Lol try not to get high on scraping, it's fun and has its benefits but just don't get high or you'll die. Trust me I've done it too many times.

Bah! After configuring your ship the way you prefer there needs to be an option to turn off coin drops I can't see bullets cause of the coins dropping.

IMPOSSIBLE BADGE TIPS: First of all, get the 'interceptor' ship. Play on kamikaze (no hits allowed) and casual (bosses and enemies are weaker and bullets are slower). Completely focus on dodging, money won't be a big issue. Get 8 cannons and 1 rocket (yea, the ninth weapon slot is in dark green and hidden but if you click on it you can buy a weapon there:p), and 3 power booster, 3 overdrive drive and 2 Absorption panels. The only hard thing about the impossible badge are the last 2 levels (Area 5 bonus 2 and 3), in which I show the tactics here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Nv1cLOamI Good luck!

For those looking for suggestions configurations, here is what I suggest to breeze through the game: Ship: Bomber. Weapons: 2x Laser, 6x Particle Launcher. Accessories: 3x Advanced Targeting, 3x Power Booster, 3x Magnet. For the most part, you can stay near the bottom, nudge side to side to dodge a few bullets, and let magnets collect coins.

Actually not too difficult as far as Impossible badges go. Very last level will take a few tries, but very doable! Setup: Interceptor, all Missiles, 3x Absorption Panels, 3x Advanced Targeting, 1x SETA device (hidden slot on both Weapons and Accessories). Get the rhythm down for dodging as many as possible, then use secondary (with SETA to slow down bullets) to dodge the really close waves.

Heck... I just figured out in the end of all levels that you don't need to avoid bullets, but glide on them for multiple bonus. And sparks are not from damaged hull... it's awesomeness of the game flying around!

Actually, for me this was one of the easier impossible badges. My first time through, I played it as a tactician using both of the non-OHKO difficulties. Finished almost every stage, and got GOOD at dodging doing so. After the badges came out and I realized there was no difficulty requirements, I started a new file with the Interceptor, casual, and Kamikaze modes. This essentially multiplied my power by 4 or 5, and I was able to breeze through in about an hour and a half.

Decent enough game, however the death animation is way to long without being able to skip it, and it is way too easy to drag your mouse off the bottom of the game and suddenly you ruined a clean run-through

Gah! so close to the impossible badge! I wish I could see weapon stats and I wish there was something so I would know when the Emergency Device (accessory that turns enemy bullets into coins) recharges. I have some idea of when it recharges but I've died so many times because I used it to early or it hadn't recharged when I needed it. Great game tho. Looking forward to more!

This Impossible badge is rather easy if you play in Casual mode with the Interceptor. Go with an offensive loadout (scraping -> attack power, + boss damage, + secondary damage) for the majority of the game; switch over to a stall loadout (emergency devices, scraping -> energy, bullet slow) for 4-3B and 5-3B. 5-3B is the only real challenge with this setup.

just a thought i think it would be good if we could buy/sell weapon and accessory slots, having a maximum combination of the two, along with the other speeds and such so that part way through the game we do not have to restart to attain a preferable ship, because we are unsure of what is best before starting the first time.

how about an incredibly obvious retry button that you guys never bothered to put in? way too many people stop short and don't make that one and I am not impressed here 3/5

:/ Holy crap that impossible badge is totally living up to its name of "impossible" in a select few of the later levels

A minor quibble--I wish the energy bar had a greater contrast between full and empty. It's hard to see how much energy I have, especially when I'm focusing on dodging ten thousand bullets. n_n

Sorry but this game is much much too sensitive. Especially if you try using the keyboard. I was a huge fan of the previous two games, but without either a toning down of the sensitivity or an option to adjust it on your own I don't think I'll continue with this one.
One other thing that bugs me is the death cutscene that you have to watch EVERY time you die. Takes way too much time out of when I could be actually playing. Would be nice to be able to skip it.

No credits? I want to appreciate the work of every single person who helped make this. And find out that mission selection background song.

Theres no need to buy the upgrade where using secondary weapon slows the bullets down. The is already a far better one called Lag.

:P so many times I've completely dodged a super powerful attack then half a second later I get shreded by a microscopic bullet within my profile

Holy friggin' damn this impossible badge was the easiest to date. Took me ~1hr but maybe you can do better. 1.CasualMod 2.Interceptor 3.ParticleLauncher ONLY 4.AdvancedTargeting + SETA Device + Bullets to coins. Enjoy your 60pts. :)

The bosses here are harder, which I like, considering the ease of Frantic 2's bosses... but I loved the turret system of bosses and the epic music of this game's predecessor. Care to bring it back in an update/sequel?
