It's really fun, and the artstyle is pretty nice to boot, but these types of games really should have an option to use your bombs with the RMB.

I tried out the H-bomb, thinking it was just weak because of its slow firing speed - nope, it actually deals low damage. Somehow, despite it having the highest listed DPS of any weapon, I can kill single enemies more easily with a Sonic Shot. (Frag bomb doesn't seem much better, though - its special ability might triple its damage, but the sucker can't aim.)

Wait a minute. The glitch that causes enemies to mercilessly spam bullets whenever the game is lagging was in the original Notebook Wars too? Nrrrgh. . . Screw you Matakukos. That's unforgivable.

@Scruffythejanitr Couldn't imagine how a person using that name could be such an arrogant prick; thank you for the example.

In 1984 this game was called 1942. Although the hackneyed idea is still as dreadfully boring today as it was back then, at least the weapons in the original arcade game weren't "spit" or "wadded balls of paper". Rock on and enjoy if this is your cup of tea, but with ridiculous grinding for overpriced upgrade costs, a control scheme that is simply dumb, and the weakest weapon in any game ever, I can't find one redeeming quality in this game.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that stars aren't supposed to appear so close to the sides of the screen that they're unreachable, cause, you know, it's annoying missing one star because of that.

Last boss if you don't want to super upgrade to win just fly up his open sides to get him to spread his fire enough to have huge gaps when you wing back in front and up his other side. Liked the other one of these better. But this one was ok. Got a bit tedious and the rockets blowing up after x seconds was annoying and made them almost less useful then the ones before.

BUG:When the final enemy of the level comes,try to get close to it,then wait for the you win screen come let he kill you and it appears "you win" then "you lose" at same time. if the losing screen somes first you lose but if the you win screen comes first you win.

i dont believe in anyone saying Frag Bombs are best,and everyone knows the most expensive thing is better than everythin' else so...

For those asking: the ground units have the stars in them (the bunkers, tanks, trees/ents that shoot at you, etc). So blow up those tough ground units and they will leave the stars for the level.

This game is incredibly slow and grindy. Yikes. Anyhow. Don't worry about progressing at first... If you can get to level 3 without upgrading, kudos 'cause that's where the REAL money starts. Wait 'til a lot of enemies come on the screen, press space, collect, repeat. Just farm, farm, farm. Get the extra weapon slots first, then save for the lasers. Do not worry about the other weapons or waste money on upgrading. All of that is worthless right now... Next, save for Helicoptor, then worry about upgrades. After that, win. :D Thumbs up to keep the guide alive.

Perhaps it should be explained that stars are earned by killing the heavily armored turret-like bases that are positioned on the ground. This can be done by using a Nuke, or by firing a fair amount of bullets at them.

This game gets super laggy for me if my mouse touches the edge of the screen. Virtually unplayable after that happens, sometimes it recovers though. DementiaDisdain: Really? REALLY!? You disappoint me.

Strange. All the latest upgrades to browser and Flash, and tha game bugs like crazy. First level... where the boss is supposed to be (I guess), I just fly on and on, no enemies, no end of level. Buttons can;t be pressed once I quit (not finish, as mentioned above) the level. What gives?

What little documentation exists needs proofreading.
No documentation on upgrade or weapon effectiveness, craft usage, how to get stars ... oh, never mind.
Rule #1 of game design has been forgotten here: think of the user experience. Making me discover the game facilities through grinding is not my idea of fun. Making the BotD depend on hidden-agenda badges is simply uncouth. There are plenty of other game designs that treat me as a valued participant. I don't see any particular value in continuing this. The jakey art work is cute, but loses its appeal when the game controls lag or fail, or when combat effects do something unexpected faster than the eye can follow.

He was smart about one thing... Crashing into enemys doesnt give money. On the last few levels i could make more by suiciding then playing all the way through.

speed upgrades are worthless and boss took full 10 minutes of sitting there
little advantage for not playing autopilot
4/10

Oh, and make upgrades like "decrease enemy bullet speed" or something. To the previous comment: not "should" but "could". Sorry.

Maybe you should make some planes that e.g. is more fragile but faster and attracts money from greater distances or something?

Final weapon is underpowered as previously indicated by everyone else. I would like more upgrades: better extra effects (increase frag for grenade, blast radius from h bomb, etc.) upgrades for your bombs would be nice too (how many you can carry, their power, etc.). I know you've made more versions of this game so you probably have improved on these features. Good game once you figure out not to get the h bomb though.

Well, after closely observing the shooting patterns of the final boss I came to the concluson that he does not actually want to kill you... If you just stay still, maybe 1 out of 20 grey bullets will hit you. I think he just threatens you and is secretly trying to escape...

i though by laser beam they mean huge epic glowing beams that extinguish all the evil in the notebook and not a bunch of unfried wieners

Absolutely infuriating. The weapons are so weak, even after tens of thousands of dollars in upgrades that enemies are all but invulnerable. You just can't kill them. Horrible, horrible game balance. Tedious and frustrating because you can't kill anything.

Pretty slow at initial build up but once you've farmed enough to buy the right stuff, early finish. Buy 3 slots early then weapons. Frag is the best no doubt.
