@ DarkdaBeaverPG: You can click on the green node of "Odin City" to turn it off. That way you can connect all 3 totems, but still keep playing. The game is designed to always win if you go to Survival mode (by choice or time). As your energy manufacturing caps at 32, but the creeper output continues to grow, the best you can hope for is a survival time better than anyone else. Even those who play to connect all 3 totems quickly and leave, are letting the creeper take over the map after we leave. So in one way, the creeper always wins every map, either while we are playing or after we leave.
5/30 - 8:08 While I am one of the better players on the short puzzles, my times on these longer puzzles are far off from the big boys. When someone finishes today's puzzle in under 6 minutes, would you please post some strategies you employ? Thanks. (Still learning after all this time.)
hawk45: Thanks for giving me my once-in-a-while best time (or did you tie it?) on 5/25. Your solution on 5/26 once again shows me why you are the one to study. Amazing sir.
RealOldman: Most of my times were around 1:25. Once, I got the 1:20, never again. My energy management isn't as good as several others. On rare puzzles, I luck out a good time. hawk45 consistently amazes me with his time/energy control. I almost always go into the red.
Nanofield: There does seem to be a max speed possible. If you are going for survival or capping, build a few "red things". If you are going for fastest time, don't bother building and of them. Welcome to the game.
