don't you love it that when you've almost completed all upgrades and are going on a final run, are almost out of fuel, and have enough points to complete the level, but can't reach the %$#&@ ground and die?

Game window is too small, I agree. "Focus lost" is irritating considering I like to move the cursor off the game window, and, is it even necessary? Come on, where's the mute option??? The computer's audio mute button does NOT count.

Why why why does the mouse moving out of the window have to pause the game? If the action doesn't require the mouse, I'd like it out of my way!

"General! The Tank is above our heads! what should we do?" General:"Lets fly under it and shoot at it to make sure it doesn't touch ground, maybe it'll run out of fuel midair." Tank Driver: "LEMME TOUCH THE GROUND! I GOTZ TA' LEVEL UP!" *fuel runs out, blows up*.....
Now I'm questioning the use of fuel midair...

"Commander! We've received a mysterious donation from a mr... NOTindestructotank asking for us to improve specific weapons once again. Should we listen to his demands?" Commander: "Such an important investor? of course we should comply with his demands. Don't forget to send them all after the indestructible tank that instantaneously combusts with no fuel, so make sure our vehicles leak fuel for it to absorb through its sponge like indestructible armour." "Yes Commander InTank!"

I hate how the game just ends after you run out of fuel and you lose all your upgrades!... I was at 24 combo, I was about to get the badge of the day, [to get that badge of the day you have to get a 25 combo] AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL!!! :(

No reason for this to be a lost-focus game, especially when the mouse is barely used. A note that progress will absolutely not be saved would be helpful. I've started from scratch three times.

LOL, I just completed the badge of the day by accident, I unlocked unlimited fuel and went to the toilet.....came back and I'd unlocked the badge. XD

The controls don't work well for me, half the time it won't let me steer left and right or jump when my boost is ready. It also makes the kongregate site very laggy when the game is running.

I found that the homing enemies start working against you when there are so a lot of them and you are racing the fuel timer trying to get the biggest combo you can. Their missiles can juggle you in the air, keeping you from hitting other planes and wasting precious time because the missile hits don't count towards your combo.

The horizontal acceleration of movement is ass. You can only max the upgrades if you put zero in "homer" and wait until you have enough to get everything else and then buy the homer all at once. Otherwise the homing missiles will keep you from hitting the planes and make you run out of time i.e. fuel. Free flying simply means stay in air for long enough. It's a minute or two.

Even on the lowest available settings, the game hangs every time I press any of the arrow keys, making midair steering impossible -- by the time the game registers the keystrokes, I'm back on the ground. The only way to progress at all is to put on a Quick Play round, right-click to keep the Flash Player from lagging, and let the game play itself until it needs me to decide which upgrades to pick.
Update? I think you guys needed to rethink the whole affair -- maybe starting with a button to mute that godawful techno music?

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)

A tip for the frustrated: DON'T GET HOMERS UNTIL THE END!!!!!!
I tried 8 times and failed MISERABLY until I tried saving those god-awful homers until the end. Not only did I max everything with absolutely no problems, I got the 75 combo award by not having any stupid homers in the way. Saving those planes from hell until the end makes for a much easier time.

You'd think the guy who invented an indestructible tank would be able to seek alternative fuel sources or at least use it more efficiently...

Still flashy and fun, thank god for infinite fuel mode unlocking once you get all upgrades, it's great to see even back in 2008 we were thinking about players' sanity

Be warned, the homer missiles are great to keep yourself in air in the beginning but it you upgrade them too much they will prevent you from achieving the Solo Star Badge.

Aw, crap. It doesn't save progress. I had to quit for a while, came back and had to start over from the beginning. Jeez!

I found a way after about six tries to do solo star pretty easily. Max out miners, bombers, and bouncers and avoid the other two. Once you have all these at 100, you can raise gunner and homer a little bit (not above 30-40). Save up 3500-4000 and buy all the homers and gunners at once. Those two hit you with rockets constantly making it difficult to make it back to the ground to bank your points. Also, when you're bouncing off their rockets, you aren't raising your combo, so on later levels it's hard to get the points in time. Seriously, I went the entire time without touching the ground once. At the very end I hit and came up about 300 short. I hope this helps.
