Well well, I make this game just for fun, and also show my respect to the original game maker. Actually it's kind of a challenge both for us developer and players I think.
Actually that pic had maybe a second delay in total in the pausing, etc...it was in the end 1:17. But I tried again, & got 1:16 a second time :). I think that's the minimum time...I did my best for absolutely zero delays anywhere, even using only 1x speed, & it was still 1:16.
Pic: Strategy = place the collectors like in the pic, turn off build & totem until odin touches down on the green square, pause right before it does, enable build, get upgrade panel open ASAP the moment you get the upgrade, get 10% more energy(after this all you need is to charge totem), close & press P IMMEDIATELY, enable totem, and unpause.
map 7(pressure) is the furthest I have gotten....and damn it was fun. HUGE battle between some blasters & launchers and that huuuge pool of creeper. Damn if there was an emitter there even only 50K power(AFAIK the level one's power) that level would be about 50x harder. I simply moved up, defeated the middle creeper, set up camp in the original room's top side, and rained hell on that creeper. DIE CREEPER! I AM AVENGING 500 BILLION HUMANS!!!! DIE!!!!(according to Training Sim...or was that 500 billion on the first....day?)
Furthermore, the way skills go up in this game at least so far is identical to GC0. 5 for 1st level, 4 for second, & I guess it goes 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. like GC0. Total copycat in the interface, lame gameplay, and laggy. 0/5 still & I am pissed off at it.
aaaah yes now i can see why fractal said that, after playing only 1 level: skill page similar, map almost identical, stats identical, hardly any strategy(just spam your ppl to everything in sight, wait to generate, slowly wipe out enemy, repeat) AND LOTS OF LAG. Now, I can run Gemcraft Chapter 0 with 5500 monsters on Map 78 with full RO farm & still be at 2.5 frames/sec....THIS game my cursor was lagging a LOT after playing ONE LEVEL. -_-
