the concept seems nice but I would LOVE to just understand something (anything) in this game; I can't see what I'm doing, I have no clues about what the upgrades are about while the enemy knows everything and only has to focus on my ship (is that a ship)
BOTD is about killing the evil sun ... WHAT is that thing ?

If you can't figure this game out on your first couple of tries you are bad at video games. Upgrade yourself first, cannon and triple shot while staying close. This allows you to collect money. then upgrade your allies and take the fight out to the enemy. Your allies will get any stragglers while you kill the orbs. It's a pretty easy game, although not very satisfying as the shooting is basically dumb luck not skill

I can't stand this game. I've tried the two suggested strategies, of staying near the base and of upgrading allies, several times and keep getting overwhelmed. I hate that the pause is disabled if the ship is destroyed, since I inevitably respawn into a cloud of enemies that immediately destroy me again. Horrible choice for BOTD.

Well made game. It's a shame it's unplayable seeing as how you've scaled it to be beat in only one way. I'm not sifting through your mess to find a single working strategy, it's boring. I'm bored. If I buy shield upgrades, then I should be able to at least stay near the yellow orbs, but no. You designed it to not matter that I upgrade my shields, because I'm still fodder caught in a hurricane of bullets. That's frustrating, not fun. I tried cannon upgrades. Nope, same problem. It doesn't make sense to put anything into assisting ships, because eventually, they can't protect the base and I know they can't stand the onslaught I'm trying to fly through. It's pointless and I'm through with it. Art, music, mechanics, style and components in general all great quality. It has charisma and charm, despite my problems playing it.

Camp near the base destroying enemies until you have full cannon upgrades and triple shot (read: to hit anything) and a couple shields. As long as you boringly babysit the base to keep it from taking heavy damage, you'll be fine. You need some engine upgrades to kill the regenerating yellow spheres. The winning formula is to farm those enemies. Once you have most of the weapon upgrades, everything will go down fast.

A good word of advice, try to keep your allied units at least 2 upgrades ahead of the enemies. Do that, and you won't have to worry as much about their units. I beat the game with:
Ally Level: Max
Gun Level: 4
Shield Level: 3
Engine Level: 2
And I didn't unlock any of the bonus items that cost 120 each.

How I usually get my kills for ether and save my space station is that I go near the enemy base,keep note that it orbits your space station, and I aggro the enemies. I Strafe and shoot them down then upgrade if I have enough. Wash, rinse, repeat/ It makes the game easier and saves your space station from suffering too much

i really don't know how people enjoy this game. I am struggling to get the easy badge. 1. you don't get ether from the enemies the space station kills, so it is pointless trying to kill them when you get nothing from not getting the last hit. 2. the enemies are way too fast to even hit, if they were a lot/bit slower, perhaps i can actually hit them with better accuracy. 3. upgrades/health bars for the space station, because it's rather hard as it is, but no need if you could actually hit the enemies properly.

This was an amazing game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. I'm thinking of trying to get all the upgrades first before going after the evil red sun or the yellow (what I can assume to be) secondary evil stars. The smart missiles were a must have to go straight for the yellow secondary evil stars so the missiles could attack minor baddies. I just focused all fire on the yellow secondary evil stars and my allies pumped all they could into the red evil sun as well as my ship. Upgrading allies and cannons will really help in defeating the enemies. Your shield is imperative as well. The engine is helpful for keeping up with the enemies so you can keep attacking and you wouldn't be left behind the group. Overall I could play this game over and over again day after day. 10/10 IGN would rate

Total score 25853. Beat the game in less then 3minutes. Upgraded my cannon 3x, shield 3x and triple shot. Fun little game.

A few tips: first off, stay near the evil sun, but out of range of the orbiters. This increases your gain of ether while protecting the station from harm, as the enemy units will become focused on you. Secondly, get the smart missiles early, while upgrading friendly units alongside the enemy. Whenever the enemy upgrades, upgrade friendlies. Using these two tips, you should have no problem beating the game without any harm befalling the space station.

The only way I was able to win was to max out the alleid units very early so the base could defend itself, then I purchased the missiles and then I kept farming (which was easier thanks to the missiles). And sometimes I was able to kill some big orb and I the end I won ^^.
