There are a bunch of cheat weapons you can make and spam around your tank, leading to an easy game. For instance, weapons with max homing and fire rate are still cheap, so you can make a huge field of those around your tank, and you will be able to move around and blast enemies without even trying as long as you have enough energy.
The rightmost upgrade says "Increases thurst and reduces fuel consumption"...
Scientist: Aah, I'm getting kinda thirsty. *puts down controller to grab a drink*
Player: WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!
The battles guarding the "medal" places can be skipped by fleeing from battle, and then moving forward. That needs to be fixed by moving you back from the enemies so you can't go past them like that.
Edit: Are there actually any downsides for messing up the beat? I was playing it completely wrong (by doing in between intended beats) and I don't think I noticed any consequences for it.
(other than not getting a combo for kill mode)
