If I'm not mistaken, is this game inspired by the NES game -Raid on Bungeling Bay?
I gotta say I enjoy the simplicity of this game compared to that NES horror XD

Oh let's all try to destroy a single helicopter while the civilians run away and escape in moving trucks! I love this game.

Second training is too confusing for me. I destroyed the power plant connected to it, and i placed bombs on the war factory. I placed a lot but nothing happens. wtf is going on.

you must play the tutorial for getting the badge and not the first 2 levels of the campain, if that can help anyone who has problems in getting the badge of the day

oops... destroying a cv building results in -100 score, not +100, didnt see the minus. So i should stop destroying all of them :)

My brain must be wired backwards - I always have to choose "inverted" controls on game systems. Anyway to to add an option to change the keyboard commands? Although I guess I can fly in reverse if needed. :-)

Hardest part of the game is rescuing POWs. Here's HOW to do it:
1) Start the level on EASY mode.
2) Approach a camp from the water, going around the coast out of range of turrets.
3) Spend a life taking out nearby defenses. They respawn quickly so manage time carefully.
4) *TO PICK UP POWs* you must LAND on the big "H" at the camp (Helipad). Blue dots will come to you. Wait for them to board, take off, fly back to the ship.
5) Land on the ship & any POWs in the chopper will be totally saved. Once a camp has been emptied, go back & destroy that area's war factory QUICKLY. Kamikaze is useful; you have infinite choppers.
6) If your chopper dies, any POWs onboard will die too. You don't need to get them all in one trip, so just get who you can then take off while you still have health left. *You can't fire your gun on the ground!*
7) Remember to kill any bombers you see over the water, because YOU LOSE THE LEVEL is if your ship is destroyed.

I like how when your on the carrier the enemies attack you instead of the carrier... Turret 1:"There is a helicoper on the carrier should we attack the carrier or the helicopter." Turret 2: "Obviously the helicopter, its more of a threat, we could take them both out by attacking the carrier but god forbid we do something like that." Turret 1: "Ok all turrets shoot the helicopter."

Ok, here are some tips for people having trouble with mission six+ First, if you blow up an Airfield/Tank Factory/Harbor, all the units produced by it also explode. This is extremely helpful in the case of the airfield, because trying to land and save any POWs with more than one fighter nearby is pointless. Second, as far as I can tell, you don't need to save any POWs at all. I saved the far left, far right, and upper right groups and blew up the center ones maintaining the airfield with no hesitation. Also, when your copter crashes it does about as much damage as three bombs, so A) Don't crash on a POW camp that's taken damage, and B) even if you'd die, flying straight over a big target and just dropping bombs until you get taken out is very likely to destroy it.

If I fire my maingun and move the helicopter, the shoots move also in this direction my helicopter moves. That's really an issue. Once a shoot is fired, it should travel its path and not be bound to the movement of the helicopter.

They could have at least notified me that CV meant civilians. All those families died before I even realized what I was doing.

In a perfect world, we'd have had a sequel(s) to this game AND all the Creeper World games. But that's just me being greedy ;) Love this one *almost* as much as the Creeper Worlds.

Way too repetitive game. I dont see how mission 6+ is supposed to be done honestly. Ignore gatling gun, inaccuracy+low dmg+overheating makes useless coupled with how fast stuff respawn, no use except getting rid of bombers harming your aircraft carrier. Bombing ANYTHING except your main target is useless because of FAST ENEMY RESPAWN. TL;DR ignore everything, just bomb what have to be destroyed and just level it all with the ground and crash chopper after chopper.
2 stars

Halfway through mission 3 realized CIV are civilian "target" and they take off points if you blow them up. Oh well got to love total war.

A pleasant remake of "Raid on Bungling Bay" from the C64 days. The nostalgia was great as I used to play that game for hours. This can be considered an update to an old classic. 5/5

Not bad, but never really in any significant challenge. The bombers are the only thing that can hurt the ship and you can just suidide bomb airports and you can just suicide bomb everything else after if you get infinite choppers. I think a three chopper only challenge mode would have been a good challenge.

Attention, In CORE destroying the main refinary does NOT end the mission, so save yourself some deaths and just destroy the minor bases to make it easier.
