How do you get the roach queens in a killable spot without flooding the areas that get closed off with roaches? I just can't figure it out! I've tried all sorts of timings and nothing works! Could someone give me a hint? A solution? Anything?

I tried that but I can't get the tar to stop them on both sides; the roaches spawn too much! Could you give me some more details?

I just manipulated the queens so that the rightmost one was at #1 in this picture when the tar had expanded to that point, so they stopped there.



I have a demo saved if you really need it, but try a bit more first.

Game on,

I hadn't really found a way to guarantee that the snake dies without leaving tar babies except for doing various trial and error. If it doesn't work one time, try it again. Eventually you'll kill the snake perfectly, then you quickly save and continue on. Hope this helps!

yet another problem. I can kill the snake, tar mother, roaches, etc with no problem. But those roach queens, now there's a problem. How do I get them to move up out of the traps before I close the doors?

Argh. I am having difficulties with the roach queen section.

Anyway, I just figured out how to avoid trapping the queens and the roaches, but the problem is that by the time I get the queens in their places, the tar has expanded over the cage boundary and then gets inside the cage, creating tar babies. No matter how fast I go, I can't cut the tar. And it wouldn't matter, it'd just expand out of the other corner anyway.

Help? I can kill the serpent just fine, it's a lot more intuitive.

EDIT

In the spirit of getting the answer after posting, erm, I did.

I must say I haven't played this room for years, but here's a hint:
I have a demo if you really need it, but perhaps you can think about the room first?

What about the challenge of killing the tar mother before it grows 3 turns, and then clearing the room in that state?

A demo would be nice.
