In iron mode it was just too easy... wtf, the bosses can be defeated in just seconds if using the secondary weapon... The bonuses are the only thing alike a good bullet hell... This one isn't really ability-based as Reactance, where even the easiest boss was a pain in the ass.

Nice game, but I think the game has lost it's spark. The upgrade coins and adrenaline system was what made the game unique. Although Frantic 3 has better graphics, I think Frantic 2 is better the sense of gameplay, having longer levels that has challenging bosses rather than short levels. The bullets in Frantic 2 also looked better. The timer that bosses has was unnecessary. Thanks for creating this though.

I'm playing with the interceptor, and I can buy and extra weapon slot and iaccesory slot just to the right of the last highlighted ones. Is it a bug? I'm playing now with 9 wp and 7 acc.

Still a nice game... But I prefered the second one. Nothing to unlock, no wingmen, no real weapon choice, no survival.. I expected way more after Frantic II :(

Loved the first two and this one looks great so far. Only complaint is that the store is laid out a bit confusingly. Aside from that, excellent shooter insanity.

I really like the soundtrack for this game! All of them has this sort of megaman-ish nostalgic feel like i heard them somewhere before

Bullethell? More like bullet blanket. Even on casual setting, once getting to area 4, you cannot go 2 secs without at least hearing a scrape. BTW, nice play and using "Through the Fire and Flames." Well played good sirs.

SERIOUSLY needs a "colorblind" mode. Past area 1, I can't tell my bullets from coins from enemy bullets (I obviously can if I look right at them, but looking right at *anything* means instant death, of course). Either that, or at the very least add a "hide coins" accessory. Otherwise, great game!

Another bug? you seem to be able to buy more weapons than slots. This goes for accessories as well. Screenshot here: http://i50.tinypic.com/30mlo4k.jpg

Is it just me or does the extra life (granted by accessory) have no invulnerability flash upon starting? In other words, when you loose your last life and start using the extra one you immediately die from the same area attack. This seems to be a bug. :) Otherwise 5/5 (I always hoped for a storyline though). GG.

Buy lasers/cannons ONLY. Especially with the Interceptor. Buying the same weapon for different slots dramatically increases the coverage area of your shots. If you do this with the Interceptor ship, your laser/cannon will cover over half the screen; and because bosses are huge, they get hit by almost ALL of the bullets. You can destroy minibosses in ~5 seconds (hold down secondary fire) with this.

A fun game but I've seen better bullet-hell type shooters. Personally I prefer my hitbox to be 1 pixel in bullet-hells and it's hard to tell what size the hitbox is. Not a bad game by any standards though I would like a little more clarity on what adding more of each gun/upgrading each gun does. It seems like the upgrades are purely damage but, for instance, on the wave gun adding more of them makes it shoot farther? Also I wish I could re-position the angles of fire of each gun. Still 4/5.

The person who did the music had some punk rock influence on the last stages, very nice! Only problem I have with this game is sometimes I get mixed up with bad circles and the yellow ones (coins)... but that is just me!! Fun game!

love the game! whew! only problem is what do I do with my excess gold, how come weapon upgrade is until level 3 only? :(

Is there any way to see how much power you are getting from overdrive drive? Or even how much longer the benefits lasts?

So I see these crazy little colorful orbs flying at me that all yell "death," but I don't think "Oh god, I'm going to die." no, the first thing I think is "hey, it looks like Jello."

So wait... the bosses just implode if I *dont* shoot them? strange. I am playing this on kamikaze AND frenzy and can beat everything through 3-1 including bonuses.

2 requests. Can there be a pause if you move the mouse out of the game screen, similar to the regular pause?
Second, can you allow weapons to be moved around on the shop menu? I had set up my weapons in a bad way and had to sell, rebuy, then reupgrade by entire arsenal in the order I wanted so my attacks worked better, very tedious, expensive, and annoying when a simple drag & drop mechanic would fix such an issue

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add auto-pause when you move the mouse off the screen! It's absolutely essential for any mouse-controlled shooter!

@Et3rnalLegend64: scraping area is the area around the green dot, your ships hitbox IS the green dot, the sprite is just there for show.

Sometimes I accidentally click outside the screen, causing me to lose some health. Maybe install an clickoutsidethescreen pause? Thanks a bunch.

To be honest, I know people are saying they are disappointed by this game... but I'm liking this game better than the previous 2. Not only that, I feel the music is better than the previous one as well. So I guess it's kinda weird, but I'm disagreeing with most people here. Great job!

Alright, the one problem I'm seeing here is that the tactician is far and away the best ship available. Why is that? To the left of a boss's health bar you'll see a little timer that counts down as you fight the boss. When it hits zero the boss loses a section of health automatically. It's just as easy to let them die than to try to kill them past the 1st or 2nd boss. Of course the limited # of weps that the tactician has is perfectly sufficient to kill off any enemies you'll face, especially due to the presence of the targeting lasers wep, and if you really want to try to kill off bosses yourself you just stack the + damage to bosses and + secondary damage attachments. There's no reason to use any other ship; a couple weps can't make up for everything the tactician has. Also, I'd like to see is a small circle around our hitbox to show us the zone in which we'll begin 'scraping' bullets; it's annoying to have to just guess while you're dodging all over the place.

I feel like the scrape area for bullets or the ship is smaller than the sprite. Not sure if it applies to all the ships, but I don't get registered when the edge of a bullet passes the edge of my ship

The scrape modifiers work. You just need to stay close to the bullets for long enough. There's a sound when they trigger.

The visuals aren't very user friendly. The blurred bullets of your own ship can be very tiring to the eye at boss fights.
