firestorm's glitch allows you to tab to the upgrade button. Hitting enter 3 times brings it to hypersonic, tab over to range, hit enter 3 times for 100 max range. Then wait till your money goes positive again and repeat.
Somehow hitting space to toss my gun got me to open a notepad document on my desktop in this window. This game is crap for all the bugs. As a 3rd in a series, it shouldn't have these problems.
Every single game with this camera and control combo ends up dragging. It's inefficient and easily lagged. Also, artistically speaking, this doesn't stand out in all of the shooters and even uses the same general alien look as so many others.
There is little that looks and feels "unique" about this game, so I can't say it's a 5 star game.
Game still is too static. That is to say, 1 jump will always make you jump the same height. 1 jump makes me not hit the platform, the second one puts me past the platform. Most "Run" genre games have duration of holding the click fluid with how high you jump. This alleviates iffy jumps and makes it feel fluid. Again feeding into that same issue is missing powerups. When I played this before, it was penalizing to miss a powerup. And you still miss a powerup or exp and just can't measure up at times. This is again fed by static jumps. I can undershoot it or overshoot it and be unable to actually hit it.
I honestly can't give this full stars, because honestly, static gameplay just isn't fun.
Also, the difficulty ramps up as you progress, which means your first run has no ground claw things until about 2500, but then if you lose and restart, they are at the beginning. Also would be nice to earn xp on kills instead of as a powerup and a variety of powerups other than spread. Large Bullets, homing bullets, back-wards fire, dual shot, etc. Heck laser would just be a sweep, but as a short powerup, would feel rewarding and fun to use.
There are a few bugs here and there. The Save and Exit doesn't work until you reload, but no worries, it auto-saves it seems. I can't seem to get achievements 180 and 181 and thus can't get 263. Turning off in-game audio and music with that switch doesn't seem to do it.
