Definitely too slow paced. It's unnecessary to zoom in on the ship currently shooting. Also having one click fire would help to streamline the gameplay.
I just managed to do level E16. Here's a link to the screenshot: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5056/pb2lvle16.jpg
Can't add any diamonds there, but this should help people get the badge anyway. First balance the pink block on top of the rotating block, then red block on top of it, middle blue, right blue and left blue is the last. Be quick and hope for the best :), I needed quite a lot of trials before I succeeded.
Didn't like it, but here's a little tip for your future games: Draw a box around the "Play" and "Next level" buttons, and make the whole box area clickable instead of only making the letters clickable. When I started, I first thought my browser/flash had frozen when I clicked between the letters and nothing happened :/. Another thing is that you should have some kind of instructions about how to proceed in the game. Something like "move up, while dodging objects". I spent my first minute on the first level thinking that I should just dodge objects and levels would change while time goes by :D.
At first I didn't like this at all, but after playing some time I have to say this is a pretty nice game except for the annoyingly repetitive music. I can't remember any other game where I'd actually had to use the mute button for that reason!
Am I the only one who thinks it's strange that a lieutenant is commanding a major? Anyway, the dialogue was funny though a little bit childish. The game was surprisingly easy even on hardest difficulty, but overall good job from the devs!
really nice game though my wrists hurt for playing this too much :D. It was actually quite easy to reach level 40 once I realized that typing a lot of short words with brass letters deals more damage than typing longer words.
Great game. Definitely the best point and click adventure I've ever played. Great graphics and animations, interesting but not too difficult puzzles and nice story too. All this created a really intense atmosphere which made me more immersed than any other flash game has ever made. For those who can't get the medium badge, just save your game after leaving the ship and then refresh your browser.
Nice game except than the catapult controls (arrow keys) are somewhat unresponsive. I always needed to tap them many times before the aim moved at all.
I agree with Zalt. Hasty defence is pretty fun and it's not to be taken so seriously, btw it's not that hard to endure 100+ waves with that option. Usually I get pretty balanced squads anyway.
