@Chudley, the badge of the day is randomly selected amongst all easy and medium badges. Luck of the draw, or in this case, unluck of the draw.

to rate this 10 years ago it is good, too bad I am rating it today... no mute, lag, doesn't save upgrades, small screen, lose fuel in air, etc

Even if it was the best game in 2008 (which I doubt, because I remember much better browser games from years before then), it's a terrible game to use for a badge in 2015. It's unplayable on a modern computer and it's embarrassing for Kongregate that they chose this for a badge of the day.

to all those rating this game low remember this is a 2008 game! it was one of the best when it came out, the developer will not update it now but he still deserves the 5 stars

Annoying how the fuel can run out while you're in the air... what's the point of that?? And the EXP can only be gained on the ground. At least provide main unit upgrades as well as enemy frequency - longer fuel time, etc.

I'm playing this on a computer made to run games on ultra high settings, and i can't even run this on its lowest. It becomes a pure game of chance when no matter what you do you can't control it. Given that, if you do get unlucky and blow up, that it, game over, start from the beginning. No mute button for the obnoxious music, minuscule screen with a ridiculous cursor focus. I remember playing the original one of these games, and it was fine. This is awful, and doesn't even deserve the one star I'm giving it

I have no idea what happened, but I suddenly blew up and lost, with no explanation of why. game over, start with no upgrades. WTF 1/5 stars is 1 too many

No mute button (that I could find) and laggy to the point where I can't play it (I thought my computer could handle medium, but apparently not). I even turned everything to false and still couldn't play. 1/5 from me.

You are an indestructible tank. Use the enemies bombs, missiles, and vehicles to propel yourself upward. Ram everything to destroy it.

So slow and unresponsive that you can't even maneuver if you get hit. I'm not even sure if it's possible to buy an upgrade in the game if you can't even upgrade the quality of game. Probably the worst game I've ever played on Kongregate.

I would continue trying to get this badge, but am irritated by the fact that all of my upgrades reset when I run out of fuel. Since I already have this week's shiny kongpanion, it just doesn't seem worth the frustration to continue trying for this badge. I really like the game aside from that, so maybe I'll try it again when I feel more patient. 3/5, because I rarely give 5/5 and the upgrade reset keeps it from being a 4/5.

I like to play on my comfortably large computer screen... If I wanted to play on a postal-stamp-big screen, I'd load a game on my smartphone!

I find it very infuriating that I finally get to 90 ft in the air but then the fuel runs out and I can't get the badge. -.-

1 Star, between the tiny little screen with no cinematic mode, mouse on the screen required, and it not checking your current combo against leveling up when you run out of fuel I just can't give it better. Excellent premise and controls ran straight into the ground.

TIP for Badges and Gameplay: Don't worry about the combo badge, "Chain Champ Badge". After you buy all the frequencies to the max, you are able to PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO REFUEL. Then you can work on getting the 75x combo without worrying on how to hit the ground. The game fails to tell you that to refuel you have to earn enough experience to get to the next level and hit the ground. Hitting the ground is not easy, after you have built up the frequencies to build up your combo by staying in the air then having to avoid all the missiles, helicopters, planes, and miners. (+1 so other can see this tip, ty)

Not too cool that you can play for 10 minutes and then get no closer to your badge because of an arbitrary "fuel limit" and no cross game progression. Feels like a real time waster.
