So, the top advice on this page is kind of rubbish. Two things made me play this game quite a bit better, at least in normal difficulty. First: Remember, everything you do not upgrade is recyclable for a FULL refund. Second: Waves come from the edge of the map and are not too quick. Together, these two facts make the game way easier. All you have to do is react to where each wave of enemies is coming from and build out lasers toward them, kill the enemy, then recycle and build in the direction that the next wave is coming. As long as you put repair stations with the lasers(which get a full refund as well) then you can sell everything back. The one time you have to vary this strategy is that you have to set up thel lasers to get mother ships. I beat every mining mission without using missile launchers and almost no laser upgrades using this strategy. You can even use this strategy to spam miners around each asteroid then sell them when enemies are coming and you need funds.

The reason I love this game so much is because it puts a very different spin and flavor to the Tower Defense genre; nothing is on a track, everything is freeform, you have to think more creatively on how to deal with each oncoming threat. Yet at the same time, there's a sense of ambience, even when you're in battle; you can play this to relax even though it's an action kind of game. :D This game's a masterpiece, and I've made a private resolve to obtain that 60-point badge in time. :'D
By the way, two THELs wiped up a fleet of 15 Motherships without a hitch. :O You shouldn't underrate them.

So lets get this straight. Easy Badge - 100k ppl. Medium badge - 25k ppl. Hard badge - 6k people. Impossible badge - 3k people. Medium badge is 4x harder than easy. Hard badge is 4x harder than medium. Impossible is 2x harder than hard... Unless your totally addicted to this. My best bet is to stop at the med. badge o_o. Rate up if you agree with me.

i think it would be nice if you made it to where, on some levels, you have to fend off enemy ships, as well as launching your own ships at enemy bases...iunno.. just an idea

It's really upsetting when you lose because the THELs don't know how to aim at the motherships when there are exploders around.

I am sorry to say this but I am completely disappointed in this game...Very repetitive, hard to understand and gets boring very quickly... I will rate it 2/5.

Casual Collective is down for the moment. Please hold on. It should be back up soon. Some scheduled maintenance is taking place on all the games. Bug issues are being fixed along with the Minions maps.

I would like to see some sort of target priority system added, so certain defenses target certain ships to avoid energy issues. For example, set THELs to avoid swarmers and fighters.

Excellent game, one of the more unique ones. Well thought out and designed, though I would like to see more tower types. Difficulty levels, of course, are always a plus, and the wide variety of missions appeal to all varieties of gamers. One issue I'd like to bring up though, is that this game has extreme compatibility issues with Firefox on the Mac OS X. However, this problem, while annoying, is easily sidestepped by using a different browser. I would put this issue on your "to fix" list though. I actually really enjoyed the difficulty curve. This was a game that provided you with a real challenge that made you strategize and think, "How much to mine before I build defenses? What if I run out of energy?" etc. This made it far superior to any TD game out there. Just my two cents. All in all, this game seemed well-polished and deserves a solid 4.5/5.

btw a little tip, in levels where the enemy isnt targeting a specific target, but your entire base, you can easily delay mother ships by building lots of energy relays, they will keep attacking the cheap relays and not make any damage to your base, while you kill them with rockets.

Great game, liked it very much, had to study a lot to succeed, 5/5.
Biggest problems made weapon 2 and defence 3, also on normal level. didn't had problems to get the other missions, also not often on the crazy level. finally i also succeded in the other two on crazy level, but this was really hard. some hints: build after pressing pause to save time before the first wave comes. Don't use THELs or die because you run out of energy. make a plan of what you build where and how expensive it is wrt how much minerals you have. don't upgrade everything, some things are cheaper to make more of them without. use the missiles just for the motherships and place them where the motherships come standing if they attack your object. You loose minerals if you recycle upgraded things. don't upgrade miners, they finish their work like this or this, for the missions where you have to miner an given amount, its an advantage to miner slowly to get just 1 wave at the time.
i hope this is useful for you.

I love this game. Wide array of mission types so it gives all kinds of gamers a chance. Pity I suck. (Struggle to complete even some normal difficulty missions. :/ 5/5

this is a sw33t game. you have to know how to play it inside and out in order to go past the "warp" mission on normal difficulty... super awesome game.
