for those of you having trouble reaching a 500/1000 chain, (like me) here's a tip that really worked for me: don't move at all!
this way you get to kill a lot of easy enemy's (the green and purple ones) but you almost won't level, so the harder enemy's won't come. This way i got a 500 kill chain at the end of lvl 3, and a 1000 kill chain at the end of lvl4!
But if you see a blue shield, grab it, it comes in handy :P

An important thing to realize about getting the chain trophies is that chain resets if you are hit, but if you have a shield (blue powerup) and you are hit, the chain won't reset. So if you're going for those trophies, try to grab a shield whenever you see one. (+ if this helps)

This game goes to show how well defined this genre has become. Solid execution, and many good choices for upgrades, enemies, powerups, ...
Might make sense to have the chain go up by collecting pixels instead of hitting enemies, as that would make the chain go up much faster at higher (more difficult) levels, and also solve the problem that the best way to build a chain is to simply not collect pixels. Seems counter-intuitive.

OMG! I went through a super playthrough and got to level 38, maxed out about 5 different abilities and got 3 platinum trophies! I was on a winning streak. My best tip is to right away upgrade the spread shot and rapid fire to at least level 2 for both. Then if you are going for max level trophies on different abilities upgrade them to max level and when it begins to get tough upgrade your rapid fire and when that gets maxed upgrade your spread shot and continue working on maxing abilities. As for surviving get your magnet upgrade up to a high level and fly around in large circles shooting at the enemies that home in on you and take out vessels ASAP. After some practice you should be able to get to a really high level like 30 and get the 2500 enemy kill platinum trophy. Good luck! (+ if you think this is useful so people can see it)

I like how the opening story is so vital to the game play, with all its subtleties, character development, and plot twists. ;)

Only issue I have is how to get to the upgrades whilst playing. Having to leave your directional keys to upgrade can be hazardous to your health. Still a very fun game.

if you wanna collect trophies the easy way fer this game, go like this:
lvl 1: avoid everything and don't kill anything for 120 seconds
after that, go for the turret trophy, but don't collect any pixels
then get your chain to 1000
then you should have enough points for the 1 mil trophy.
focus on getting the bronze and silver trophies first, cause they give initial point bonuses, which you can then use to buy each skill to max.
i already got the medals, but i never maxed out everything at once, so i'm playin till i do =P

I got 49 trophies but not the last "acquire all trophies" trophy. Are there hidden trophies? or am I having a glitch?? thx fun game.

Basing the types of monsters on the level of the player is simply stupid, for it makes the upgrades to experience to serve as downgrades. It is counter-productive to have higher levels, making the amount of fun u have playing inverse to the number of points. If u are willing to score keep the game boring? Good game, but should base the amount/type of monters on your score or number of kills!

Ughh...around level 30+ the "massacre" becomes so hectic that it becomes hard to tell what the $#&@ is happening! Lol! Great game. 5/5 My eyes hurt... °-°

%*&^*&% because this game was programed by a person that has never played a game and insisted on making the unlimited ammo not an auto fire, i was going for the no upgrading til lvl 10 trophy, was on lvl 9, getting a hand cramp from the aforementioned idiocy, shifted my hand and hit the back key on my mouse. so good job.

its a damn good retro arcade shooter. Suggestions : Bosses, they make everything more epic, and ya need just a little-bit more upgrade points per lvl up. But other than that, this is a solid pixel shooter. 4/5

It'd be lovely if there was an option to turn the background to a solid colour. Love the game, but playing it is hell on my eyes.
