I am so flippin' mad. This game is making me rip my hair out! This game was INCREDIBLY fun at first, up until the FREAKING HARD BADGE! The RNG nature of the gold you receive can LITERALLY make or break you up in the 10ks by the time you reach level 11.
My first attempt, I bought ALL the weapons. Off by like 3k so I did it in round 12. "Oh," I thought, "I guess that's because I spent 8k on weapon upgrades!" So I only bought the Nail upgrade like the comments say. AGAIN I was like 2k off or something and finished by level 12! WHAAAT?! So I said screw it and bought NO upgrades (besides artillery of course) and I STILL was like 2k off or something! I'm so tired of this game! I don't want to play it anymore, but I REALLY want that hard badge. Playing it 5 times in a row just gets so old and I hate leaving how my time is being managed by RNG (which is fine when RNG is a feature in the game, but this isn't one of those games). Baah.

As several people have said, the interface is poor/hot keys would be a major improvement. The sniper pirates seem to all shoot simultaneously, which is generally overkill of many of the enemies, therefore a waste of ammunition and targetting other enemies. The snipers shoot at bombs already being thrown into the ocean (again, a waste of ammo for them). When the birdbombers are shot by snipers, they don't drop bombs, which is very annoying when you were just about to cage one to drop it's bombs on enemies below.

for all of you people complaining about the badges, just sent an error report. I got a reply back from kong, and they gave me the badges in less than a day.

i like that when u noticed that their was a fire attack and a fire enemy,instead of over looking it,u made it so the flames gain health from fire.

GLITCH: You can buy the top two upgrades without having enough money if you put your mouse right on the top line of pixel of the box, it still puts you in negative money if you don't have enough.

You are a pirate! (Yay!)
We got us a map (a map!) to lead us to a hidden box,
That's all locked up with locks (with locks!) and buried deep away.
We'll dig up the box (the box!), we know it's full of precious booty
Bust open the locks, and then we'll say "HOORAY!"
Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee,
If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate!
WEIGH ANCHOR!

If you want the hard badge, buy only artillery and nothing else. It only takes 4 hits to pop the air balloons, so upgrading the nail really isn't necessary. I bought only the artillery, and still I took no damage. Be aware that the nail deals damage only when it's moving down and/or left, to simulate a poking motion with its graphic. Enemies per day and gold per enemy are both random, as you can see in how the spoils of the first level can be anywhere from 1600 to 2100. That's a big spread. I finished on day 11, with slightly more than 4000 gold remaining, which is just barely enough to afford the golden nail. It was clear that I could have wound up with less than 4000 gold, if I had to use slightly more artillery shots, or if I received slightly less gold from enemies. So don't buy the golden nail. As for my review, Shore Siege is a reasonably fun diversion which ends just before it wears out its welcome. 3/5.

they don't give you an icon for the magnet, you just have to grab the little guys by clicking on them and drag them to the water, GORGO

Overall a passable game though not really great due to the difficulty of control and general UI design. Good music, nice SFX, okay graphics and mostly good badges, though the hard one is too dependant on random chance (the first game I made no mistakes and took only the artillary and the golden nail and failed to get it in 11 days by nearly 10,000 gold... there's some serious variance in that there randomness!!! Then there was the day five that was harder than the day ten... *sigh*) Overall, middling going on good but would be more interesting if the UI were worth a damn (it was the limiting factor by far).

I think the game could of been better if I could change the priority the snipers had on shooting enemies.
Or at the very least tell them to not shoot the enemies I'm throwing over the fricken ship.
Not bad otherwise.

Thanks to Failen's strategy, I got Medium/Hard badge together in one run. The ending credits animation were also pretty amusing. Good game!

For the hard badge,you can also skip the g nail upgrade that is 20 artillery shots which can be more reliable.And also better controls please.

I accidentally got the Medium and Hard badges before the Easy badge lol. Its really not as hard as people claim it is.
