level three in adventure show just how bad this game is. Pure luck and boring. too bad it is badge of the day so I "have to" play through it.

I would like to win this conquest badge but it's a little hard when there's no planes in the sky. And how on earth do you lose fuel being bounced around in the sky???
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
.... so I am in the middle of a combo (45 long so far) that was started almost as soon as I leveled .... and I ran out of fuel. How do I use fuel bouncing around in the air? Seems kinda dumb.

note to devs: i don't want to play a game hundreds of times in the hopes that one of those times the stars will align just perfectly for me to win. this game is like a really frustrating slot machine that never, ever, gives you money. 1/5

"Sir, the tank is ready," Says Col. Sanders "Should we run it with only a little fuel to reduce wear?" "Yes, Colonel." Replies General. "Okay, firing the motor in 3...2...1...Sta-"BOOOM!

This game was awful, I'm sorry. If it weren't for the badge of the day, I wouldn't have even bothered completing it, the final boss was THAT ridiculous.

After many attempts I finally earned the Xtreme Tanx badge. I found focusing on upgrading Bombers and Miners first, spreading any extra EXP I had each level on Bouncers and Gunners, and upgrading Seekers last worked best for me. The Seekers kept hitting me too high and I would miss many combo chances.

on enhanced mode, you should get experience while in the air. I'm always the air when i want to get onto the ground. I just end up dying with no gas

I HAD ONE MORE FREQUENCY TO BUY THEN I GOT THE ACHIEVEMENT. I ONLY NEEDED 100 POINTS. I WAS ON A 70 COMBO. AND I BLEW UP MID AIR BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF FUEL. I HATE THIS GAME.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
well you've done it again Kongregate. Another frustrating game for the BOD. I hated when Indestruct Tank part 1 was the BOD, but eventually got it...this one is just as annoying -_- thanks.

This would have been a 5 star game had it not been for running out of fuel midair and exploding on a huge combo! BOO 1 star for you!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Lost twice to exploding in mid-air plus the empty skys. Really weird and annoying after having almost everything upgraded and there is still empty skies.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
1 star...no balance...the indestructible tank will explode right in the middle of an epic combo. Makes no sense to use the precious gas whilst in the air!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Minor irritation: indestructable tank combusts after running out of flammable material. Major irritation: tanks combusts during the middle of a 104 combo. Just turn the engine off whilst in a combo, not difficult!

For people who are here for badge of the day - the easiest strategy is to always buy the cheapest planes. It might seem tempting buying those ground miners, but they're very expensive compared to the rest. By always buying the cheapest, you get the highest amount of stuff on the screen to score combos on, for the lowest possible price.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Badge of the Day tip: Buy bombers & bouncers to full, then gunners and a point of miners, then miners to about 5 or 6. After that, save up your points until you have a lot (I forget the #, but like 5k), then buy all remaining points in one go.
This is to help you control leveling and refueling: Too many seekers while you're airborne, or too many miners, and you won't land, so you'll run out of fuel, dying before leveling. You do need lots of stuff, though, to get big (& high) combos, but seekers are problematic, since they shoot upward.
And like the guy said: If you're high on fuel, keep the combo going as long as you can, to max the XP contribution to your NEXT level; only refuel (land) when necessary, if you can help it.

A tank that blows up when it runs out of fuel is pretty much totally destructible. It could just sit there and do nothing and still blow up. At least it's a Monday badge though and I can skip it and work on the other six for the week. But this game... LOW FUEL. Oh I ne.... BOOOOM!!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So...
Poor randomizer. There's way too much luck involved.
You shouldn't use fuel in air (at least when not moving)
Gain experience while airborne and perhaps an option through pause screen or other key to level up before hitting the ground.
Retry-hotkey, or at least a "Try again?" option on fail screen.
Persistent mute, including sfx. Also accessible through Settings in main menu.
Last but not least, a fixed - beatable - attack pattern for bosses.
These are improvements I bet everyone will agree upon.

BotD broken. Also... this game. THIS game. It is so frustrating! It is 90% luck, 9% rage and 1% skill. Also... indestructable tank you say? Guess it should self-destruct if out of fuel. That should really make it stronger.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why can't we upgrade the tank itself!? Like, surely we can upgrade the max fuel, reduce the speed of the fuel usage, increase aerodynamics, increase explosion magnitude... The list goes on!

Am I the only person who thinks the sound is one of the worst things about this game. It is extremely loud, you only can mute music and it gets demuted sometimes.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Devs apparently from Hollywood. Make sequel due to success. Sequel sucks. Difference between previous and 'enhanced' is? Pretty much nothing in terms of gameplay, except for some just-not-fancy graphical adjustments. Besides, there just is no mute option. Muting the music has to be done over and over every level/try. 1/5, didn't even try enjoying. Just came here for the 45 points.

I think the mechanics of this game are pretty interesting but it's highly unfair that, just because I can't hit the ground before that fuel goes away I need to lose. Seeker missiles put me at a disadvantage in this respect.

I didn't want to believe the top comments about dying while the exp bar was filling. However, that just happened to me two times in a row, and I can do nothing but agree with the criticism.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I was really looking forward to this, but i've been let down. The graphics are better? yea right man. And I run out of fuel mid-air? What is this? It's not a bad game but the first one was so much better than this. 4/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The moment....you have a sexy ass combo going...like you are hitting 40 combos...and you blow up cause you couldn't hit the ground because of all the goddamned planes T-T
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The adventure is total crap, the complete randomness takes away from all of the fun when you end up dying 1/2 a second into the level in a pit repeatedly, or the satellite boss just pushes you with the lasers 5 times in a row, shoots 1 missile, then shoots more lasers.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Fans: "We want a sequel." Devs: "We'll make a second, here's the plan: 1) Contract out the graphics work to a 2nd grader with some spare time, 2) Give less fuel, and almost zero fuel bonus for 50 hit combos, 3) remove the radar, 4) add a crappy storyline, 5) randomize the enemies so that you might go minutes without seeing them, 6) add holes in the ground and occasionally spawn the tank right into them. Hope you all enjoy~"

Well, that's one badge of the day that I am not going to get. I have nothing against difficult badges. Purely luck based ones on the other hand...

A tip to all game designers, past present and future: DO NOT PUT BOTTOMLESS PITS THAT KILL THE PLAYER IN A GAME WHERE THE ABILITY TO JUMP IS COMPLETELY RANDOM.

1381/1382 Fuel. I was in the air when I died also, on a 3 combo, but I couldn't get down. Fuel shouldn't be spent in the air. Boom mode was taken out. 3/5.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why the HELL do you instantly die if you run out of fuel in the air?! Dumbest decision I may have ever seen in a game like this.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
horrible game. not even a game really if it is based on luck. no skill. just luck on if there are any aircraft flying around to keep you from falling into a pit...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The tank shouldn't be able to run out of fuel while mid-air. I'll be in the middle of a big combo, and I explode because I run out.
