I played for a while and never had yellow or green enemies. Then I finished the research and suddenly they are all over the place. It seems easier to not research the "offensive and defensive" traits at all. At least until you got lots of blueprints
I'd really like to see a swarm being created top-->bottom: starting with one really high unit and seeing how it fills up all the lower tiers. Maybe 1 of your highest tier survives the space trip? (or second to highest tier)
The beginnings are repetitive anyway :-P
About the mechanics: While rocketing you accelerate up to a max speed (set by your thrust lvl). While a ball you slowly decelerate.
To get money fast: get to the closest TV screens and choose kongpanions with "Coin Bonus". After that "Magnet".
Once your thrust lvl allows cruising at ~40mph you can go to infinity by accelerating to max once you drop below 25% top speed.
You spend hours grinding your way to the top and when you finally win against haddock, the cut scene is incomprehensible and the time to read the text too short.
You cant even repeat the scene...
Apparently it is better to send someone with 2 search and 3 meele to look for stuff than someone with 3 search and 2 meele...
that said it is pretty easy as long as you keep meele in the search group and don't let it get bigger than 3 ppl (in the end 4 is ok).
my party was found occasionaly but never a single one of them died!
save some money for level 25, when you get spread: the levels add on top of each other: 1st: the first row has 1 shot --> 2nd the first rows have 2,1 shots --> then 3-2-1 and starting at 4-3-2-1 you should only use bursts. If you go for endless mode your bullets are probably stronger than the pacifier!
Use the first 7-ish tiers (until you get red ones) to accumulate ~400 bullets.
In the later stages: just focus the most dangerous enemies and don't care about bullets, just run randomly back and forth, you'll stay at a proper level!
easy tactic for most tracks: stay behind an enemy car and just push it through the masses with boost. you will get a little damage, but your boost will be filled while using it if you pass another car!
the guys are just annoying. sometimes (especially when objects landed near a wall) they just dont want to pick them up anymore. Made level 12 a pain in the ass...
