Save up for the BFG... On level 14 I got 88,000 cash, let the enemies keep spawning until the max amount of them are out (when they stop popping up) and shoot the BFG at them!

Far out there is a lot of complaint here (as usual). Great game, well worth the high rating it has and badge of the day status. Personally I found it a great blend of challenge and fun (and some brilliant weapon ideas), but if you ever program one of those yellow laggy monster things again that makes me go blind, I will hurt you :)

#1 Flaw: Having to pick up money which eventually disappears which enemies prevent you from getting and is hard to pick up. This is a GAME-BREAKING flaw, and as such I give this a 1/5 because the one reason we play is to get more money to get better, and if we can't do that well then there's no reason to play.

OK the money system can get a bit annoying but the game would be too simple otherwise. I think it makes the game just that bit more challenging which is good. The shop where you buy weapons is horrible. The graphics and detail created a cluttered and confusing feeling for me and I think this game could be improved. 3/5

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)

Is it really so hard to let us keep the money that we collected before we got killed? Or at least let us replay levels that we already passed?

Got to love the brain of the dev????'
making a black screen when you clear a course but then cant see where the enemy spawns
to many times no those fresh spawns have killed me just before i get beamed out.
To many flaws in this game.

You can replay the levels when you've completed the game. I worked for Arc Spread then Thunder then Duck Death then finally Big Laser. Seemed to do the trick for most of the game. Like Militant8invader said, going inside of the final boss and using thunder works well, I could only finish it off with Big laser though. Nothing else seemed to work. Its possible to have every gun by around early level 50s at least. Definitely has a nice difficulty although it is a little unbalanced at times. Graphics are nice and game play is smooth. When shooting certain guns I'm getting quite a bad delay though. Picking up money isn't an issue as it would be too easy to make money if it gave you everything that dropped, there are a few levels that dish out huge amounts so it kind of evens it out. Biggest issue I had was with the area going black at the end as it stopped me from seeing where things spawn causing many deaths. All in all, good game but can be improved. I enjoyed playing 3/5

money is plentiful if you dont suck but a vacuum is necessary to make the game better. most of the higher lvl weapons suck (especially the quack shot). Big lazer is good in combination with lightning for end boss. Make your ship upgradable is also needed.

lightning + shortshield on bacteriazilla... killed it in LESS THAN 2 SECONDS!!! thanks Militant8invader for the comment.

Farming:
If you really want to be ready to farm for money, get a large aoe weapon that can take out a large group of enemies at once, at one spot. Vortex + Bomb, or even bomb alone can be good. When you're close to the goal, get a ish ton of enemies following you, then blast them at once and grab the goodies before the timer runs out.
Strategies
Obviously vortex + bomb is nice. The Lightning weapon has immense damage at about the exact spot your ship is. You can sacrifice a hit to jump on top and blast the heck out of a spawner. The last weapon is a fun weapon. It can attack only one enemy at a time, but if it kills it, it will seek out the next target automatically. You can fire then switch to the next weapon directly after. Sometimes better to die rather than win with very little money gathered. The Ricochet is a solid early weapon. I prefer crowd control over aiming. I keep the lightning weapon for its versatility, energy homing missiles, and the last weapon.
Good luck!

i've noticed a few typos through the game, such as.. 'Energy homers will seek out targets slightly slower THAT the 4 homers but with much higher damage' just thought i would mention so you can fix :)

i died mostly couse i rush to get money before it disapears couse it does or new appeard monsters happend to spawn under me while i get money its a pain you should add magnet or get the player all money on the screen at the end or something better yet let them keep it when they die so they can collect a bit :D

Okay, if you want to kick butt get the lightning weapon!!! That thing can wipe out the whole field sometimes. Then the BFG is a good back up or the big laser. Anything you want for the third slot.
P.s. For early levels the arc spread and spiraller are killer. The are not bad for level 30+ either.

Militant's advice is very useful, but a follow-up to that is that if you use the short-shield immediately after using all of your lightning weapon, then you will either destroy him out-right or he'll be very weak, so I went with lightning, shortshield, and then the faster homing missiles, and I killed the boss fast enough that I did so while taking damage the ENTIRE time, I actually died BEFORE beating him, but the homing missiles finished him after I died, and it let me beat the level anyway.

needs ship upgrades and possibly some shield power ups and make the weapons upgradable so damage increases or recharge time decreases

I know I'm not the first to point this out, but this game has two things I think horribly cripple it. 1: You have to be ridiculously close to debris to pick it up. 2: There's no replaying past levels in case you didn't pick up a decent amount of money, except by restarting the whole game.

Too many undocumented ways to change weapons. On some levels, accidentally bumping the scroll wheel is fatal. Since my mouse has a very sensitive scroll wheel, it eventually made the game unplayable.

How do you disable that stupid "what the fuuuuuck! hahahaha" sound when you die. I want to have sound on, but this is extremely annoying.
