Many annoying things in this game, It has quite a few good points, But the long "Game Over" Screens are one of the annoyances and the fact that if you do not spec into the all around shield at the start once you get to the later levels, It justs gets nearly impossible to block anything as there is stuff coming from 6/7 different directions at once and the unresponsive barrier doesn't help either. 3/5

The screen rumble should never have been a feature in this game >.> one bad hit and its game over even if you are full life in the later levels, because than suddenly everything gets through due to the screen rumbling.

Why in the name in Heaven would you have a timer on a boss battle? Level 20 takes 1:40 to kill because you have to wait for them to fire at you. At least you get unlimited continues from your save.

Pro tip: Get heat seeking before the last level, it will speed up the final boss (which you can't just wait out, you have to defeat it) a ton :)

The sticky shield shot and the animator shield don't go together, sometimes the shield goes around me when I am trying to shoot

I had a glitchh causing the "game over" not to stop existing and becoming "part of the battlefield". On level 45. On general. The game may be telling me "You already know the outcome. Why are you even trying?"

I was all ready to rate this game one of out of 5 because I was seriously not enjoying it, but then I bought the sticky shield and life was... well, not good, but better. It would be much better if that sticky shield was available from the start, in my opinion.

i love the part when it gets impossible to dodge anything cause everthing crashes on you from every direction on the exact same time -.-

Just like the Vector TD games, Interest is key. Played through general once, this is what I did, *make sure you beat every boss for 5 bonus points. After each boss ... LV 10 5 interest LV 20 5 into interest LV 30 2 into interest 3 into antimater shield LV 40 2 into inferno 3 into heat seekers ( very useful against last boss ) ended up on heath 550 and over 400 million excess cash. After LV 9 3+3 shield & energy LV 19 6+6 lV 29 9+9 max shield bounce and energy cell. Fun game.

Timing out when fighting the boss: -2 (He's worth a buttload of money and bonus points. Extra point detracted because there's no way to grind for the resources he would have provided)
Mouse responsiveness subpar and occasional projectile making it through the shield: -1

For the hard medal, just buy the antimatter shield and hold space.
Thing is indestructible. Just wait out the timer when it gets too rediculous.

HAH theres a funny glitch with the overly long game over screen! if you press pause fast enough, it will override the game over and leave you with 0 hp, if you get hit it instantly ends the glitch BUT if you beat the level you progress!

Gotta take that back. Anyways, if you came here for an easy badge that is labeled hard, just because the game is old....this is more like an impossible badge.

For all those doing the hard badge as late as I was trying to today:
You can´t beat Wave 20 without the 8k Energy Infuser Update

Tip: Don't purchase any bonus upgrades until level 9, then get the missile heatseekers (costs 3 points). Game winner.

Completed all levels without a continue...............still no badge! Regardless, it is still a good (and at time frustrating) game.
