What a poorly thought out game. Level 5 is much harder than the previous level. Ridiculously expensive upgrades for meagre bonuses that don't do much at all. 1/5
Here's what I did to get my last badge. Have max. amount of starting money. Buy the upgrade for the ship for $100 and buy the last pirate flag and the last treasure chest upgrade. Farm gold and then buy the $500 ship upgrade. Defeat first boss and them farm until you have $1250, immediately buy the last cannon upgrade. Farm until you can purchase the $2000 ship upgrade. Fight the 2nd boss and then continue farming. Farm until you have enough to buy the 2nd last pirate flag upgrade. Defeatthe final boss and buy the $5000 ship upgrade and then buy the $500 cannon upgrade. Finally, try to last long as you can. Avoid being surrounded. Aim to defeat the final boss a 2nd time. You'll be fine from there..
Ugh. Diviad's on Kong now..
I hope they don't add badges for this game. Played this game quite a bit on Facebook and I quit because the later levels were so shitty. (Blood diamonds became rather imperative). Don't want to go through all that frustration again.
Really needs a save game. I completed the game but didn't receive my badge. And then i refreshed the page, hoping that I'd get it then. Not going to replay the whole thing to get the badge. :(
Thanks!
