trevor i had the recycle/ trade-up idea too but heres the thing, if u could get a 2 star by recycling 5 1's and so on, you could easily get the best weapons in the game just by playing the first level a few times and recycling the massive loads of crap u find

There should be a planet shop where you can sell, buy , and upgrade weapons and shields.
The rapid discharge laser IS FUCIN awesome against bosses.
P.P. GET RID OF THE CHANCE TO MISS!!!!

It would be really nice if the inventory was easier to use. For instance, if there were two item lists, a junkpile where all new items go initially and a favorite pile where you can move items to. Then add a "recycle all" button to the junkpile.

Why is it that the other fighters say that they'll fight like"Throttle up ladies get ready one serious fight!" and then the wing fighters just leave?

Quad Edge Grenade Launcher was awesome weapon, but things got pretty easy once I found it. Still played till the end -- this is an addictive and fun game. Of course I agree that the inventory, which could be one of the best parts of the game, is hugely frustrating. If enemies are going to drop weapons constantly, this needs to be fixed. Hot keys to select/sell an item would be start. How about two lists, one for shields, one for weapons? And then always sort them by rarity, or alphabetically, or some other system. One last suggestion: the higher your recycle multiplier goes, the higher your odds should be of redeeming a better weapon. So, x75, and you have a good chance of getting a 5 or 6 * weapon. Thanks for this game!

@flayersayer: They also add miss to give a certain degree of risk in using the weapon. There's a difference between a weapon with 100atk with 50% hit rate and a weapon with with 50 atk and 100% hit rate if you will physically miss some of those times. It just adds another factor to consider in the game which I think is good.

Personally, I found this game fantastic. An addition of usable skills would have made this 5/5 for me. One of the best side scrollers I've played in a while. Could use a little more difficulty with the enemies...I've seen one comment say that more columns of enemies would be good and I agree. That being said, I disagree with the comments about the chance to miss on a hit is bad...most of the guns have a very high hit percentage anyways, and the RoF of the majority of them makes it so you hardly notice. I relate it to locking onto a target, firing, then they barrel roll or shoot off a flare, etc. And I believe I saw one comment saying the enemy bullets never miss...they do, just only with one pilot.
Anyways, great game. 4/5 for me.

Rather than having a sort feature, I suggest that we can mark items which we wishes to keep and the unmark ones can be recycled by clicking recycle all( this doesnt recycle the marked items).
If you pay more attention to the game, it does put the better items at the top of the inventory list. So sorted is not that important I suppose

a couple things (which you won't see, since kongregate is doing everything in their power to alienate and insult their users by slowly leeching all functionality from their site) about the game: the recycling system is not too great. some suggestions: multiple-item selection; the ability to redeem for higher items (for example, if you can redeem 3 items, you should instead have the option to redeem for one better item); no junk items. i also agree with others' sentiments about the extremely high miss rate. it's ok to have the chance of a miss - and, at least we can see the hit/miss ratio - but it's still ridiculously high for many weapons. also, some options with regards to leveling would be nice. i still stick with a 5/5 for this game, since compared to the vast majority of games on kongregate, weasel games tend to look and play like they came out of a professional studio.

Awsome game game the chance to hit part is awsome making you have to choose between accuracy and att power very well made nice back grounds good story line could have capped off the ending after the final level though thats the only thing i think its missing but very well made 4.9/5 lost .1 due to the lack of ending

fantastic gameplay! the ship handles superbly, and the weapons go where I expect them to. Lovely backgrounds. Too many levels and some levels are too long. Loved the 'patched-up' bosses. Could be harder. 5/5

Those who mistakenly believe the Doom Shotgun x6 is the god of weapons have no clue... Try the Triple Edge Grenade Launcher... I beat the entire last level taking no damage and activating my shield only twice for the last boss... and I got every item drop and killed every wave of "mine" type baddies on the first pass... It is godlike!
Great game, but the lack of any kind of ending sequence is somewhat disappointing... I gave it 5/5, but was seriously considering dropping that just because of the disappointing ending...

Great game but can be better. Maybe challenges in some planets (Don't be hit, random equipment.....) and some achievements. Levels are too long. Wtf? Last level and 1 star items? Secondary weapon. Skills. Yeah, i say too many things but all are ideas. You have good ideas and the concept. 4/5
Best equipment:
QX-6 Rocket Launcher (6 rocket and 159 damage per rocket)
XM-xxxx Reflect Shield Unit

I was very disappointed at the end - I played the game for about 3 hours (only an amount of time I reserve for good games), just to see NO ENDING WHATSOEVER. So many missions, so much dialogue, and so many questions, only to have the game return to the "Level select" screen after destroying the final boss without any talk.
Argh. That bugs me so much. Good game - but disappointing at the end. 4/5

Would be nice if the equipment was separated (weapons separate from shields)
And if misses actually passed through the enemy, since it missed and all.

Need to do away with all the shield things. They're annoying. Recycling needs to give you good stuff, instead of more crappy shields. Perhaps make it the higher the number is, the better the gear.
Levels are boring and too long. Uninteresting patterns, and the enemies are boring, as well, with lack luster firing patterns. Bosses are simple.
The game could be a lot better than it is. 3/5

I wonder why did you go down so much on creativity? The enemies were way more interesting in Blueshift. I didn't get far in the game, but the weapons alsoo look less creative... Oh, and definitely do something about inventory screen! Would be four stars, but comparison to Blueshift (which is IMHO way better) lowers it by one.

contrary to what most people are saying, i like the idea of the chance to miss as it is a pretty original concept to this form of game, it just probably should be set to a lower frequency. 5/5

i confirm the request of a sortable inventory! and make a clear saving screen. i lost some good stuff by closing my browser while i was in mission! btw, really good game, no matter on "miss rate". it's like aceonline.

Alright. I liked it. However two things stuck out to me as being the worst. Enemy targetting boxes need to be adjusted. Having weapons hit the enemy, but do no damage, because it will pass right through is annoying. Especially when you get to about level 15 or so, with those weird missile guys.
Second thing. The controls. The keyboard isn't bad, but my ship should move when I tell it to move and should stop IMMEDIATELY when I tell it to stop. I don't like how there is that drifting/lag in the ships starting and stopping. It's like it's just sliding around. That is a pain in the ass.
Otherwise, cool game. The quad rocket launcher, and the 2X2 were cool, but hands down the best is the triple razor saw blades. They slay. SLAY.

Also, with the character selection, the attack power guy is going to clearly be king, because you shouldn't be getting hit anyway (because in the later levels, the damage tears you apart quickly), and his extra power helps offset the retarded Miss mechanic by killing enemies faster. The evasion character is just plain terrible, because he doesn't get more evasion, and the Evasion mechanic has the same problems as Critical Hits. You can't count on evading a shot consistently, so you can't plan to have it save you.
The game isn't unfixable, but in it's current state, I just can't give it more than a 2/5. Sorry.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The controls are fairly flighty, and the miss/critical rate mechanic is REALLY not a good thing. Having crits does not offset having misses, even if they have the same chance of occurring. Because you don't know when your crits are coming, it's not like you can strategize around them, so you're going to assume an enemy takes X number of "normal" shots to die anyway. But misses will still screw you over no matter when they happen. Not to mention that in this case, a miss inherently lowers your critical chance beyond the statistical percentage in the formula because any shot that misses automatically can't crit, even if it would have "rolled" crit in the RNG. The controls I can adapt to, but having enemies escape (or crash into me) because I have 5 shots in a row miss when they should have hit is infuriating.

makes me really wonder where did i go wrong with Battle Raven. I only got 2.5 in ratings... quickly sunk by the 12 year olds.

Dudes......i got this off some site. www.kongregatekracked.com. It says when using a reflector shield go in front of the cannon when its a about to fire and reflect all the shots. Also it says when you are fighting a long line go up the line while using the reflectoer shield and deflect ALL their shots. Also Best Equip is the cascade rocket launcher and get the really pwnage reflector shield.
