you guys are kinda dicks, you rate the game well only if you can get the kongregate badges, something that has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself...
lol the game isnt supposed to be seen a regular game for everyone "saying oh it sucks!" it should be treated as a farce and rated/commented on accordingly
first time i played it i kept dying and beat it with 0 lives remaining, second time i beat it without dying, trick seems to be lvl up blue cannon, im not sure if weapon goes higher than lvl 10 but i kept switching weapons at that point to test which one is better, multi- bluelaser thing is the best. I think if you can stay alive through the entire first level you can beat it easily without dying at all
