Under rating threshold (show) Now i remember why I didn't finish this game the first time around: that boss is a goddamn SUN!! No wonder it's near impossible! Needs an option to redistribute skill points..

Under rating threshold (show) Since most of the action takes place offscreen, imo the big flaw with this game is that the minimap is not directly over the ship. Still, it is an excellent game. I hope we'll get to see a version 2!

Under rating threshold (show) Can't recommend Stunna 's comment highly enough, not sure I would have had the patience to finish this without their tips. Like most people are saying, the main levels are a breeze, but the last with the huge ball of molten rage and dead dreams is a nightmare. The tip of staying still and moving only to dodge works wonders. Sometimes you can skim its arc and feel like a pro :D But yes, still took many attempts. Remember to BREATHE once you've killed the minions on the level, get into the zone, and start 'charming' the boss. You're in control! You can do it! Good luck :)

Under rating threshold (show) Read Stunna's comment. Also, protip is to choose some corner (perhaps top-right) and also move in that direction while shooting in the opposite direction for every wave/level until the boss level. Yes, I died maybe 3-4 times doing this, but it's better than anything else. You take a small amount of damage from ramming into the few enemies at the beginning than anything else.

Under rating threshold (show) "Alright, the control scheme is fairly standard, just a top down shooter, I think I can do this, it should start off pretty easy, I'm ready- AAAAAAAH I WAS NOT READY HELP HELP HELP!" 5/5, a worthy challenge.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay. I didnt know about the 80 weapon max. i have 135 on weapons. and the rest on shield. but actually the boss is really easy. Follow these steps: 1. Clear final stage of regular enemies 2. Sit still while the boss is out the outskirts of the radar 3. When boss comes into the field move 90 degrees from where hes coming from 4. Fire at him until hes about to go out of radar 5. Repeat steps 2-4 until he's dead.

Under rating threshold (show) So I'm fighting a living star? Great. I beat it by investing as equally as possible by force of habit.

Under rating threshold (show) So, all you have to do is keep moving in one direction, I chose diagonally, up and to the right, continuously, firing behind you and I died only once before making it to the boss... You do need some points in engine to be able to go fast enough to outrun all of the orbs this way but it does make the game very fast and easy (if you are looking for that). Overall a good game but I thought it could use better upgrades and a more interesting cast of baddies. 4/5

Under rating threshold (show) lol over complicating this. All you have to do is at the start of any level just move towards a corner really fast and just shoot behind you. Everything dies you win. Its really that easy.

Under rating threshold (show) -.-', Tactic = Just keep going sideways anywhere non-stop and just shoot infront of you to hit all the enemies trying to catch you because they all go in a straight line, and dont worry about getting the lil green orb things, they dont dissapear so wait till end of last wave then stop so you collect em and then upgrade and redo. It's easy for the badge.

Under rating threshold (show) + this if you think enemies crashing into your ship is one of the more effective ways of destroying them! cause seriously whats the point of trying to aim and shoot them if they're that fast and your shield is uber?

Under rating threshold (show) I HATE THAT BOSS!!! took me forever to beat him, the fact that he instakills you or sometimes spawns right next to you doesn't help either. As for the game, ether war is a lot better than this utterly broken shooter.

Under rating threshold (show) Well, I love the game, but it seemed to me that there was something odd with the firing, and then it hit me. When you move, the velocity of the bullets you fire doesn't fire, when, if you go by real physics, the velocity of the ship should be add to the velocity of the bullet. But that's just me being picky ^_~

Under rating threshold (show) This game has consumed about 50% of my time at work for the last several days. It's definitely among my favorite Kongregate sponsorships. Congrats to Kajenx for doing such a great job with this game, and I hope you all enjoy it!

Under rating threshold (show) Me followed your advice and yes, its worked.But,sometimes me died several times.You should shoot to all directions while moving diagonally to prevent mass rapid shots...

Under rating threshold (show) That's fair..make enemies that all slam into you at the speed of light..give you no way of outrunning them without compromising shield and firepower..which you need. Even if you can outrun them, all they do is spawn around you and smash into you from every direction. Another game where I got the medium, but am not going to to put myself through the shit of getting the hard..why do so many games make you start at square 1 when you die? Can't stand it...least it has WASD support.

Under rating threshold (show) hope this helps ^^ at the start increase ur turret and shield but keep engine at half the value of turret , then when turret reach 25 which is the same as shield upgrade both turret and shield but still keep engine at half the value, also remember to look at the radar at the start of each wave to make sure u don ram into a horde of minions..........lastly to defeat boss just wipe out all the minions before u focus on the boss.....STOP where u are and wait for the boss to reenter the radar then simply just MOVE ASIDE as the boss move mostly in a straight line(don forget to shoot it)....+ if this helps
