Quite a great game. The two issues I have are that; 1. ..You expect me to read the text as I fight? and 2 is that, even upgraded, the gun is rather slow and the spaces between shots is very wide, making it hard to hit small targets. I beat it on normal, but Hard...may have to wait. I enjoyed the rest of it though.

i agree that the hp upgrade on the main gun is a waste, but the speed upgrade makes the bullets move faster, making it easier to hit distant targets.

Here's my improvement of branimirb's guide. First upgrade the main guns damage and fire rate by three tiers. Ignore HP and speed, those are useless. Once those upgrades are bought by 5 extra drones and upgrade dronerepair to 2. Get the 4th upgrade to damage on the main gun. Follow his guide until he tells you to build laser turrets. Instead of building turrets upgrade the health, build rate, and amount of fighters you have. Those are great at drawing enemy fire.

the checkpoint system needs some serious reworking. a new chapter will start will enemies from the previous chapter are still on screen. i kill the enemies and receive the respective ru, but if i die in the new chapter and respawn when the chapter started, the enemies that were from the previous chapter don't respawn with me and therefore i lose any possibility of getting that ru back. essentially the game sometimes makes it unable for me to get ru, which is a huge setback on the hard difficulty

@ice4ever thats why, since EASY is so EASY that you're waiting most the time, you move on to the next difficulty and, guess what, now you're SHOOTING most of the time!!!

I just encountered a game shattering bug.
On about chapter 8 of Hard mode, I lost and tried to restart from the checkpoint. However, every time I clicked restart the screen would just flash and go nowhere. I restarted my browser and the game and chose "Continue (Hard)." When I did that, the screen simply floated forward as if I'd started a new game but there was no ship on the screen. Clicking the "Upgrades" button showed a screen with the ship but no upgrade icons or options. In otherwords, a totally crashed save.
I have a feeling I wasn't far from the end but I'm a bit hesitant to try again...hopefully this isn't a commonly occurring bug.

Great game, but could use [Next Wave] or [FastForward] button, on easy mode you spend more time on waiting than shooting.

Wait. so. Ok first: SPOILER ALERT. Alright so in the end, all humankind is screwed anyways? and the only evidece that we ever eisted are two AI? Eh. I had to say. you kept me guessing abot the storyline. Never before have I played a game quite like this. Thanks for givin me a great time. 5/5

Great fun - I agree with death2mepart about it's hard to keep up with the story, but I found the gameplay to be a great draw. Music would have been a good addition. 4/5

Upgrading you turrets fully, hundreds of RU. Accidentally selling them because the sell button looks like an accept changes button and there's no confirmation...priceless.

So... tell me how, exactly, I am supposed to hit the turrets BEFORE destroying the ship when the ship's components are in the way??

My turret seemed to fire and move on its own. Its pretty difficult to target a single tiny enemy with a slow moving, apparently automated turret. 1/5

I would recommend all of the above "fixes" plus:
1) It is really hard to read what each of the upgrades are - perhaps a separate, larger screen so I dont have to squint to read.
2) It is very hard to follow the story dialog during combat and that text box is really, really tiny making it al most impossible to read
3/5.

Reached checkpoint as i was exploding, so i cant restart from check point. at chapter 9..... I really dont even think the devs even read these anymore.

There should have been breaks in the game, between the levels, or something. That way the story line could be presented in a more understandable way, wouldn't distract from the game, and wouldn't make me feel like it's one ongoing, infinite, endless level.

The upgrades are awful, the graphics are minimal, the game is way too hard at the beginning, and yet I still find myself wanting to beat the game. The fire rate upgrade for the "Ultragun" doesn't seem to do a damn thing, even with three or four upgrades I'm still firing a rate too slow to hit anything reliably. The drone repairs only seem to work when you're not fighting (which rarely EVER happens). The dialogue skips many lines at random times, so in the off chance that you get the chance to read it, you miss half of what they're saying anyways.
All this aside, it's a good first game and I'd love to see a sequel. 3/5

desperatly needs hotkeys and battle music. also, when you're in the middle of combat you need to be able to actually read the dialogue without diverting your attention away from the enemy. 3/5

The text at the prologue and epilogue are too difficult to read, and the character chat during fighting doesn't work because it's DURING FIGHTING.
