!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!
·sometimes it can kick you out telling that too many sprites spawned and here are advices to avoid this:
1. DO NOT blow up first hive until you have no blue card, and be sure to save before it. ( go left when you are arrived to reach hive ) try blowing up some eggs and only then these exploding barrels.
2. DO NOT blow up the reactor if first hive isn't blown up!
3. SAVE OFTENLY!
4. for the last case if it seems totally screwed -- you don't have to blow up anything except reactor and most upper level of Spire (you press button and 2 yellow barrels appear from the floor, blow up them to fing yellow key later. )
· Map has 3 differrnt exits:
-Kick da Queen
-fight a legion of ocrtabrains and escape on Fish-like alien ship
-Blow up submarine's reactor, and then escape in portal ( go down in area w/ hanging newbeasts )
*** builder notes ***
you may skip this part, no valuable info here...
... poor fish.. i tried so hard to make able player look throug its eyes, and did it unbuggy.. but in the end i discovered that i made something wrong and it is completely buggy outside ( see in build for detail )...
I tried to kick out 7 computers in starcraft, playing for Zerg and i noticed such structures like Lair and Spire and told myself " Why they are not in build yet?" and now they are! spire -- that spining structure outside Lair -- area just before queen
Perfect Circullar structure looks much more better than made by hands, and it really is.
if you place more than 4096 sprites build will probably hang
same goes for other limits
look into periscope in the beginning i find this "movie" cool
