I love this type of game, but I rated 4/5 for some reasons: | 1. It's really hard to build a symmetrical ship, it needs something like coordinate (which allow the player to type in the coordinate and make the selected part move to the coordinate) or symmetry option just like in "Bubble Tanks 3"'s tank editor | 2. When you get low damage, I think it shouldn't shout HIDE, as it is impossible to hide, red tint around the screen is enough.

Wave 1: Well, let's take a look! For the beginning I'll take the most first gun.
Wave 2: Just noticed a weapon creator... I'm gonna create THE MOST EFFECTIVE GUN EVER!!!
Wave 9:I keep creating new awesome guns after every wave! (Now I have about 16 modifications, but who cares about the space?)
Wave 10: Well, seems like 6 of the most first guns with a couple of energy updates show better results than my most powerful and "cheap" gun for 126k $... *delete* *delete* *delete* *del...

This was a good game until, I saw the giant gray circles that chase you hitting you and are the strongest enemy in the game.

I just put three on with max speed and damage and one tick over minimum energy. I spread them as far apart as possible all pointing forward. The ship needs some upgrades to perform, but I was no where near the endurance achievements and only lost a couple levels all the way to the top going for this ship. I guess, I could have improved the guns instead, now I have so much money put into the tank I can't get back. The last level pays a ton when you lose, also, so you can buy a tick in power if you lose, lol.

not the best game ever but a good start which could easily be built upon. One thing I would like to see is some were to store you extra guns to make trying different techniques easier. Keep up the great work.

my tanks aim is wildly off.....gives me the player somewhat of a disadvantage
game locked just when I was progressing from 12 ...mega fed up!!

That feeling when you make a machine gun which has 10 energy per shot, and your energy regen is faster than the machine gun can fire.

I had to drop a star on this game from 4 to 3 because I cannot make rhyme or reason out of the asdw controls. They are intuitive WHEN they work. But sometimes the key that was moving me in a direction just .... stops working mid movement.

Some really cool ideas that are unfortunately all held together by crap for mortar. The ship handles as well as a trash can being rolled down a hill and the collision detection of the bullets is nothing short of laughable. I hope that in the sequels FAR more time was spent to just get the core components of a shooter right as that would go MILES for this game...

Fun game, aforementioned bugs thankfully don't break the game, but when I save and come back later my weapons are rearranged and/or deleted. Still great game, 4/5 even with bugs!

I was enjoying this game up until wave 39. When large kamikazes are hitting me for 50, and suddenly I'm swarmed by giant homing rocket ships that are nigh impossible to dodge en masse and hit for 400, I get pretty frustrated considering my resistance is upgraded further than anything and they swat me out of the sky in just a few seconds.

So. I'm like halfway through the game and I haven't upgraded anything yet. Was waiting for the need to arise and welp. Haven't seen the need. Seems kind of disappointing to have a game about upgrades and customization but have the starting ship be so good at healing and strafing that basically all upgrades do is make you win faster.

I would like to get another medium badge for "getting all sixteen in-game achievements", because that took me QUITE some time.

Not to one up oddish, but you can maintain 1014 by staying near the exact center of the map using 240/10/9/240/0 guns in all 24 directions @ $82629165 a pop. THOSE should be the progression from your standard "kill everything in sight" 24 direction cannons that can be completed while finishing the main waves (240/10/9/0/0 @ $372065, quite a bargain for how useful they are). If you really want overkill perfect combo, you could make the nuclear option and make longer/shorter versions of the 240/10/9/240/0 and with maxed out energy and recharge your ROF will never hiccup, even with 48. Practical? No. Hilarious? Yes. Also, never build a 240/10/9/0/x. Seems practical until you realize all shots will home on the same target, which basically means with 24 you'd be firing mustaches that fly around you until something that's far enough away to not die instantly distracts them.

$40k gun doesn't fire bullets, it is an aoe around the ship.
As an aside, a small area blaster is better than any of the guns pre-made... get about 100 area, 4/sec fire rate, and maximize damage. I settled on 50 energy per shot, as a range where you can easily run 3 guns... and things die fast! *Final damage was 220 without replaying a bunch.*

For some reason, when I try to design more than one gun, the second one doesn't show up. I tried deleting my first gun, thinking that might be the problem, but it didn't fix it, meaning that I now can't add any more of my first gun to my ship. Bleh.

I made a 6x multiplier and never made it past the "enter name" screen. The game must have started, but I never saw it.

Beat level 40?!? I can't get past the Kamikaze onslaught of level 29!!!
Fun time waster, even if my survival is unlikely.

I tired making a weapon, but now it won't let me start because it says I don't have one, even after selling the custom one and buying a regular one

Very buggy in the gun management. When I remove guns they often get stuck in limbo - not active on the ship, but not refunded either. And the built-in $40k gun doesn't show its bullets in combat.

@ oddish: That's exactly what I did. Tons of fun! Could even be done without crafting any custom weapons. I personally hit 1017 ;)

I fear I have to give this game a 3/5. Too many bugs, I guess. My ship will stop moving at obscure times and the busy background throws off my perception, ensuring I don't realize I stopped moving until it's too late. And, for whatever reason, my guns won't always sell. Not game-wreckers, but discouraging to say the least. :/
