Ah Frantic, the title that explains exactly how I feel and am in the cockpit of my ship among the many blazing stars that pass me. It's more fun to imagine being in the ship, yelling, panicking, and avoiding being shot down than being cool, calm and collected. Another great title that feeds the Sidescroller and Bullethell need. Now for the review and nitpicks. Gotta say, it controls really well, though I wish you did include a mixed control setting of mouse and keyboard. When I play as mouse I get a weird lag when I either go into or out of Secondary fire. Often the cause of my untimely demise. Keyboard is smooth and fine without interruption. Could be that I'm using a tablet with a mouse or the browser. Also I agree that the excessive death explosions are excessive. Maybe after seeing it 10 times you could skip it?

@archerngan, did you clear the levels? Otherwise, i'd consider refreshing or the tip from the memory thing at the start of the game

Not quite sure how to get the idiot badges... I have no weapon equipped and am gettin gthe Unarmed tag when I complete a mission, but I can't defeat bosses?!

really amazing game overall, would rate 5 stars but that explosion when you die is horrible so I'm sorry but i can only give it 4 stars.

And the winner for best usage of 80s music in an online game is.... Frantic 3! Seriously - I don't care if I loss to a cheap hit because the boss music was awesome.

Very challenging, but the save feature means that you can always pick up where you left off, and earning money even when you die means you can slowly build up to your ultimate ship. Good game.

Drunk brain decided it would be awesome to try and get the impossible badge after a twelver. Yeah, thanks for the frustration douche-brain.

now THAT badge was a heavy peace of work. Finally beat the last level unharmed with 1 particle launcher and 8 missiles (thx ivod for the hint on the secret spot) and 2 absorption panels + 5 power boosters. (suited me better than ivod's layout)

I kinda feel bad for the thousands of people I tear through… They're just moving slowly across the screen, not even firing weapons, and I'm like HAHA EAT BULLETS I WANT COINS! And btw, those are some frigging MASSIVE coins or REALLY small space ships

Came to get the medal for the Kongpanion earlier... Stayed for the awesome game =D
Also, after playing SO much Touhou (I'm a fan) I feel weird not being able to use the PoC to auto-collect coins, or not to die from enemy contact =P

5/5, though maybe you would consider adding in an option to disable money drops since in the later levels all of the coins obscure the bullets and I finder it much harder to see past the gold rain and explosions everywhere.

Oh THANK GOD I don't have to to do a string of levels unharmed to get this Impossible badge, like the first Frantic. I also like how you get some money even if you die. :D This makes that aspect of this Frantic way less enraging. XD
