Got gyped out of the middle two badges. Beat the game and upgraded everything and never got the Super Ship badge (but I did get the achievement) And I upgraded to the AWESOME Ending and still didn't get the badges.
If you cant win this on hard you fail. This is the easiest DTD game I have ever played. Just make sure your last row of your maze is transporter towers, and have a bunch of upgraded Boss Towers and no problems. Finished Hard with 6.5mill points.
