The probabilities are way off: I missed 6 times in a row with 70% chance AFTER WHICH once with 95% chance as well. Hmmm... 0.3^6 x 0.05 = 0.000036 or 0.0036%. I hit after the 7th try too, so I doubt it was a glitch in the battle.
I could never ever get the hard badge when trying before, but today I decided to give the game another attempt, and got the hard badge on my first try. Being excited about the fact, I played the game about 5 more times and scored the impossible badge home too. I guess it might be overall improvement in reaction time, or just the ability to move calmly in the game. Really enjoyed it!
In order to kill Hyperion on my first try, this is the equipment I used (fully upgraded of course): Laser Hull4, SM: Shield, BM: Leech, 2 x Weapon: Rocket with homing and split, and 2 x Weapon: Laser with acid and homing. Save the bombs for the blue rocket parts and any part where you might possibly be in a pinch. Just stay at the bottom of the screen and move corresponding to the fire, and you should do fine. (:
I keep freezing after I click "View Track Leaderboards". It's a very nice thing especially when you're doing good on a map that you've played for ages and then you got to refresh the browser.
Am I the only one who, even though had destroyed all the 15 shadowdemons long time back, stayed with the game until I had gained every single upgrade and then owned the demons? Loved the game!
I think a nice and useful addition would be to show the health of all units during the whole duration of the battle on the top corners of the screen or another suitable place. This would help to easily compare and monitor the health of all units towards better strategy. Otherwise a really good game and an even better developer. 5/5!
I don't know how is this game supposed to be cleared on 'seriously hard' difficulty. I've tried more than 5 times to try to beat the game on that particular difficulty. After 50+ days it just gets impossible, people die out of no reason even though I have hospitals and the danger level rises to 70%. I have got everything required but no, I just can't beat it. Anybody got any good tips?
To get the hard badge I used the 2nd, 3rd and 4th very left side upgrade, the 4th gun upgrade and the 4th fire rate upgrade. To get above 30k points you pretty much have to kill the last boss three times (after you finish the last boss once its counter resets and it spawns again later) and survive around half way through towards the next boss repetition. Also, you got to have good starting money to get the upgrades quickly. In addition, the final boss is very easy if you stick to the very opposite site of the boss and avoid it's multi-lined fire just by a bit to clockwise direction and repeat this the whole boss fight. Finally, the tip for survival is just mainly focus on avoiding hits, not collecting gold - that's the magnet's job.
An easy way to get the hard badge:
As this achievement can be done after finishing the game and it has no time limit it's really simple to do. First buy all the good upgrades such as Fuel Tank, Engine and Fins, Booster isn't necessary. You should also have bough some of the upgrades below like the upgrades which reduce fuel consumption and air resistance. Anyway, back to the topic, the way to Ace up to 250kft. is simple, just try to avoid all the objects floating, this is easy by shutting down your engine right before you're going to hit an object. Avoid going to Booster's since it can launch you straight into an object. If you do, just shut your engine while it boosts you. The beginning can be tricky as you can't really see around you, just keep shutting your engine and you should be good. Another important thing is to keep and eye for fuel re-fills, as I'm not sure can you get up to 250kft. without getting them. If you have the Refuelling III achievement, you got no problems. Cheers!
After playing till 8000m, i lost, and i looked at my wall and it was wobbling and wavy. Game would be much more better with a little less special effects. By the way, wouldn't it be a much better roller coaster if the tracks were connected with each other?
hard badge is easier than the medium badges: before you kill the sky monkey or whatever it is, when you launch your cart, aim for the space ship and do 2x back vault while handstanding, then open the hang glider and don't release up button to hit with the bat, but keep it on so the points will continue coming even though you're in the battle with the monkey, when you got enough points, like 15k x 4 or above just "destroy" the hang glider by the bombs or the monkey's bananas and land safely+ you got the style multiplier with the cart and if you got groupies.
Ill add an option for that
