Okay, /huargh/.


I can clear the cel with 1 fairly easily, and the entire top area of roaches. That's fine. But you can't go as low as the 2 row on any area, or the roach queens all flee, and you can't kill the roaches as fast as they make them at this point. Am I missing some stupidly easy trick for this?

I just did this room a couple of days ago. I actually found the top half of this room a lot easier than the bottom half





Hope that helps, I may have misunderstood where you are up to. Oh, and I'm also assuming that you haven't done the bottom part first - whichever one you do first is the easier.

×The reason I don't go left to right is that the marker at 1 is that that and the one to its left are cells you can clear without making the queens flee.

Perhaps that's the problem.

×And yes. I /know/ Queens can't spawn on yellow blocks, I've been trying to keep them there.

Sorry if my hint came out as a bit patronising. When I give hints, I tend to disclose the solution a bit too much, so I try to format the hint in question format instead, which discloses less directly, and makes the reader have to extrapolate the answer.
