Too long to complete it in other difficulty lvls after you beat one. It gets really repetitive after the first 10 battles. There also doesn't seem to be any reason to build anything but triple cannons, 5 of those at lvl 5 pretty much kill everything by themselves, even in the last lvl. Normal setup that works in any lvl pretty much looks like oilrig, thunderglobe (to mix things up), 4-5 tripleguns, a freezing ray if you feel fancy (doesn't really do much, since it won't get to fire even right at the screen edge, and dies really fast since it trades shots when it does). Hit 123 when there are more than 1 one the big ships, repeat.

Ouch, the pain of going through the last (Fuel of War) campaign after going through the game twice already is just awful. The game isn't that bad, but for the impossible badge: it just KEEPS on dragging on. :-(

the secret way for the medium badge is to get 5 stars on all the levels before the first boss, which open up the secret level, then beat that.

Hmm i'm at level 25 and I can't see how many points i need to next level. Is it supposed to do that at level 25? It just says "NEXT LEVEL AT: - "

Shit... Why don't developers put a CONFIRM page between you and accidentally clicking return to map and quitting a level.

As it turns out, not only Kong, but even Game In A Bottle themselves don't know that 10m is actually fairly little, because it's at around that point(10.3m) that you hit level 24, the level cap! I reached it around battle 21, while the game is a whopping 33 battles long. .-.

Note for those who didn't notice, the oilrigs stop producing cash (prestige, or whatever it's called) in the last wave of each level. Probably for preventing players to let a balloon live, and letting the oilrigs to generate indefinitely.

Second tip regarding the main gun: Level up damage, reload speed, shell speed and accuracy more or less at the same levels. Once reload speed is at 5, you can start adding in firing speed (i.e. reload 5, fire 1, reload 6, fire 2, etc.). This means you can completely ignore ammo capacity as your reload speed keeps you at full ammo. This in turn allows you to put points in other, better things. For non-gun skills, I like building armor first, then more support skills. A few points in balloon score gain are nice too, as are points in building speed. Save "start with more score" and "build price" to the end, as the savings don't justify the price. You'll always have enough to build. Good luck!

Officer: "Sir, we have spent billions on ballons, men, and bombs trying to destroy a single mobile automatic gun emplacement and have only the carcasses of thousands of ballons to show for our efforts. During the few times we managed to destroy it, the enemy immediately brought up a new replacement which was not any less effective. What are your orders?"
General: "Keep on throwing more balloons at them. I'm sure we'll win the war by destroying that gun emplacement."
Officer: "Sir, yes sir!"
Player: (After blowing up the hundred thousandth balloon) "You'd think they would change tactics by now..."

Wish this game was shorter or that it was more customizable for your main cannon. It gets very repetitive quickly so being able to decide which type of cannon you want to replace your main flak cannon would be cool. Like you could upgrae to the tripple cannon, the rocket launcher, or the final upgrade which would be the Thunder Globe. All of your previousupgrades for speed/reload/damage would be scaled with your main gun. <thats all just something i though of while playing

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.

Secret way for medium achievement is to 5 star the first 5 maps and then beat the secret map. Way easier than taking on Mr.Bossman.

one problem with the in-game badges. if you earn a gold (for example, not a single bomb dropped) it doesnt award you with the bronze and silver.

Really... this game can be very hard, and that is what is supposed to be fun about it...the epic feeling you get while battling through a tough situation and the feeling you get when you succeed...it's what the game is for.

"Sir, their AA guns are terrifying. Can we, y'know, mortar them first? Mortars have a range of like 20 miles."
"Nah just assault them head on. I'm sure with enough of you it'll work."
