The game mechanics are a pain. This needs much better configuration. I didn't bother to use any of the mines or explosives until level 37 normal, because the lost time in moving off the playing area, grabbing the item, and placing it simply takes too much time. By the time I have to use the bombs, they're barely more effective than my firearm. I can't imagine how this is supposed to work on a harder mode.
Also, it's silly to use stone-age key bindings. Let me configure the movement and shooting keys, and at least give me hot keys to choose the bombs and mines.
Finally, there should be a description of the monster mechanics somewhere. Don't leave me guessing as to what these critters are supposed to be, or what aspects of the graphics I'm supposed to avoid.
This is a good start, but I'm just tired of playing the beta version. "Badge of the Day" should be reserved for more mature games. This one isn't far -- one or two upgrade releases should do it.

Adding onto Dirk2550 about holding onto the spacebar to increase Rate of Fire, it also increases Capture Speeds & Regen Speeds. That makes it easier to get more skill points earlier in game.

Just skill damage and fire rate equally, don't mind speed. make sure you spend of your time on the flags. Very easy to reach level 35+ without even using any bombs.

"You Win! Your score has been submitted!" TRY AGAIN/BACK - neither selection works. No achievement earned. What a useless waste of time that was.

This game could be good but it just falls short. Did they really expect you to stop shooting to drop stuff that doesn't work very well most of the time?

This game is fine, it's just a regular shooter along the lines of the boxhead games. I don't know why people are complaining.

@chaindeath: This game is rated 3.79/5 because back when it came out in 2009 it was a rather good game. A lot of improvements have been made to games in the past 6 years.

Tips for Hard Badge: NEVER upgrade speed. Upgrade Damage and Fire Rate equally by 5. First upgrade Damage to 5, then stop and upgrade Fire Rate to 5, and so on. Try to capture as much as you can, but leave when there are enemies coming at you. If you need health, camp on the bottom of the map and do zig-zag on the clear zone if you need to get some extra enemies away. This way I got to Wave 35 in my first try. Vote up if this helped you.

Playing this on a laptop. Apparently you can't move the mouse cursor while you are pressing a directional key. Makes it impossible to actually find any enjoyment whatsoever. Serious failure there... Got my 50 kills for the BotD and left 1 star just for the bad experience...

I like the concept and the gameplay. However, i have a few issues.
The game is not challenging enough, apart from the challenge mode.
More ranged thumbs would be cool.
The use of the mines and dynamite would work a lot more fluent with hotkeys instead of drag&drop.
Music would be nice, as well as a few more sound effects
And the glitch with the spacebar needs to be fixed.

You might have to reset the browser to get the daily achievement. I completed all 40 waves, and it said I only completed 17 waves. Then it changed to 27, then 28, and then when I was about to report a missing badge, I got the achievement. See Eisvogel's comment.
Oh, and the "Hold Spacebar and Shoot" method works wonderfully! Thanks dylmani555!

wow, i just realized, on the blue book on challenge mode on the bottom left part of the map... if you go on it, the game crashes

Seriously... follow dylmani555's comment on the glitch. Hold spacebar and stand still for it to work, and you will COMPLETELY destroy any wave as long as you only upgrade rate of fire+damage.

I think the best way to get to level 30/40 is go directly to a flag hold space, don't move until the wave is defeated. then go to the next flag etc (try to get an extra flag if possible between the waves.
The firs waves will be difficult, but if you're still alive at wave 16 (at best you have 15 power and 16 rate) then keep on doing it and the rest wil be easy.
If you do it by this strategy it is best to have always one more rate than power (and 0 speed)
NOTE: try to get the bad placed flags (most left) on weak waves; and find a good spot for the hard waves
also: while you are at the upper left flag a lot of the fingers firering will be stuck on the corners and can often still be hit

Come on! I've beated that Hard badge now twice, first to lvl 35 and now to lvl 39. First time I waited like 25mins without getting it, and now I have waited like 15min and no fuc-king badge.

Need Some help? 2 things. 1:Always upgrade DMG & Rate of Fire. and 2: Build Mines. you don't need speed at all. you can just upgrade DMG and ROF ( Rate Of Fire ) and win the game.

If you can't get past the Enter Your Name, it doesn't seem to like spaces in the name. Make sure the name you entered has no spaces.

I don't like having to start all over once you die. I spent quite a while trying to pick up the health symbols, too... Badge of the Day. Hang in there for the Badge of the Day.

Just focus on moving from flag to flag, upgrade damage and rate of fire evenly and speed only as necessary, and today's BotD is pretty easy...and then the game crashed my browser (yay!).
