If the upgrade system got removed maybe this can worth a 4/5, but now it's 3/5 a bare pass. It's perfect as a time killer, but when we don't really want to kill time (want to enjoy or achieve something instead) this one will just make us give up fast, why waste our time on nothing?
Don't think those who complained about lags did wrong, just take a look at Mushroom Madness - for a game with this quality of graphics there should be no lags even on a 10yo oldie PC with 128 MB RAM and 1GHz cpu, but the fact is there ARE lags coz the developers didn't pre-load everything before game starts or did NOTHING to reduce loading time during game. MM has better graphics and a lot more objects in one scene yet running smoothly on my PC.
If this is just the same core of Crush the Castle, why don't you fix that existing lag problem before releasing this?
To check if you are having lag : click menu and see if the menu comes out smoothly.
BEATING LOKI: Use the Odin ship with the Excalibur weapon and dodge/shoot until "device overdrive" special is charged. Then abuse Odin's invulnerability to get to 200k chain so you score 50%+ bonus to special when invul wears off. Survive until you can fire special a second time. That last special should get you past him. To unlock Odin, beat lv20. To unlock excalibur, beat lv19 with only the first weapon (not as hard as it sounds with upgrades - if you need easy gold, play lv16 over and over). IF THIS HELPED COPY-PASTE AND KEEP IT ALIVE. Thanks for the comment
Noke28, yes and about 5 or 6 years ago a japanese flash game - or maybe many many more similar games years ago, cannon-shot-hit-objects, so I say we just get bored of this.
