I like this game, however, the controls don't work for me. I do not use a mouse. I simply just do not use a mouse. Haven't in a few years, and without a mouse using my trackpad in one hand for fire direction, and then letters for movement and numbers for weapons both from my opposite hand doesn't make the game fun. This game has potential!

This game has a lot of potential but is ridden with all sorts of problems. Picking up money, having movement that is counter-intuitive and needing a separate "game" to give tips on how to play this one.
1/5 Would not recommend.

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.

You don't keep anything when you die and you can't replay old levels. This game is LITERALLY the worst shooter I've EVER played in my ENTIRE life!

Hard badge here i come. thx to Squideer's Strategie with the Lightning Weapon use inside the final Boss. Don't shoot to fast, so you can beat the Boss with 1 full load of the Lightning (he dies in 5 sec. with this Method)
For me, the hardest Level was 58, because of the very fast random apearing Jet enemies, but if you go there more with "defence" they can't touch you (using Lightning, Slow Time and Shortshield). Waste Lightning, the use Slow time, avoid the enemies until Slow time runs out, then use the Shortshield. After this the Lightning should be fullfill and can be used again. With this method, it's harder for teh enemies to hit you

Don't buy vortex, not worth the money and I can't get my money back, I don't think I can progress now =[. I should have got the big energy gun. Arc spread, 4 homer and lasar lock have been best value for money so far for me.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.

Do you guys remember when the BotD was chosen for a high quality game that was engaging, fun, and well developed. I do. That is why this game is being rated 1/5 by me. Kong, if you are reading this, have the person responsible for selecting the BotD actually PLAY the games before making it official!!

With the complaints about this game, all legitimate as far as I can tell. I am amazed it is rated so high, maybe I have higher standards? Why was this game badged anyway?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you need money to buy weapons,but there is no other way except beating the level and continuing challenge a harder level. But there is a lot of monster prevent me from picking up money?? so where would i get money? no money => no weapon => can't win => can't get money = stuck ! AT LEAST,let us keep our money after death! you seem don't want us to play ur game. if there is 0/5, i would rate

"Instant death to anything to anything it touches" It seems that I know different definition of word 'instant' than this game developers.

On level 7, Cannon Fodder, if you destroy all 4 of the spawners that make the little triangle ships, you can't finish the stage and have to refresh page because no enemies spawn from outside of the arena.

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?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
