This game does have it's lingering issues, The lack of replaying is clearly one of them. The other seems to be a "fairness" delay when switching weapon, Although personally I've found this can kill use for items like the Timer, and Tornado which are designed to act with other weapons. I ended up Lightning, Slow Time, and the Duct of Death as my main three weapons. (A free tip for anybody who's stuck on a boss, If you activate lightning and then go overtop of the boss, It can inflict the highest DPS output in the game, Beating out the Duck of Death. The duck is just for extra damage)

I love the mechanics and humour in the game but it could have done better with another upgrade system. But nice 3/5 game!

Dont know why everone hates this game ? Kinda challenging than the regular lame boss fighter models. U definitely need strategy and skill to beat this game.
Having said that stages should be replayable atleast one time.

This game is horrible. The controls are unresponsive and very laggy. No wonder I didn't play it back then; won't do it now, even for the Badge of the Week.

Game was a 1-star when I played for the Easy badge. Got medium now and went to level 21 before deciding to quit because it's STILL a 1-star. Did Kong go through a time where they just gave everything badges, even if they had ridiculous concepts like this game's "No replay levels + bullet/monster hell that makes grabbing money a second thought + badly needed weapon upgrades costing so much it negates the "screw money" part of a bullet hell." I'm looking for a game, and it's certainly not here. This is punishment, and if I wanted punishment, I'd go get arrested or some other nonsense.

Why on earth do the coins dissappear, considering i have no magnets to pick them? Make them stay on screen or put an effing magnet to that effing ship.

This is by far the most torture filled game I have ever played. Never have I ever considered killing myself over such a boring game. The only reason I even continued wasting my precious time one this retareded game was to get the Badge of the Week. Don't play this game

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.

it makes no sense - "enemy quota destroyed, double points and cash" ... but you get points and cash ONLY when you destroy enemy quota, if you don't destroy enemy, this means you see "Game Over" sign and get no points and cash

I can't even shoot properly, no matter how many times I clicked my mouse. I rarely, if ever, get any shots out between clicks and even then it's not enough to convince me to try and get the badges, let alone the badge of the day. How do you expect me to play the game when I can't even play it?

Because picking up the money items was such a pain, on some levels I didn't even bother. The small ones I just ignored since....pin-point precision is required to get them.....and they are sitting right where all the mobs are congregating/moving past.

So much of my concentration was focused on picking up all the little money pellets that I felt like I was controlling a Roomba :P

Whoever thought this game was a good idea, either was a majestic gamer or had too much free time. No replayable levels + weapons are the only upgrade and cost money = the possibility of being stuck on a level, like, for example, 17.

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.

Every level can be done with these weapons: Arc Spread, Big Laser, Lightning (the best one to get, use it on every level once you have it). Those are the main three. There are two boss levels where it helps to have slow time, levels 27 and 58. The only other weapon you may need is the rail gun for early on. But otherwise, the rest of the weapons are just fluff.

Such a good game(fun upgrade,fun control,fun enemies) with a really bad feature (5 sec wait after win, money spread everywhere and no magnet)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game needs a lot of work like a skill tree instead of just having loads of random upgrades also a ship to collect cash and the worst part is no replaying of levels whats up with that

Well, it seems that you can't replay levels is major turnoff. Well if you buy wrong weapons or want better ones then you are screwed. Seems gameplay wise very stupid decision. I don't why gamedesigners makes it so, it stupid to me.

Best way to get around the can't replay early levels is to group up things on levels that you can and blow them all up at once ending the level, collect all their drops with 2x bonus. I had all the weapons halfway through the game and half of them suck... BFG and Lightning are amazing on most levels.

Can't replay levels, weapons are your only updgrades, can die after winning?, can control with arrow keys but weapons only switch with 1, 2 and 3. And you aim with your mouse. In other words, if you type with an AZERTY keyboard you can't switch weapons. This game is so poorly optimized the highest it will get from me is a 2/5.

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.

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.

I earned over 330k on levels 15 and 16, the first time I surpassed 100k, the requirements for Six Figure Salary. It says I AM connected to the Kongregate server [green plug], but refuses to update my score. Unless I have to die WHILE holding that score, in which case this badge is crap, making an already flawed game [inability to repeat levels] even worse.

Seeing past comments I saw the Dev of this game respond by saying levels ARE replayable... AFTER beating all 60 of them. WTF?! What's the point, it's done, over with! Only being able to get higher score is hardly an incentive for replayablility. The real point of replay is to accumulate cash for the shop without having to advance if you don't want.

You could make it so we can't replay any past levels, you could make it so we're not invincible after reaching the quota so you can still die if you're not careful enough, you could make it so there's no magnet to instantly get all money left on the field and from enemies I kill between the quota and beam-up or any kind of money magnet whatsoever, you could make it so we can't upgrade the ship's firepower or rate of fire or HP or defense or maybe HP regeneration...... BUT --- not all in the same game. At least put SOMETHING, any of those would have been fine.

As soon as I noticed I could not replay old levels, I downvoted. For a badge of the day [Feb 1, Sunday], that requires a non-Easy "score value", that is integral. It's ridiculous. A lovely game otherwise, but I can't give it a positive rating.

Just got the hard badge. The trick is to use the BFG, the energy homers, and the duck, firing the first and last of them whenever they're ready and using the homers while both cool down.

I have a weapon combo that can carry you through to the 40s/50s (depending on your skill) They are: homers, energy homers and lightning. I cannot stress the importance of getting lightning as early as possible; it's the best weapon in the game. Tactics: Hold down the mouse button for the energy homers and the homers (they give you a huge combined DPS) and use lightning as a basic rifle to do your grunt work.

It would help if movement and switching weapons wasn't the same damn hand. I died because I had to move a finger to switch weapon...
