to beat the final boss you must have lots of power-boosts and keep the spaceport in good condition. if half the buildings are gone before it appears, you have no chance of winning!

The ending of this game sucks. the whole thing is reasonably challenging, then you get to the end, in 10 seoconds, the boss has a shield up and you get "GAME OVER" - I'm sorry, I thought I was going to have a chance! At least let me start the level over, not go all the wayt back to the begining. Waste of time.

Just found this. It's very helpful. If everyone would read this, I think it would help people's opinions of the game. It's easy to feel lost otherwise.

couldnt win...
boss just owns you every time??
I had 3 of those "I" bullets and used em all on him, but didnt kill him, and then the spaceships got that shield around him...
then just got the ol' GAME OVER!
crap game.
2/5

This is a good concept with good art, but the slowness of the bullets kept me from having any fun playing it.
For anyone who's still stuck on the final boss, save up 3 of those "I" power ups that give you more powerful bullets, then concentrate fire on the boss. He died for me just after I activated the third "I". I found missiles and lasers to be of no help at all for that level.

This game is underrated. It's challenging, but the concept is so great. I do agree that the bullets could stand to be faster.

Using two powerups that look like an l, the boss was EZmode. I had an s left but I didn't even get to use it cause the two l's killed the mothership.

Maybe some updates have been done because honestly, the last boss is the easiest level in the game... For those curious, he's on level 15 and its smart to bring in a full compliment (all 3) of lasers and/or missiles.

Also agree with GnomeSkull - either make the final boss actually beatable... I had a good chunk of city left, and fired constantly at the boss as well as loosing a couple of lasers at it and hitting a mine or two, but it quickly blasted the central building and GAME OVER even though four or five buildings were still intact left and right... OR give the option of retry, starting the boss level with the buildings in the same state as when you first began it.
All in all, tried it twice, quite enjoy the game, but having to play the whole thing through again just to get to a boss that seems basically unbeatable (according to my own playing and the various reviews) is just to annoying to warrant doing it a third time.

Needs a level retry. I got to the last boss 3 times in a row, but couldn't defeat the boss. I'm not whining that the boss is too hard, just saying it's too time consuming and annoying having to repeat the same stuff that is easy just to get to the level I couldn't complete. Games shouldn't be tedious. I'll have to be really bored to try a 4th time. Badges aren't that important to me.

And for those of you dying on the final boss, it has a laser (apparently unblockable) that can destroy buildings instantly.

It's really very nice to see games like this that try to re-interpret the classics. There are so many clones and dodging games on Kongregate, it's great to see something with some thought and talent put into it. Don't fret the nay-sayers; unless it's HALO 3 they won't be satisfied. Keep it up!

wait, I just suffered through this POS game and had 5 buildings left when GAME OVER came across the screen...
You sir, owe me a badge for beating this worthless excuse for a game

I still dont like this game cuz the boss is retarded. I get he takes cities out in 1 shot but i had 4 cities left. Never stopped firin at him and drones... not worth trying a 3rd time. 2/5

i completed the game first try. easy-peasy. but as everyone is saying, should be game rules here or something like it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you don't explain the rules, don't expect people to understand them. Otherwise, same problem for me than everybody. I prevent the vessels to shield the mothership, but gameover cause no more town. Boring. No continue ? I quit !

I hate how most enemy shots can't be avoided. There's truly no way to stop yourself from taking damage. And as soon as I started the final fight, I quickly lost everything from his unstoppable laser. GAME OVER. How am I supposed to stop myself from getting blown up when I can't dodge or destroy enemy shots?

Same problem as taberone. All goin fine, reach the mothership, kickin it's ass. Then just "game over" for no apparent reason. Grrr
