Enemies resemble moving obstacles more than planes when you can't shoot them down even when firing constantly. This was frustrating. I finished the game and still I have to watch as whole squadrons of planes just pass me by, unconcerned about my attacks. Not going to grind just to take those down.
Shopping interface is awkward and makes you waste money by selecting the first weapon instead of yours. There is no ending screen either. All in all I wasn't too thrilled.

The hand-drawn style of the game is fun but the actual gameplay can be a bit annoying. The shop especially is confusing to use and you can easily find yourself wasting money if you are not paying attention. It would be nice to have something pointing out to beginners that you need to equip new purchases using the relevant button as a lot of games automatically make the new purchase the selected weapon. Even more annoying is the way the shop defaults to the most basic weapon, rather than the ones you were last using - it's extremely easy to accidentally waste thousands of $ on bullet upgrades you're not going to use, which means even more grinding to save up for the upgrade you actually want and the game is grindy enough as it is.

Another wonderful game with its unique style! PRO-TIP #1: enemy tanks can sometimes hide below trees. You can still shoot them, you only need to spot them first by pointing where enemy fire is coming from. PRO-TIP #2: the BOMB removes all enemy bullet from the map when used. Thumbs up to keep this alive ^__^

The upgrade interface is a bit confusing. I thought the upgrade from bullet to plasma ball was disappointing in level 4, upgraded both a level, did not notice a difference in their performance. Didn't realize I needed to hit the Equip button after I selected the weapon i wanted and it looked like it was good to go :/

How are these badges unlocked:
Row 1 - last two and
Row 3 - last 1.
I'm guessing that the top two are for killing more enemies, but not sure what the bottom one was for. I guessed buying all planes and weapons, but that didn't do it for me.

I'm not sure if this works for every boss, but for those of you having difficulty with the last one, there's a sweet spot to the left of center (right above the end of your health bar) where his Purple Bombs will never hit you. Only the regular bullets will, and at a rate of 5 HP/hit, you can survive 149 hits. With all your upgrades, you should be able to defeat him if you've been collecting stars/money all this time.

There aren't words in any known language to describe just how awful the final boss is. After 10 minutes of bullet dodging and trying not to get seizure from the flashing every hit causes I just gave up.

kill was highly disappointing. I was like "Yeah, I'm gonna get the best weapon in the game", so I saved up. I then bought it and tried it out thinking "It probably just needs a few upgrades then it will be awesome". Oh how wrong I was. You would think that the most expensive weapon in the game can wreck some havoc on the enemy ships after it has been upgraded a couple of times... So yeah, to all of those that are just starting the game: Don't even consider trying it out H Bomb, forget it is even there. Go for the Frag Bomb instead.
