Upgraded my 2/5 to 5/5 since the timekeeping problems were mostly solved, meaning the glitches with past incartations changing their timing and movement despite no interactions seems to be gone. Nice game, and a very good one once this problem was solved.
I'll have to give it a 1/5, which will be upgraded to a 5/5 the second the allready mentioned problems about minot glitches sneaking in without interference with previous robots are fixed.
Just build only towers. You won't really loose them, meaning you have lots of money for the next level, where you buy more towers and loose even less... To easy.
The strategy is pretty simple: Aim for 45 degrees shot, full power. Buy thrust (as much as possible) and fire it off immediatly after you fire. Invest in skis, and use them as you near the water. Surplus money goes to freakys. Then buy creativity. Then powder. The trick is allways to aim for 45 degree (middle) and full power.
Was at 1450 kills on extreme when my nuke operators appearently went on strike. They simply refused to fire, even though the combo-countdown said 'combo: now', and there was enemies right next to them. Does nukes have a minimum range?
At extreme, I easily get to wave 125, the enemies doesn't even enter the screen, even if I have 2-3 waves active at a time. And then, from wave 125 and onwards (and that's not very long) the mobs just walk through my fire, and I'm dead by wave 129. The monsters gets extremely dangerous at that level.
I've received both badges without any problems. Would be nice if there was a way, in-game, to tell what combos have what effect, instead of having the help-page open in another window. Planning ahead is what tower defense is all about, and it is not really supported as it is now.
Oh well, avoidance isn't really my genre. Fair attempt at it, though, and I would definately have given it a better rating if I'd actually liked the genre.
So, I finished it once, and now I have to play through it again to get the badge. This sucks! Downgraded my score to 1/5 for that reason...
Ok, just kidding.
