I got the hard badge in 2 days. Here is what you need to do
1) skill 1 point into all 3 launcher talents + fuel tank
2) hope that you get a lucky launch, so that you can buy a max radar + drain talents in the next run. If not, restart
3) Keep hitting platforms. The multiplier is crazy overtuned. The drain talents help you stay in the air, while you use the little fuel to navigate platforms.
4) try to hit purple > yellow > green > blue platforms in order.
5) Should you not be able to hit Mars by that run, keep skilling drain talents + fuel tank/boosters.
THE LAUNCHER IS USELESS! You only want to skill it early to get some better earning potential on your first day.
Easiest way to win
1) get mana regen asap, don't invest in initial mana
2) get Gryphons for easy early power for only 50 mana
3) get lightning turrets
4) get dragons
In combat:
- Skill mana first while pushing out gryphons on cooldown
- get the inital two upgrades for every stat
- replace the Gryffon spam with Dragon spam
- place turrets
- keep dragons queued and go afk
