I tried playing this game with melee combat and it was impossible. 2nd time around I used 6 catapults with a few dwarven infantry to protect them and the game was simple. I never lost a single unit the entire game. 5/5
Hard Badge Hints: Z Key Toggles Auto Fire. Select Pause at top right to restart from last checkpoint. Restart First 4 levels if you are not killing the enemies before they get to your ship. Sell Fighter Bay initially to make it easier to hit the incoming ships (they will fly straight). Only shoot incoming meteors after all ships on the screen have been killed. Get 2 fighter bays with +1 # of fighters before first wave of mines come. Get all 4 fighter bays with + 1 # of fighters before level 8 mines come. Good luck getting badge!
Game gets 5/5. It is not the programmers fault that Kongregate chose to put an extremely hard badge on this game.
Upgrade Order (Hard Mode):
1. Sell Fighter Bay (makes aiming easy)
2. Gun Fire Rate 1
3. Gun Damage Max
4. Gun Fire Rate 3
5. Cheapest Repair Drone until Cheapest is 300
* * BEAT SNAKE * *
6. Add Fighter Bays plus 1 # of Fighter upgrade to help get past mines
7. Gun Fire Rate Max
8. Add Turrets (middle, then back, then front)
9. Gun Speed Max (Can be done a little earlier)
10. Get All Fighter Bays with + 1 # of fighters to get past more mines
Good Luck! Hope this helps. Repost this if it helps you get the hard badge.
Fun game. Since the main gun has to fire long distances, it needs to be able to be upgraded to multiple shots instead of one straight beam. Upgrades to dual or triple cannons, or spread fire. I will wait to finish the game on hard before final rating, but it will be at least 4/5.
