Awesome game, the only thing that sorta irks my perfectionist style of play is that Level 30 is two notches short of having full powerups (my poor luck!).
I acquired the easy badge on June 10th 2008 and I remember trying to get that hard badge for hours (best score 588). Played it two times today and got the hard badge on my second try. Thank you badge of the day =P
Awesome game, and I think it had the perfect points for leveling up, I ended up completely filling my throne room once I completed all the levels on gold, exactly the right amount. I kinda think the spells should be different somehow, like gemcraft where you can increase mana pool with a spell... if you use a spell too many times it costs 1550, which means you can't cast it anymore 5/5
