That hard badge is very luck based in the first 20 minutes of playing I got to 652k with bad gear, then I had to play for nearly another 2 hours with much better gear to get it. The loadout I finally stuck with and used to get the hard badge was Frost Sword, Ninja Headband, Walkman and Leather Bracer. That seemed to be the best out of the many combinations I tried. Launch completely horizontal and only use your Power Smash when you absolutely need to. Good Luck!

I was able to hit the geek over 73,000 feet when I was only level 3 and hadn't bought anything from the store. This just shows you how much this game can run on luck. I didn't even hit a power smash!

Looks like the diamond items are automatically unlocked for everyone once you hit that amount of diamonds. I guess it's a reward thing: Get that many diamonds and the game gives you new toys.

Beautiful art. Good music. Funny geek references. Game is quite fun, for 10 mins. Real downside is not much upgrade options. This makes reaching further distances totally random and only achievable through pure luck of randomly hitting some kind of speed-boosting thing featured on the map. Add more upgrades and in such a way that upgrading things give you real control on how far you go. Also, controlling the geek is atrociously bad and useless. This could be a great game, but a flight game in which you have so little control defeats the purpose. Might as well watch a video of someone else playing it..

It could be a lot more interesting if the sky wasn't the limit... Once the geek leaves the screen (above 2000') there is nothing for him to hit. Rank up if you think a playground with stuff above the 2k line and maybe a radar system with it are what this game needs.

Don't you think the geek would lose some weight after walking all the way back after every hit, and why does he co-operate anyway!

I don't understand why I have to buy the same weapons for every character separately . this is like playing the game from scratch every time I change a character . game is fun but it's hard to get cash and I find it stupid the whole thing with the air control (although it works if you get it ) . 3/5 decent game .

I used the tips provided by Mattesp and got close to 700,000. I prefer not relying on random number generators, so I completed enough achievements (lots of grinding) to get the Robot Arm and then I got hard badge within a few tries.

@Mattesp: i just use the welding helmet the gives 100%cannons, and the bullet belt that gives the cannon push. but other than that i do the same thing with the angle meter

I quite like the update, especially the new character. It is nice to be able to play a woman character. One thing that I noticed though is that the French version of the game is not fully translated this time. For instance "inventory" is not translated by "inventaire". I guess most of players don't care about it and don't speak French at all but it is just something I wanted to mention here because it is rather weird.
I put a 5: I enjoyed the concept, the items and the possibility to play in my language (it is rare for non english speakers). The comments of the geek are particularly hilarious.

Even with the best non-diamond weapon, tips by the top comment and perfect power smashes, I still took about 20 tries to get the hard badge. This game is mostly just luck... and waiting... and waiting... Otherwise, a fun game.

I thought the hard badge was just a lucky run where you hit a fair amount of berzerkers and cannons. However for me the correct combination was Denize with her well-rounded attributes (especially the boobs), Frost Sword, Leather Bracer, Wielding Mask, and Champion Belt. The trick for me was getting my encounters up. After using this set-up, I got the hard badge on the first run.

Shooting completely horizontal from a cannon strait into a Zerker = Epic Awesomeness. Btw, I love how games like this are based a lot on chance and improvements come in great strides. Case in point, never got over 10k in height until I got 15k, next improvement on that was 40k, lol. Fun game. Played for a half hour after getting the hard achievement.

There is absolutely no way to be offended by this game as a geek. In fact, I think it goes to show that Berzerk Studios loves geeks! Why? No matter what you put him through, the geek keeps getting up and coming back for more!

pretty sure these nerds dont mind getting beat around by a hot girl with a fly swatter.... probably some weird fantasy of the developers

Gotta feel sorry for the geek... he finally gets to talk to a girl but then she hits him 92000 feet with a baseball bat!

Great game, a lot of fun leveling up and watching the geek fly. Here are some tips for getting a 1M+ distance: 1. The initial hit should be at 45 degrees with max power. 2. Save your Power Smashes for when the geek is almost about to stop, this way it's easier to hit the geek AND you get a much greater distance than unloading them all at the start. 3. If you get in a cannon, fire it at quite a shallow angle (very horizontaly) this way you get a really good horizontal speed and you're more likely to hit berzerkers which will increase your speed even more. (If you're interested when I got my 1M+ score I was using Ballon with the Frost Sword equipped with the Walkman (just do achievements to get the diamonds), the Beer Bunk Helmet and the Tapes Barcer (supposed to be "Bracer"?) which gave me strength 24, accuracy 22 and control 17 along with 8 power smashes.). You also need a bit of luck.

I went ahead and purchased Hell Sword and Dino Smasher. here are the stats for each. Hell Sword: +62 +6 +6 +6. Dino smasher +85 +24 -6 -6. Vote this comment up so people know what they're buying.

saffi2013 is right
Ninja Headband too. Those boost tools are important because the cannon don't shoot toward 700.000 feet, you will need a lot of luck and help and try to not miss those power smashes. In my case cannons and berzerkers helped me a lot.

lets start with criticisms, all the text is a terrible font and too small, the pacing is too damn slow i'm 10 hits in and I've only made $151 and thats because i got one lucky hit, and last but not least i've never understood why based on your audience especially on online flash game sites why you'd simultaneously take the piss out of 'nerds' but also essentially base the game around 'nerdy' fan service and shit...

This is going to be the game of the day tomorrow??? Omg, Kongregate is messing with us by putting these two awful games in a row.

No, what is particularly displeasing is the fact that you buy multiple items to find that you can only use one, What a waste of money. OH.....and Auto-forward.....i could tape my right button down for free.

After A LOT of grinding, i finally got the hard badge with marcus at lvl 17 using frost sword, gold ring, fat bottle and beer bunk helmet.
Just space out power shots and only use them when the geek slows down. I do not recommend obsessing over in game trophies as crystals are part of a cash grub sceme and you can do without crystal unlocked items

Equipment include "helmet", "glove/bracer" and "accessory/belt" category..other than "weapon". This means that you can equip 3 items and 1 weapon. Personally I feel that for belt, walkman (+5 to all stats) is a must. At low level, i used stud bracer (+15% gold & xp, +1 +1 +2). When I was able to get one of the last 2 weapons (I chose frost sword +4 +4 +4 for balance but doesn't really matter I guess), I switched to leather bracer (+50% Mines and Mechanical Commandos, -1 +2 0). I equipped beer bunk helmet (Auto forward - getting lazy and sleepy by then, +2 +1 +1). With these equipment I hit beyond 1mil mark at lvl 15 (max max 6)...this may not be the best combination but hope this helps anyone trying to get the hard badge faster.

Lol, reached 310k with a flyswatter thanks to a double coincidence, the geek got into a cannon than ran into a berserker once launched. Then he kept on landing on bugs and mines after that. :D

It's pathetic that so many people don't get the genre: Launch games. They think they are copying other games, but really ir's a genre of games.
