Not sure what's up with your game but mine auto-saved for me quite a bit. Got the first hard badge on one level, damn that was expensive!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel you should be able to target/destroy the bombs the blimps are dropping. Seems only reasonable. I mean, if Missile Command can do it...

Also if you max your main turret skills after maxing the Balloon Blast Score Gain you should be able to beat levels 1 and 2 without spawning anything for a fairly high maximum score if you need a little boost.

Well this badge of the day and hard badge aren't exactly hard... they're just time consuming... Medium badge is really easy to earn... Just level up the 123 in game hot key skills. Then use them like crazy as the fire heats up. Also make the enemy ships worth more for killing. A few decoy/help turrets and you're set. (I used a slightly more balanced approach but those were the key elements that got me through the boss level)

The game overall isn't bad. It runs really smooth outside of when all of your specials are called at once. The game gets increasingly difficult even with upgrades which is a welcome sight to flash games. I would have to complain about the lack of a soundtrack. Just listening to the sounds of exploding AA shells can get rather boring. So perhaps a soundtrack to liven things up a bit would make the game more interesting. Other then that it is a great game for its style. 4/5 from me.

Captain: Ok so we got our planes, our ammo, our bombs, and lighting for good measure right?
Vice Captain: Yes sir. We got all the top of the line gear to beat them.
Captain: Ok but tell me this..... HOW THE HELL ARE THEY STILL UP!?!?! Those are balloons. Made of RUBBER How the hell are they not going down??
Balloon people: Im rubber your glue whatever you send to me. bounces off of me and goes boom.

Lack of autosave was a surprise. Really disappointed to come back and continue my game, to find nothing to continue. The need to hit save I guess would have been more obvious if you didn't need to mouse-over that tab to see it. Even though I wasn't terribly far in (5 or 6 missions) I completely lost interest in playing more after seeing progress lost.

Why are so many gameinabottle games like this, a good base concept ruined by a ridiculous game length. It's a flash game, I don't want twenty hours of extremely repetitive gameplay out of it.

It didn't autosave for me. I wasted so much time and was near the last boss level on elite difficulty and it did not save. FML.

One of the easiest hard badges. On the first boss level just reset your points and play through 3 times knocking each requirement out.

Destroyed the first boss after he dropped his payload but before it hit and killed me.... Nothing was alive when the level ended and thankfully I got a victory screen!

Impossible Badge!? So amazing... how hard is it to earn an impossible badge? I reckon it will be hard... but not impossible!

I guess the best way to beat the boss and get the medium badge is fully upgrading all three air forces. They're cheap and pretty powerful once spammed.

Okay, I restarted, got the secret level because I never tried the main level first. So you have to get five stars on the first five levels AND never attempt the main boss level to unlock the secret.

the first 16-20 levels on epic(including the secret levels) I didn't have to use a single building, just had to use bombers every now and then for the big baloons and thats it.... -.- I got bored pretty quick so.... 5/5 anyways

Really annoyed that I don't get anything from lost matches. Not sure if I'm going to give it enough time before I just give up.

@Nerava but it doesn't show up, I've seen another screen shot of the secret level, I have 5 stars on the first five levels, but no secret level has been activated.

@capgreyfox you don't get the achievement by getting 5 stars in each of the first 5 levels. Look for a newly appeared red balloon on the map. It should be towards the bottom, and near the 5 levels you got 5 stars each on.

@J75thFerret "get 5 stars on the first five maps to get the achievement the alt. way" I doesn't seem to be that way, I earned the five stars in all the first 5 maps, and didn't get the badge. Maybe you need some total score beside the stars.

wait, zipplines are just balloons with wire on the inside. balloons are suppose to pop when something explodes near it. why don't the zipplines pop with one shot?
