Wait, I got 815 kills? I JUST broke 200... I think they DID count the ally soldier kills in the end. :P Either way, I'm not complaining because I got the badge. xD
Do not buy soldiers if you want the badge. They steal all your kills. The badge says that ally soldier kills don't count, but it doesn't say that it becomes nearly impossible to get the 250 kills because they kill dinosaurs before they even reach you. They do make you survive very long though if you want that.
Do yourself a favor and play speedrun on easy. One level and you get the easy badge. Otherwise you'll play the game for half an hour on medium and die on level 6 (final level) and don't get the badge.
I got the badge in 8 minutes. It's a skill based medium badge vs a medium badge that takes about an hour but is easy to get. This could take 5 minutes or an hour depending on your skill.
It took me 3.5 hours to complete the game and get the medium badge because I was completing every level 100%. xD Tip: Just beat all 10 levels and THEN get all stars without getting hit on each level.
I reached wave 29 in survival and ended up with over 110k rubies and 32 clovers. The wave 30 boss is brutal! Kind of like the battle 30 boss before powering up more. They have the same difficulty jump from battle/wave 29. Good thing I have 40% chance to dodge him and if he does hit me, I have 50% chance it only does 15% damage. I really like how it's both turn based and action based because they attack in turns, but you don't have to make a choice to attack or not. You choose what skill you want to use, while he otherwise does a normal attack. It makes the game very active including the critical hit quick time action.
For the strength training, it's difficult to move your finger quickly between either up and down arrow or W and S. The solution is to use either WASD or arrow keys for 3 movements (horizontal movements and a single vertical movement) while using a single button on the other control scheme for the other vertical movement like ASD and up arrow or WAD and down arrow.
It's cool how the upgrades are enormous and the enemies constantly get much stronger and the money you earn also goes up exponentially. It would be nice to see the effect of the stronger gear when you buy it though. Now you'd have to check the stats before and after the purchase. Although the purchase will be worth it anyway.
I got 577 in critical. The trick is not to click too quickly or you may accidentally click when you should wait because you got used to clicking instantly before checking if you should click.
Just like people soft resetting their 3DS when they find a shiny Pokemon because they got used to soft resetting before checking if the Pokemon is even shiny or not.
