This game needs something to work towards - like killing a boss at level 100. I think a badge would do that, but it'd be good to have some way to complete the game in the mean time.
To grind levels, find a one of the monsters that looks like a spiky condom and let him live, killing all the flying monsters he creates. Stand close to him and he'll make them faster.
Best way to win this game - Start it, then wait till it saves your progress, then go out and enjoy the sunshine (or work on the dungeon white tan in another game), then come back and play. Your bonus for not playing will be massive.
Best way to level up: Pump up training and leave your computer on overnight while training either Crit or dodge. You can then level your lil man up and win the game.
Careful what you spend your money on; you can't replay levels for money.
Also, if you didn't pick up much money in the level, consider suicide to replay to get the money. Otherwise you'll end up with not enough money later and won't be able to get the weapons needed to complete the game :(
The rounds are too long to be fun - people like earning upgrades. With rounds this long you are playing just to grind when you know you'll die towards the end of th eround and you can't do anything about it :(
At least you don't have to be present for the grind, just aim near the floor and go make a cupper.
To complete this really quickly, play until it starts to get hard to buy stuff regularly, then spend all your crystals on the craft item that costs 2. Just keep blowing the crystals for upgrades. The rest of the game will then be really easy.
