Fun game, and the easy badge was actually pretty easy for me. But the only way to get the hard badge without totally losing your mind is definitely to use the Right-Click, Play trick after 2 launches on the first level until you can buy everything.
The way I did it was to aim almost completely horizontally, fire with full power, and then use Freak-Thrust 3 times in a row and then the skis. Ended up at 7500 and am saying goodbye to this potentially fun, if all of the issues were fixed, game.
Good luck to everyone else.

Easily the second worst launch game ever (Shopping Kart Hero being the worst). This game basically requires you to purchase certain items at certain times, and there's a lot of experimenting to see which are the right ones to buy. If the author didn't have you lose after a bad round, this game might get more than one star. Maybe three or four. But that simple choice has doomed this game into the piles of unplayable crap games that litter the internet.

I think this is the only 5-point badge that I can't get on Kongregate...how did I set a high score and not get the badge? Terrible...

Just a bad game design in my honest opinion. Not only do upgrades scale with each other which results in distance scaling exponentially off of money, but money also scales with your past distance. Thus if you miss any upgrade you could've gotten in the early levels, you may as well restart the whole game because it's going to snowball into a dilemma anyway.

Upgrades severely limited and only like one of them is permanent, rapidly increasing difficulty that you can't keep up with even if your upgrades WERE permanent, no music, sound effects are extremely annoying, complete restart if you lose, need I say more? I don't know how this cruddy game even got badges. The graphics are the only halfway decent thing, and even then the 3D objects look really cheesy. 1/5.

Ok, so here are my thoughts about this game. 1. Controls are awful. On top of having to do everything near-perfectly in order to get past a level, the power/angle thing becomes increasingly irritating as you get further in the game. Making it go faster does not add a challenge, it just makes it more frustrating. Graphics are ok, not my cup of tea, but decent. Music, none, unless you count that annoying 'yee-hoo' sound effect. Gameplay and upgrading system is a mess. I personally don't like games where u have to repurchase upgrades every round, it seems pointless, and a creativity bonus...? Lame. It's a good idea and not bad for a 'prototype' (which it obviously isn't considering this game has been on here forever with no sort of updates) but what it really lacks is playability.

wgy does this game have badges? There are other games on kongregate who deserve badges and dont get them... like Electriman 2!!!

I don't usually comment but this is pretty awful. The only reason this game has badges is because nobody would play it if it didn't. :/

The thing about this game (aside the fact it´s the worst game ever) is that you don´t have the chance to do a diferent route for winning, you have to do the exactly same thing you did before in order to beat each level, like buying two Freakys to beat the second pilot and stuff...

If you wanna beat level 3 and get the badge, you have to use Freaky wisely... And that is all, level 4 is kinda like... impossible

#1 All you have to do is Fly three times then Right-click when the stats come up and press "Play", Buy creativity bonus, Repeat step #1, Repeat that until you have a $1000 then buy all 3 blasting powders ($115 x 3), All 3 Cans ($45 x 3), All 3 Skis ($55 x 3), All 3 Freaky's ($65 x 3). Then aim at about 30 degrees and use all 3 cans right away, then the 3 skis, then the freaky's and you get the hard badge

I love how there's absolutely no correlation between when I click the mouse and when the game decides I clicked. Horribly made, horribly boring, and just horrible.

Personally, I had no problem beating the game but after several runs of approximately 6800 I beat the game and was asked to restart. But all I want is the "Hard" badge that requires me to get to 7000. You should be able to go continue flights with your fully upgraded plane after you beat the 7 pilots. Otherwise you are forced to play through all the easy ones again!!

This game is VERY easy, got the Hard badge in the 6th round, or less than 30 minutes. Just like Dedrood said in the Best Comments section, buy Thrust up to 3X each round. Then change your firing angle from 45 degrees to as horizontal as possible for the rest of the game. After you buy 3 Thrusts, buy 3 Skies, then 3 Freakys, then 3 Powders, and then buy 2 Creativity. By the end of the 5th round, I was able to buy all the upgrades for the 6th round, and with the 7th round I had about $2000 left. In other words, THIS GAME IS PURPOSEFULLY EASY IF YOU PLAY IT RIGHT!

This isn't a hard game just badly made. Dedrood's strategy of spamming the thrusters on launch makes it a piece of cakes as long as you don't somehow screw up ski's and freaky (both basically the same thing). Why anyone thought it'd be good to have smallish on screen buttons to use powerups instead of keyboard keys is a mystery.

All this game is, is clicking the mouse at the exact right time, and then waiting patiently for another chance to click the mouse...

When you plunge into the water, use your boost. On your next launch, you will have extra lift AND your original amount of boosts.

this game can seriously use an auto-save and it would be cool if it was a bit more like toss the tuttle (no competition)

Just got the hard badge after three attempts. I found it pretty easy, just follow the hints given by Dedrood and the game become very simple.

So if you fail on a level (because you didn't but the perfect combo or made a mistake), you have to start over at the beginning? Absolutely TERRIBLE idea. 1/5
