Another "hive" unit added to the roster... Can be done much faster than my submission time.

First time through, I thought the diversity of the entities was interesting. Once you figure out how to deal with them, it's pretty straightforward.

I liked the path, and being able to nullify the emitters along the way, yet not required to do so, is cool.

So there I was just happily progressing when at the hour mark the flood of entities happened, my computer locked up, and I got thrown into a foreign prison with no hope of extradition. Well, it felt like that at least.

Seriously dude, ya gotta give a heads-up unless you're a reincarnation of Sorrontis. Some warning like, "If you move too slowly, the Hive will produce entities faster than your computer can process them and you will have to restart the game" would be very much appreciated. Most players are going to severely dislike starting and playing a game that becomes impossible to finish.

But it was fun enough to play through again, and with minimal micro you can still finish in around 30 minutes.

I really like what you're doing though. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the map! =)

I did not encounter this while playtesting but I will look into it. I have a feeling a certain lingering problem from the previous map is still there, which is the source of the lag (as opposed to what you're saying), but again I'll try to recreate the issue.

Okay, so I have no idea what causes this issue. Will try to debug for the next map though, I really want this gimmick to work.

Yanno, I realized I wasn't being very specific - guess I assumed it was intentional.

After about an hour, about a million of those things spawned and completely clogged the right side of the map. I thought it was some kind of a "You're Too Late!" bomb or something, lol.

There was no discernible lag at all until that happened.
