I am lost
What does N-key stand for ?

[Martin Gronsdal]

n - to play frame by frame. Pause the game and hit n, and you'll see.

thanks for playing

[Arno]

got it
quite helpful for micro managing

i'm still  helpless for this one though...
i've destroyed the inhibitor but the game is not finished

there are obviously tasks to perform before, but ...
no weapons but sprayer and no AC ...

[Martin Gronsdal]

well, it's a trick map, so yes, you have to make several things occur at the right moment to win. I'll keep the walkthrough for myself since I presume someone may crack the code by themselves.

anyway, many thanks for playing!

Ahhh a map for the all knowing in crowd. No clue for us regular folks.

[Martin Gronsdal]

where are you stuck?

[creepergirl]

Honestly, I haven't a clue from the start. I know you make amazing creative maps but I am just not privy to some of the strategies in these style maps.

[Martin Gronsdal]

There are many tricks in this one, so it would be taking you through the entire map...

[Johnny Haywire]

I think the biggest obstacle in most maps like this are the hidden "tricks" that are virtually impossible to know. Hidden mysterious objects that have to be attacked with a particular kind of weapon or fed creeper or AC.

IMO, it would not be a spoiler to put something in the game to at least point people in the right direction. As you've said, you don't remember your own tricks in older maps sometimes.

As for this one, I killed everything and collected everything there is to collect but apparently there's some mystery object to do something with.

If you remember what it is, I wouldn't mind knowing. =)

[Martin Gronsdal]

What do you mean virtually impossible to know? If you know my thoughts you know the tricks.

[Johnny Haywire]

I never said that I know your thoughts. What I said was that I often HEAR your thoughts in my head, but unfortunately the thoughts I hear are things like... Wait, no! If I say that they're going to come and take me to Guantanamo again.

Hmm... an alien shaped like a banana with poodles for arms and centipedes for legs eating a chocolate-covered hotdog. Um, is that your thought or someone else's?

Don't forget you are me, president Biden
