the shield gun is a very useful "weapon" it makes one building you choose to be immune to bullets and resist explosive damage

I did it simply with 4 plasmas, as they all fire when you fire one, each with a damge upgrade and the rest of the points on health

I also got the pleasant surprise of getting the Badge of the Day When Kongregate Attacks Badge when I died in the challenge. So badge needs to be fixed, but I am happy with the free 15 Points+15 Points for Badge of the Day! As for the game itself, it would be nice if you could view the power, reload rate, etc. of the guns BEFORE you buy them. It would also be nice to know what enemies will be in the next wave, so you can bring out the correct turrets for each wave, instead of dying because you didn't have the right turrets, and you restart the wave. However, the rest of the game is well balanced in terms of difficulty, so 3/5 Stars from me.

I think it'd be a good idea if you could fire secondary weapon instantly just by pressing it's hotkey, without completely switching to it from your primary weapon. Because it's frustrating switching back and forth to fire a sniper canon or guided missile. Hope developers see this.

My personal tactics were to buy a dual machine gun, upgrade it's damage as fast as possible(the 15 starter points help out on the challenge map), soon as I've got my first upgrade in that, put up a decoy tower and mount machine guns on the decoys fast as possible. Against the Kongregate Juggernauts be sure you're packing the Apocolypse Cannon, all of it's upgrades going into firing rate(even then you'll be holding out and praying for it to recharge). Might be easier if I had any skill with the main cannons, but I don't, so it's machine guns for me all the way.

Start with the 2 shooter. save up 10 for damage. second purchase get the sniper, spend on cooldown until you get to 400/300 and then all damage. then buy the health booster and max that on buffs. then buy the drones. save up for guns, and then number of drones.
Win everytime.
To make this better though I think you should be able to convert extra money on upgrades instead of just waiting for level ups. Needs the ability to continue level past 10. Also needs the ability to carry money earned to next campaign. :)

Fun game. Some recommendations: *Repair All* - seriously; Persistent Shielding (so I don't waste time in the beginning of each wave assigning a turret to defend - or give me a few seconds before the wave starts); once you buy all of your turrets, money is used only to repair, use money for upgrades instead of exp - since it would be suicidal to change to a level 1 weapon in later waves. Hints: Use the double machine gun - it owns, save your points to upgrade its damage, first; decoy turrets/machine gun/shield tower = win :)

btw. about shots "missed". keep in mind most guns not able to shot "below" theirs position. if you are using plasmid guns shot a little right or above the target to get some shots in not shielded places.

p2) Orbital mines and Drones are a BAD IDEA. DON'T DO IT. If you want hilariously easy, go for 4 sniper rifles, max'd cooldown, with everything else in damage. This is the one that works the best. Reason it's not in part one is mostly because i didn't think of it at the time.

For those who actually want to beat the kong challenge, it's fairly easy if you go one of several routes: 1) Nothing but damage boosts and 1 dual machine gun, for the upgrades have damage>fire speed> health. Fairly easy game, with enough damage output to destroy anything you can hit before it's halfway through the screen. 2) Radio Plasmid Guns, maybe 1 damage buffer. Have only one of them spec'd speed, and the rest focused on damage; shoot with the speedy one, and the rest will have it's firerate. Warning: leads to a NEGATIVE accuracy score. 3) Damage and the starter cannon. This is the hardest one i've tried, but it should theoretically lead to a higher accuracy, assuming that you can hit everything. One shot, one kill, only to be used by the scoreseekers out there. Those are the only ones i've tried, but it seems fairly simple; you don't have to worry about more than this wave, so go for Dakka unless you want score. Then you should go for Massive Damage.

it is a matter of not shooting at the shield if possible. 15 bare points on Kong map. 25 points after completing all standard campaigns. if too hard... just win few easy campaigns. the most irritating "bug" - shortcuts for towers position changes from mission to mission.

Did anyone else get the badge of the day even if you lost? not sure if it was supposed to be like that or not but i lost and still got the badge.

To get Badge of the Day:
Install 2 Apocalypse Cannons and a Remote Missile, then you use all the upgrade points (you got 19 at each tower) to reduce cooldown and increase hp.... when there's a huge amount of enemies on the screen you activave the apocalypse cannon... Against the last ship, I still got the 2 apocalypses with half HP.

How do I beat the Kongregate juggernaut?? It's a huge ship, has a piss ton of health, and all my weapons do little to no damage, how am I supposed to get the badge?

great game but when the boats with the three ballons come for some reason i cant switch between my machine gun turrets? it did however finally let me select my last turret once all of my other ones were dead and it had half health left and the screen was littered with all sorts of enemy's bombing it.. maybe you could increase the size of the select box or decrease the size of the box the enemy's have so it makes it easier to select your turrets before you're just about to loose the level? thanks HeroInteractive!

I like how I'm given the BoTD after an epic loss of fail within 15 seconds of playing the Kongregate Attacks Challenge. It made me not want to kill myself for being such a failure =D Yay!

'You died! But you still may have gotten a great score!' *Follows the 'Veiw scores!' link*. 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. Me: So i won right? Yeah go me!

Kongregate Attack is easy to beat. Get 2 Apocalypse Cannons upgrade reload time, Heavy Cannon (upgrade damage) and Health Buffer.

Ugh, freakin' hate it when a daily badge brings me back to a game I tried to forget existed... and even worse, I have to actually play it for the daily as I didn't get it the first time (probably because I gave up on it for it's excessive failness). Oh well, will keep slamming my head against this level... maybe I'll get lucky... do so love a game that offers absolutely no leeway on what items you buy and which ones you level up... eventually you run into that one level where no matter what you do, you know you should've done something different 4 levels ago and now you're boned. *sigh*

Game starts out with super weak weapons and very strong incoming waves... forcing you to waste money on second/third gun turrets rather than saving for the more potent boosts. Then the upgrade points are wasted on the weak turrets and you're screwed.

The tutorial is a little too descriptive, it's better to give a little advice then let us test it to gain a deeper understanding, then give us more information- rather than overloading us with all the information at the beginning.

I was just wondering if it was at all possible to beat the Kongregate Challenge level. It doesn't look like it gives you a chance.
