! especially with all these ressources available :)

It's not the single Siphon itself, it's the resource packs that get in the may, and I can't use fast enough, or bring myself to delete.
