To get an easy win: start by getting about 2500 staring money, then buy lvl 2 ship upgrade and buy three of the loot upgrades and just kill enemies and collect their loot until first boss, then just defeat him and collect his loot and sell two of your loot upgrades. Then buy a lvl 4 weppons upgrade and a level 3 fire rate upgrade. and just kill the enemies and collect their loot until second boss, then, sell your loot upgrade and get a lvl 3 weppon upgrade and an lvl 3 speed upgrade and just defeat the boss. then just defeat the enemies and collect their loot and buy a ship lvl 3, then buy an lvl 1 balanced upgrade (or higher if u got enough money) and defeat the final boss.
you might wanna to change some upgrades yourself after what you are best with.
please keep this comment alive.
