plasma cannon is the best cannon in the game. It has high range, damage, splash damage, piercing damage, and can hit air.
Build a bunch of plasma cannons and 1 seismic thumper. You'll easily beat the game. Nukes are fun to use too
got tired of trying to beat the last mission, so I went and created an Array Of Bytes for cheat engine for invincibility. If you don't know how to use it, google it.

wtf, last stage you have to fight a crazy bird + tons of little birds but there's no space to dodge his attack. After you kill it, you fight another crazy bird + tons of meteor shooting owls. Then you fight a boss that keeps changing with shit tons of HP. This game is impossible to beat on normal.
Also, the fully upgraded laser shooting gun does more dmg than the last gun, since the laser can hit several times.
artifacts bonus (+10% dmg, +10% speed, energy drain projectiles) ...... mega artifact bonus (+20% dmg, +50% shield, seeking projectiles) ...... after you get all mega artifacts, you can fight the final stage. The final stage has two parts. Part 1 you fight the 2nd and 3rd boss at the same time. Part 2 you fight the 1st and 4th boss at the same time. Afterwards, the end.
best weapons:
minelayer: 3 range + 1 xerox
grenade launcher: 2 range + 2 xerox
sun gun: 2 range + 2 xerox
Play as the guy in the trenchcoat. The minelayer is probably the most powerful weapon in the game in human hands. Once you put on 3 maxed range upgrades on it, the mines can reach the end of the screen. And you shoot so many mines and they sit there until something touches it. Put down mines everywhere on the screen. You can easily reach Day 40+ with just an upraded minelayer. The only thing that gets through are flyers, but flyers can easily be killed by your henchmen. The best way to get range upgrades is by dieing and replaying the 2nd day after you get the 3 mods, because you always get range upgrades on the 2nd day. If you don't have any xerox mods, use +fire rate. You can get tons of +fire rate by dieing and replaying day 1 over and over.
annie the witch is the best cost unit in the game. Have all witches + one healer. Near the end of the game, use only witches + battler healers. 1st item to buy is the death mask (+40 mattack). Then sorcerer orb (+2 attack range). Then the wizard's will (+50 mattack). The last boss has an attack range of 7, but there are 3 spots behind the trees that let you peak out and attack the boss, then you hide again. The boss can't move, so keep doing this until he dies.
last mission is too difficult. You have to sit there and end turn repeatedly so that you can have guys high enough lvl to beat the mission. It's stupid. And if they don't beat the mission, they die and you have to do it all over again.
there is no point in keeping the chicken gems. After a couple levels, you can easily find or buy better.
If anyone is just starting the game, don't kill the chickens. The gems are a huge disadvantage later on because you can't get rid of them and they serve no purpose except taking up space.
fix the boss fight please. That orb boss with the floating orbs will freeze your game after he dies. It's really annoying flying around trying to avoid killing him because the game freezes every time.
Well, I got all my ships 34500 distance+, but my game keeps crashing at around this point. Also, you need to have "Damage ignores shield" skill to survive past the 33000 mark, because the enemy's shields are too high and you can't damage through them. It's lame because once the skill is gone, you have no way of killing them. Even the support's shield drain isn't enough to drain the enemy's shields.
Cool strategy! Glad that you shared it.
