If you watch the sample video at the end of the tutorial it gives you a nice idea of how insane the "high-end" of this game actually is. I still cannot figure out how to star hop like that.
At first it was a little tough, but then the learning curve hit and I love this game. I did happen to get my medium and hard badge all at once with one jump though :) But I guess thats how it gets once you improve your skills.
I think medium is a fine difficulty. I only failed one level (the first cloaked one) because I wasn't quite sure how to take care of them. Its also a matter of learning how to ration ammunition. Use a laser for half a mech's life and then pistol it down. Conserve ammo and shoot as soon as something comes on screen. Skill and reflex makes this easy enough to accomplish.
This is a nice simple fun game that is well made and entertaining. It may lack originality, but not everyone can/does make a new genre of game each try. 4/5 :)
Well, got to lvl 16, didnt have anywhere near enough shields to deal with the randomspawn/explosions. I don't feel like restarting and im sick on seeing continue. Will not be going for the hard badge.
I really like the music on this one. Nice addition to the first game, and i agree that there wasn't much to be improved. I turned off the story mode because it is interesting enough as it is. :)
