Finished the game on my 14th launch, wasnt even halfway upgraded but I got a really lucky map. I have to agree with everyone else, the upgrade system is all but useless. Winning this game is nothing more than just launch after launch until you get a map with good drops.

hmm i also feel like the upgrades aren't having big impacts. and since they don't have a big impact, the amount of gold collected is consequently insignificant as well especially since they stay at a low value. i think the most significant difference between this launch game and others is that there is no upgrading random encounters. this would explain why the upgrades do not have significant impacts, because overall these controlled actions pale in the task of maintaining speed compared to random encounters which remain consistently unreliable

if you rocket just as soon as you hit the ground you automatically stop dead in your tracks and throw down a flag :( i was going fast too

In sore need of some balancing, which is a shame since I do like the art style a lot. Also, at least for me personally, a large part of the draw of launch games comes in the sense of progressing and getting stronger. The upgrades not only seem to be rather limited in impact (e.g. the chance upgrade always needs ~20 perfect launches to refund itself, how many launches do you expect people to have?) and have no visual change. Level 5 armour looks the same as level 1 armour, etc. Only the launchers differ a bit, but even there only in three levels.

2 catapult, 2 ballista, 2 wing, 1 rocket, 2 bladder, 3 magnet and 3 luck upgrades later and I still can't reach my previous record set before all the upgrades. All my "boosters" are used up before I make it past the first milestone. I do not see any benefit to the wings or rockets as neither really improve your performance and upgrading them has not yielded any noticeable gains. Money is so tight in this game that the best way I've found to make money is to invest in the luck upgrade, get a perfect launch and hope to end my run quickly. Although this game is dated, its still a miserable recycling of a launch game when there are much older ones out there that are much more balanced. The goblin voice is so off the mark to the point its annoying to even listen to it. Very poor game. 2/5

This game has kinda nothing to do with skill... if youre being lucky you hit a barrel and get shot 2km before hitting a random spike...

interesting error. I seemed to be picking up coins with my magnet while I slammed into a spike, and now I keep picking up an endless amount of coins, lol

Those launch upgrades are so dumb and pointless. They barely do anything. A huge waste of money when you only need to upgrade your powerups.
