I didn't find the things in the "Extras" menu until the last race, however I'd leave them locked until you actually finish the game. Otherwise, the game is too easy with the super nitro, or at least leave that one locked until you finish the game.
A couple things. 1) Training system is awful, enough said on that. 2) Since the battles are all automatic, why not an option to either skip battle or at least speed it up?
Well, it would be nice if I actually stood a chance to kill all the enemies in the last couple of levels to actually be able to get all 180 stars... Like stated, the Plasma Bombs level 25 can't even do the job.
Well, I played the game enough to write a review. I've finished everything except for the $750k achievement. That big boss was an ass an a half to gold star as well... Anyway, the review: Overall I felt the game was real good and well developed. It starts out difficult to gold star levels, and then as you buy upgrades they become gradually easier to gold star, which I like. One of my complaints is the dark "secret" levels, I'll use the big boss level as an example. There were units way up in the sky I couldn't see, and it prevented me from gold starring it a few times. Also, I think the $750k in the bank achievement should be lowered, 100 or 150 should be plenty. And then it just dawned on me you can sell all your upgrades and get the money that way, so I guess it's not so bad. Other than that, the game was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hey There! Thanks for the input on the achievement!!! We've lowered the required cash to 500K. This fix has been added in the updated version so refresh your browser! To get all upgrades you need more cash than that, so it should not require any extra grinding. The secret areas are intentionally harder than regular levels and the last boss level is a MEGA BOSS level. All upgrades are usually required, and sometimes you just have to get a little lucky :)
Even though the game isn't finished, it's still quite an impressive game. For being solely a flash racing game, this is easily one of the better ones I've played. The graphics are way better than I was expecting. The gameplay is also good, the controls are not frustrating to use, and they actually respond, unlike other games I've played. I'm more than interested in seeing what your "finished" product of this game is going to look like :)
So, I was sitting here this morning and I had an idea. How about implementing a level editor, and in the future have a Space is Key Levels Pack, for even more devilish and space bar mashing fun? I'm sure the players of this game could create some pretty devious things
Well, I'm stuck, literally. I've been trying to enter "The End" for the last 10 minutes, and if I suicide myself, I don't move back to town, I stay right here and continue to try and go to this "place." Here's a picture, http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8650/bugml.png
