Really? Your own time on this map is  7:40 . I think this is a case of false advertising. :)

How you gonna call it a "hardcore" map when you literally put an emitter right next to the rift lab?

It starts as an AC emitter, but one boost turns it into a normal emitter. Just boost that and you'll win in under 6 minutes.

disable the walls so the AC moves away and you'll win in 3

There's another serious bug too.

When you have the "Boost" unit in hand to be placed, you add more creeper in the square where the mouse cursor is at a rate proportional to your total boost level.

There's no documentation, but I think that part is *intended* and how the level is meant to be played.

The bug?  It works when the game is paused.  It works 4 times as fast when the game is paused and the game speed is set to 4...

So, theoretically, if you want to sit there with the game paused to build up a crapload of creeper, you can win *even faster* in game time.  Boring as hell though.

Even without exploiting any of the bugs, this isn't hard, just cheesy. Literally fell asleep for the last ten minutes of it because all it boils down to is burning the massive AC in the base which is basically like ten minutes of holding your cursor at the wall.

There are alternate strategies, which is why my best time is barely over 10 minutes, so not waiting 10 minutes at the wall. :)
