Ah, but you can get your game from armor games onto here, you have to do it the old way, look at Tass Tips or the transfer .sol files discussion in the forum; just use the search bar.
One shouldn't rate games on whether or not they have achievements - that's not up to the developer but to us and Greg - we have to rate it high enough and Greg has to give it badges.
If you want an extra (11th) gold badge and upgrade points change the date on your computer to 2/14/09; you'll get the Valentine's version and the top island will be another level - easy level - if you don't know how, just click on the time in your system tray and change it.
This game is far from a mindless prod - there's plenty of strategy and thought that goes into getting the high scores; much more so than many other games found here.
term3186: that whole conversation was to show someone how the game was saved on their computer and not in their cookies. The method is not specific to this game, so it's good to know.
Lightshadow: the .sol file that store all game data for this site are not held in your cookies and deleting cookies will do nothing to your save game. To find out about .sol files and transferring them, where they are in Vista and XP, search the forum (use the search bar). There is a great thread there on the whole subject and how to transfer your files so your save game can be played here and on ArmorGames and other sites.
78 levels though 5 or so are guardian level and the last is gem of eternity, these don't have the modes. For supergem strategy:

If your gem start maxing out on speed before 279, then upgrade the gem a level (make a 5 into a 6). These are best as dual gems, and you have to have the firing speed skill maxed to get to 279. Range increases too.
The xp system isn't broken, it is working the same in this as it did in the first one. You guys really need to read some more about this game before complaining so much.
