Decent for a bit of time filling, but it gets a bit dull fairly quickly. I found a combination of ninjas and pirates worked well.

Three ninjas and cat (or witch until you get cat) seems to be the best combination. Get 3 levels of Candy (which is plenty to beat the game and still upgrade everything fully except Magnet, which you really only need 1 level of) then prioritize the upgrades in the order that they're in on the screen. Attack, Speed, Special, Health and then Magnet once you max all those. Game is fantastic. I love it.

Not sure why people seem to think ninjas are always the best. The 2st unlocked character, Cat, is a little weaker and a little faster than ninja, and can use Frenzy about half the time, making it MUCH stronger than ninja. The extra speed allows you to outpace enemies by around twice as much at that point, and Frenzy allows you to deal MUCH more damage when you need it. Witches are also solid, as their special stat allows fast recharge, they have decent attack, and Brew allows them to get ninja-like speed and good damage, with more health (As ninja you get 2-hitted). A combination of Cat and Witches gives good damage, speed, and special and decent health, with the special making it AWESOME damage and excellent speed, which will be on around 3/5 of the time.

robot,cat,two fairys, and you cant die, not easily at least plus everytime you heal you get more fire rate and more candy to spend meaning well you aint gotta worry about dying as often and dont gotta worry about not getting candy, if you fully level up special youll be golden, currently maxed everything out, currently on wave 13

I definitely prefer games with permadeath, but this game was okay, 3/5 Stars. I followed NanakoM's strategy in the top comments, reached the final boss on Wave 13 on my 2nd try, and beat the main game on my 3rd try. Wherever you may be now, thanks for your advice.

Creators should consider adding small bonuses in rounds that we are not hit in. They add up as we progress through each level. Just an idea.

This game is great in it's own simplistic way. i would have rated it 5 stars, but i don't like it very much myself. still great though :) have an apple

I can't seem to see the right and bottom edges of the screen. Is that an issue with for the devs, Kongregate, or me? I'm playing on Chrome.

Would be better if the game was more than 5 minutes. Few tips, Movement is useless passed lvl 2-3. same with attack. Candy is good, but the game is too short for anything passed 4 to effective. I use level 3 candy. Health is the only real option to max.

I eventually got 34,000 with 2 ninjas, a Cat and a Knight. That's the best combo I've found. 2 ninjas and 2 cats also work well, but if you get hit a lot the knight will let you survive long enough.

The gameplay is fun at first, and the idea is just amazing. One thing I didn't like, though, was how you have to restart with nothing if you die. Yay, this feels incredibly rewarding! The exp system kept it interesting at first, but when I sit for 15 minutes just to see the bar fill up half-way, urging me to play another 15 minutes in hope of achieving something worthwile, I simply lost interest.
The cake is a lie.

Enjoyable progression of each level. As stated previously, Ninja are the way to go. Using 4 Ninja, I beat the game on my third run. The ability to shoot behind you is critical for the last boss. I would also recommend upgrading candy as soon as possible. I had all stats maxed before the final two waves, making them fairly easy. The upgrades are minor, but still noticeable. Candy seems to improve the type of candy dropped as well as the frequency.

the maximum amount of candy you get per round is, even if you kill everyone, quite random, sometimes first round can give less than 25, sometimes more than 50, which makes your progress through the skills tree and thus the game, quite dependent on luck. (exponential effect with candy upgrades)
