The circle should be more resembling what you're playing in my opinion
(SGCMD for example) and a place where you can see how long until the song is over would be nice. anyway, great game
for all the people who liked the old style better: there is a tiny sorta sequence in the old style you might not have played yet, just google "shift 2 mini adventure" (took me a while to find the damn thing, not knowing it existed)
I don't see wath all the fuz is about, seeing completing the levels is not That hard. (appart from the last lvl)
Completing them WITH a medal however... WOW
aargh I already tought the medium badge (for cleaning the 20 lvls) was way to hard, why didn't I read the description about the codes under the badge name :(
Towards the end I actually started forseeing what would happen instead of going around and hoping it would work out well! (it took me a half hour strugling on the same level before i changed my strategy tough :( ) great game 5/5
I think the best way to get to level 30/40 is go directly to a flag hold space, don't move until the wave is defeated. then go to the next flag etc (try to get an extra flag if possible between the waves.
The firs waves will be difficult, but if you're still alive at wave 16 (at best you have 15 power and 16 rate) then keep on doing it and the rest wil be easy.
If you do it by this strategy it is best to have always one more rate than power (and 0 speed)
NOTE: try to get the bad placed flags (most left) on weak waves; and find a good spot for the hard waves
also: while you are at the upper left flag a lot of the fingers firering will be stuck on the corners and can often still be hit
