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.

To those of you complaining that it's too hard, I agree it is. Unless you use a proper strategy. Google for some, I've finished this game many times over several years, the reason why this game is highly rated is because people back in 07-09 didn't complain that games were too hard.

What a sucky game... 1. If you don't have the cannon angle and power set right. You lose. 2. If you don't make enough money to get the needed upgrades to go further... You lose. 3 If you lose... You have to start over which makes this game highly frustrating.... ESPECIALLY trying to reach 7,000m for the hard badge... >.

Good concept, but having to restart the game if you lose? That's not good. If you really want to keep it, have to difficulties, medium where you don't have to start over, or hard where you do have to start over...

Put a little persistence of upgrades in this game's design, for the love of god. Having to restart every time, and losing my items every time... I tried 3x and then I decided not to waste more of my life on this.

Terrible, terrible game. The arrow moves far too quickly and in order to get the upgrades you need to have a perfect launch which is impossible when the arrow is moving so fast you can't even see it. The fact that you have to start from the beginning after you don't beat the distance is probably the worst of it all. I mean seriously 20m off and I lose 20 minutes of my time. TERRIBLE. Too bad there's no 0/5 because 1/5 is a compliment.

That wath i dont like in this game is 1. You lose item who you purchase if dont use on current round 2.If you lose challange your game is "GAME OVER" So this game is totaly weak. 1/5 stars

This is a good idea but you gotta be able to keep your money after you loose. I mean it's hard enough as it is. Don't get me wrong I like a challenge but it just isn't worth playing.

ok..i beat the 2600 but how do you beat the next ??!! 5600. I had all power ups, couldnt get anymore plus max speed and perfect angle and only got 4800

I'm kinda surprised by all the hate. You have to remember this was one of the earliest "launch" type games. The genre wasn't perfected yet. No, it's not great, but for what it is, it's good.

yeeaaahhh!!! got the hard badge, heres the most super secret way to win, dont use your money after beating the 1st 2 guys to use it on the soda thrust, all of it, the next guy mr.happy, the part where it gets tricky, always shoot to the far right and yes use your soda thrust(s) after 1 click.from here on, when buying the upgrades always buysoda thrust, if you already have 3 now, buy skis 1, 2 or 3 of them, then when beating all the others do this the rest of the entire time- spend your money on all upgrades, shoot far right, then try to aim max, then use all your thrusts, then in order, when every time you hit the water, the buttons you should click- skis, freaky, skis, freaky, skis, freaky. remember: always time freaky super close for a better shot of traveling! + so others will know & seriously get the badge!!!

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!

yeah i agree the most comments here, highly demotivating game, you are not allowed to keep your upgrades and so on. short: sh** game
