edit/ update.
Well I got mad at the game and so determined to beat it into submission. I finished all the levels, 21 of them if I remember, and it was annoying, and farming was necessary, and the payoff was pointless. I guess I am expecting too much from a free internet game. k. bye.
The A1 is hitting me 11, 13, 15 times per game with specials: scanners; plasma; airflights; multiple missile volleys; torpedos; and so-on.
That costs more than can be earned in multiple games of farming - plus it's extremely tedious, and if I lose that game after spending so long saving up to purchase afraction of what the A1 can use every single game - I lose the weapons.
The graphics are nice, the music and sound effects are nice - the gameplay sucks... 1/5.
Games are supposed to be fun - not so fukkin tedious that it's a chore, and impossible to beat. BTW I made it to level 16 and I'm so sick of the inequity of force that I wonder wtf I even tried to get this far.
brb reevaluating my life. k. bye. stupid game.
