the lack of money magnet in this type of game is really crippling, with waves of enemies of good variety and nice controls, it's a shame such basic function is not implemented

One of the worst games I've played on Kong. The fact that we can't keep the money we've gotten after getting killed just makes this game tedious, boring, and awful 0/5 if I could

If the 58th level has taken me at least a hundred tries by now, with all the weapons unlocked, that's not me being below average, that's the game being bad.

I just played this game for the badge of the day. It's got all the frustration of old-school arcade shooters with none of the fun.

Here's the way to beat the final boss in literally less than 10 seconds; in fact there is a youtube video that shows this. Put Ricochet as weapon 1, Lightning as weapon 2 and Shortshield as weapon 3. The instant you can move, put yourself in the very center of the red dot of the boss; it has to be fairly precise. Then, put your aiming cursor so that you're aiming at the center of that dot as well. Then hold the left click to fire nonstop and the second you run out of weapon 1 Ricochet, press "E" to change to weapon 2 Lightning, then when it runs out, press "E" again to change to weapon Shortshield. If you and the aiming box are in the very center, the boss will die just as the Shortshield weapon runs out. It may take a few tries to get yourself in the very center of the red dot EXACTLY where you need to be, but it WILL work only if you are there.

Without being able to replay a level for cash, you could get stuck on a level you cannot win with what you have bought. But it was developed in 2009. Would be nice if they just popped back to an old one like this and put a couple fixes in.

Well. I think the game just outright lied to me with the Slow Time powerup. I first used it in Level 9, and it doesn't seem to slow down enemies by any significant amount... or at all, really. Instead, by using it, I just get a really blurry screen for 5 seconds.

I get so concerned over the money that I died on level 2 about 30 times.
Make a auto money collector or something already. Just because of that I would give this game a 3/4.

Your weapons are your only upgrades: negative; Have to beat the game to replay levels: negative; Losing the game after completing the mission: negative; No soundtrack of any description: negative. All these negatives costs a star in my opinion, leaving this game with a 1/5 rating for me.

I'm increasingly finding that weapons don't do what they claim. "Kills anything it touches"? Yeah right. Vortex suck in ALL enemies to a single point? Maybe a couple. Most ships seem to have more than enough power to break the pull of the vortex.

Levels are not well balanced. Some levels are way too difficult, and then the next, way too easy. Level 36 is too hard.

Last Boss - Energy Homers, Laser Lock, Big Laser ( For me this is the easiest way ). When you defeat the last boss you can choose level :)

a few things i would love to see changed
1) enemies dropping other things other than diamonds (i.e. something to heal me back up, or make me invincible for 5 seconds or something)
2)if i cant go outside the screen then the enemies shouldnt either..
3) some ship upgrades other than weapons (like armor for more hp, or a shield if i know theres no way to dodge an enemy and a magnet so i dont have to work twice for the money i already earned)
4)

Beginning: Your trying to get all the money you can
Middle: Your Trying to Survive/get money
Advanced: HOLY SH!T SURVIVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE

I don't mind if currency on the ground expires. I don't mind if you have to get exactly on the currency to pick it up. But if the currency both expires and requires pixel perfect positioning while enemies are charging at you, then I have a problem.

ship upgrades (health, speed, maybe temporary shields) would be way better than some of these incredibly expensive weapons.

I just love these games where I am dodging bullets, and next thing I know when I try to shoot my ship just stops until I click on the game again, by which time I'm already being blown up... games like this desperately needs a full screen option...

/Pay boredom for badges./ should be the motto of this game o_O. Sad thing is it shows that it has the, so to say, engine; and a load of weapons designed, yet it lacks any ardor! Fails of design manifest both in the non-replayability of the levels for the length of all 60 levels, and in menu design. The pause menu has continue a second 'option,' i dunno if 'quit' even prompts, moreover flaw I find in the main menu which happens inbetweenst each of the boring levels. Small buttons.. In a 15 x 4 rectangle, each denoting a level of boredom to get the most badge, is like saying "haha, can you face this might of dull?"
Makes 2009 feel like it was 2006... Oh wait, the flash games were hellishly skill-intensife back then. ,)

I like it, challenging yet interesting at the same time. Sure, there could be some improvements i.e money doesn't disappear, there could be a magnet to pick up money so you don't have to go marching into a wave of enemies just to pick up $300. + this if you agree.
Overall, I would give it a 4.2/5.

It'd be nice if the player's HP bar was more visible (either larger above the player or as a part of the bottom display).

Stopped after the first level when I realized I couldn't replay it and there was not an attractor item for the money. Not worth the play past the first level.

why isn't there a money magnet? I really annoying trying to grab money when you have to be pixel perfect to pick it up

for 100k score:
buy Arc Spread as soon as you can i use only this weapon. Play for 8-9 levels and you'll get the badge.

For the final boss. Just use Lightning and Shortshield. Rush towards the same spot as the boss. Spam right click while continuously swapping weapon. Boss will die like in 3secs.

the targeting scope is somewhat difficult to keep track. Maybe have it change color to contrast with each particular level. Just saying... :)

My bad, now I see that you actually can save up money. :-/ Still feels unfinished though since you can't replay levels but it says "fastest time" which implies that you can redo them to improve your time.

Fun game, but the fact that you can't save up money between levels is quite annoying. Feels unfinished to be honest. 3/5

Balbanes, you are NOT invincible after meeting your quota. It IS possible to die.
And, as far as badge getting goes, the point of replaying levels is to beat your previous high score. If it could be changed so that when you replay you do not get any money unless you beat your previous "money obtained" record, and then only get the difference in money.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yeah up, no magnet, no ship upgrades. no replayable levels, the random swearing at you when you die. no keeping anything when you die.
I try a weapon and its bad, I supposed to be just out a few lives while I die getting money because my weapon is bad. you got 'weapon does massive damage', and even 'Instant kill' on a early weapon that does poor damage. Nothing does significant damage of the things I've tried....but yeah. should be an auto collect at end of level.

Lag is making the game incredibly frustrating. One huge issue I have, besides the money collection, is once you kill your quota of enemies, you should be invincible. I have died so many times as the timer counted down. I killed what I was supposed to, why isn't that good enough? Still a great game though.

I have noticed that when you use the Lightning attack, that if you spin, it seems to shoot more lightning for those cluster-f*ck situations. Hope this is a good tip! :P
