Hi!

Very well balanced puzzle map! It took me a few tries to find the solution. Clever demonstration of acting fast. Reminds me a bit of this map, Gorgon.

Oh i made it by useing the bug =(
( been trying to use the bug many times , but never worked for me before )

Don't post scores with the bug please....

This is clearly a puzzle to solve by thinking in a different (but fair) way.

If it possibel , i'm ok with that my score gets deleted .
It's made because of the bug , i moved the city , and it shouldnt be abel to .

IS this level only beatable using the bug?

UpperKEES · April 26, 2010, 05:56:08 PM

Nope, I've played fair & square. I assume Karsten did the same (with a great time btw, puzzles me....).

Any suggestions? I have tried everything I can think of.

I can tell you how I solved it (in my opinion the only solution, see attached image):

U nailed it! that's exactly how I finished it UpperKEES.
But I would like you to take down the solution so other people don't cheat ;)

UpperKEES · April 28, 2010, 05:39:56 PM

Done.

GVS · April 30, 2010, 05:28:33 PM

How I did it:

-Make one collector behind the speed diamond and one on other side of city
-Make 2 more collectors inline
-Make a SAM structure at the same time as collector row and deactivate before you start to run a deficit.
-Keep doing collectors and SAMs that way as short of a distance as possible and float SAMs in such a way that they link collectors together so you need one less collector to finish. (Don't link first totem yet)
-When you are done constructing the last SAM, make collector to link to the closest totem.
-When you get survival pod, make a collector there immediately so that it starts to build to the totem.

If you do this exactly perfect not wasting a 1/10th second you'll finish at 1:35. At 1:36 of course all hell breaks loose :P

At least I didn't "cheat" with this city moving bug. I tried testing that out but it won't work for me.

I also owned it easy with moving city, haha.
