Under rating threshold (show) Originally posted by 2much3time:I beat the game last night.. so here’s a bare bones guide: 1. upgrade cannon 2x 2. upgrade smart missiles 3. upgrade tri shot. 4. upgrade ally ships 1×. 5. max out cannons – engines – ally ships – shields. in that order. 6. profit. General strategies: - always be on the move, your shields regen extremely fast when you’re not getting shot at. - try to stay in the area between your base and the enemy red blob base so you intercept and tank most of the enemies. - once you get the auto aim missiles start the farming while killing the bigger yellow balls with the HP bars. - at full upgrades kill the rest of the yellow balls and destroy the red big orb

Under rating threshold (show) Having a hard time leveling up? PROTIP: Be Offensive. Be Aggressive. Base defense is how you lose. (also upgrade your cannons first)

Under rating threshold (show) why don't the bigger targets give more ether? takes forever to kill them, to get the same amount as he things that take 1 shot :(

Under rating threshold (show) Such a great game, there are so many elements to keep track of I love it. At times I do wish I could see the health and regen of my base turrets but I can live without. It's tough to keep track of what is actually happening at times but I think that's what makes it fun. Nice learning curve too. The first time through I did terrible not really sure what was going on. Second time, I scraped by and managed to win. Third I won with all base turrets in tact. The only real disappointment i think in this game is after you deshell the "sun" I would have loved to see it go beserk and become tough to take down rather than kinda just rolling over and dying once it doesn't have any defenses anymore

Under rating threshold (show) the trick is to not stand inside the base. Go outside it and fight the small enemies from there so you take minimal damage. Doing this will also lead your allies out to aid you there. In this way, the base will live much longer. from here, you try not to get killed, and get smart missiles after upgrading allies and cannon 1 or 2 times. maybe shield once. From here you can start standing next to yellows, but don't follow them before you have lots of upgrades. When you have almost all of the upgrades, start shredding the ywllows. The red sun is easy once you got the yellows

Under rating threshold (show) "The enemy has upgraded." That translates into "prepare for hell as they all storm your space station, and you've only gotten 3-4 upgrades, and the explosions of too many enemies and your space station kills you when you spawn".

Under rating threshold (show) I think my one complaint would be the lack of station health meter. Ok, it's taking heavy damage, that's great but 1. where and 2. how much can it take? Also, making it more clear that you can lose station parts would be helpful. I didn't realize that until I had lost 2 cannons.

Under rating threshold (show) tips: always keep moving and stay between the station and the enemies to keep them around you. First upgrade allies and cannon alternatively until 100. Then upgrade triple shot, shield and smart cannon. Finally upgrade engine to chase the yellow orbs

nutshell

Jan. 09, 2012

Under rating threshold (show) As for the big upgrades, rush the triple, there should be a good point in between allies and cannon that you can afford this. This will help bring down the inner cannons. I take triple, then smart canons, then secondary shooters, i usually finish before i get the last one. To take out the first layer of cannons, get one level in sheilds and 2 in engine, and then one engine and one sheild per layer. by the time you're ready to take out the 2nd layer of cannons, make sure allies and cannons are maxed and you have triple shot. try to stay out of the center, the sheer amount of cannons will kill you, and 10 seconds can be an eternity if you're behind a level

Under rating threshold (show) That was an excellent game! It felt like a real future battle, with scientists that will instantly do things for you if you give them enough junk, evil orbs, self replicating items, and no friendly fire! Man, the future is gonna be crazy. 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) This game is really well done. The franticness of the units makes it similar to a real dogfight. Also as you grew stronger so did the enemy. Making it to where youcouldn't just instantly win by having superior technology or firepower. The orbs around there base did provide a nice challenge to. A little tip to beginners of this game is to upgrade you allied units first.

Under rating threshold (show) Great game. Graphics, aurora background, almost every damn aspect of the game is great! if there's another one out, i need the option to tone down the # of particles. Also, the respawn counter is a little over the top. When your base is getting completely destroyed, and you have to wait 10 seconds, it's almost a given your going to lose.

Under rating threshold (show) Excellent game. I enjoyed playing this for the half hour I spent on it. A quick and easy repeatable game with different paths each time. Beautiful graphics on the stars you fight. I found it a challenge to figure out what I was doing, until I realised I should attack the mothership and found out what to do. Whoever had the idea to make this game, I love you.

Under rating threshold (show) 1. upgrade cannon 2x 2. upgrade smart missiles 3. upgrade tri shot. 4. upgrade ally ships 1×. 5. max out cannons – engines – ally ships – shields. by the time you have tri shot you should be able to kill the yellow guys, then after you upgrade everything take out the big red guy. Sometimes i dont even need the shield upgrades to win =)

Under rating threshold (show) Kind of a short war story where you are put right into the action without much to say. That's quite unusual, but it feels cool. I enjoyed this one. It's definitely worth getting Badge of the Day.

Under rating threshold (show) When the message"Space Station is taking heavy damage" appears, it means one of your station's modules (either Allied Ship generator or a Turret) was destroyed. **Also good tip: get yourself a cannon upgrade at the start to farm ether more easily, then upgrade 2-3 times Allied Ships so the station is more self-sustained. Then you can go on and purchase upgrades as you see fit (Smart Missiles is OP).

Under rating threshold (show) I suppose this is one of those games you use to waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I loved this game. But I mean, there's no story behind it and that's just fine. Back to my point towards where this game's meaning isn't to accomplish something out of it, it's just to enjoy yourself and spend a quick time having fun. I would highly recommend this game as a 'Quick on&off'

Under rating threshold (show) Great game it had a little bit of everything. An extensive storyline that sucks you in and won't let go. Edge of your seat suspense. And a romance that Twilight could only wish it had. Top it off with the perfect hero who get the girl, a villain that you love to hate, and the perfect comic-relief side kick that you can't help but love. All this in a 15-20 minute upgrade shooter.!
