Cant believe they forced me to play this, but I got the card.
The game had a decent presentation and layout, but it just lacked everything a good strategy game should have.
So sorry, but once and never again.

wish the units had a little better AI...gets REALLY frustrating when your repair drones run off and die. Anyways, I'm too bored with this game to get the card now.

Everyone who plays this and says it sucks either have their expectations far too high or lack the ability to think, instead of mashing buttons. I liked this game, but it didn't have much variety, and controls also annoyed me. This needs a tutorial to get acquainted with using controls.

lol, useful info: in survival mode start 'dying' about 3 lvls before you planned to..
I only wanted card, but I reached 24 ^^ (and wasted some time only for waiting).

Well, if my Silo units hadn't been retarded and sat there not attacking in survival mode I might have finished the challenge...

ok game, but survival's hard to do. 100 ore and nothing to mine off of is not enough. there should be some way to get extra ore...even if the meteor depleted after 50 it'd still be ok.

Alright, here's a quicky survival guide:Build nothing but cruisers.For the first few rounds, let the mothership absorb all the damage by placing it in between the enemy and the cruiser.Alternate: Upgrade Damage/build cruiser. Build a repair bot after the 2nd cruiser. Build control bots as needed.Alternate upgrade/new cruiser after that.When you max out upgrades, start 'recycling' out old ships, get 2nd-4th repair bots.Best placement: just in orbit around earth. Keep control bots UNDERNEATH the mothership (green ring inside the mothership hull). Only level 40 and counting... with 18 full upgraded cruisers and 4 repair bots. Max control= 99.

....its just not fair!!!!! My game glitched up at level 30 and I'm stuck with a gray shadow for an enemy cruiser.......and I cant lose for badge or card!

For instance, upgrades should be applied to units that already exist, not just ones that are created after the upgrade is purchased.

Right vigilante, but I even had a problem with that, because as soon as you give the repair bot an order to repair it immediately goes in to automatic repair mode and runs off unless you baby sit it again. It should damn well stay off when you tell it to. Frustrating.

To someone earlier: the repair drones don't listen to you because you have to toggle off their standby repairs state (indicated by the green wrench button which turns orange).
Not a fan though. Unresponsive units, poor app performance, and just plain wrong choice of unit-to-playfield scale.
If you want to complete the survival thing without dealing with that crap all day, move your control drones across the mothership and use the Stop command to hide them under it. Do the same with a group of repair drones (make sure to re-enable their repair mode after you stop them!) They'll take little or no damage while your cruiser fleet sweeps the area.

nvm, i just finished the req. for the hard badge, i got 4300 points, i think. now i just have to wait for it. and you guys do know you can select more than one drone right? this way, you can move a bunch of them from one place to another.

I'd also have to add that its absolutely impossible to keep track of unit hps when they stack up on eachother and cover up their own damn bars. Starcraft for instance has bars over the portraits in the selection field... why not this? It's a logical and rather simple addition seeing as the dev already has a unit portrait window implemented here... not having hp bars just seems lazy. Or a massive oversight.

2/5, okay concept but its buggy, has terrible controls and AI, and the lack of a pause button, all made me want to choke the dev while trying to do the survival mode badge.
So many times I had control ships disappear underneath my mothership, or repair ships spin in circles, and the mouseclicks never, ever respond the way you want them to. Try to click-drag a box to select a group of units and move the camera or something stupid instead. Stopped playing as soon as I got the badges.

This game is good, but it would be nice if in the next version some things were fixed to make the UI more responsive.

Honestly, the controls of the repair robot need some fixing. You cannot unselect him easily and if you try to select a different ship or the mothership it goes to repair it.

i got the medium badge and the card and i could have gone for the hard badge but i was bored stiff so i just cancelled the game :P
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Mine drones' pathing is idiotic, they run at each other in circles. Also, you couldn't implement an autoscroll for putting the mouse at the edges at all?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I got the card and badges on my first attempt, so I have no reason to bitch and whinge about problems which won't impede any half-decent player. I _still_ give this 5/5, it's a superb game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
wow, survival is so impsossible the first few lvls cuz you get like no money at all and repairing costs money and when your mothership gets hurt you gotta repair it which takes more money....you should be able to get an asteroid to gather from not that stupid '100$ per lvl' crap. hate this game!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
threres a lot of control isues in this game, you cant realy tell you drons to atack just to move and it sucks. A lot of the time i find my units dying just because i cant get them to do what i want fast enough

A nice looking game, but quite buggy/infuriating. It took half an hour and two refreshes to get the card and hard badge (first badge went okay, so I submitted a bug report for the hard a little prematurely, sorry!). Your drones often just sit there and take fire, and I don't think the shapes they move in when selected in groups helps at all. Ideally they'd be either close together or spread out in an arc, but a pentagon or hexagon isn't really useful unless they are guarding something. One slightly helpful addition could be to highlight all damaged drones to make it easier to pull them back to be repaired. Silo missiles appear to move faster relative to cruisers when there are more objects on the screen, fixing this would be appreciated :)

Like many have already said, the survival mode isn't right.
Having said that, I really enjoy Arcade mode while I were playing that. Quite fun

The AI sucks. Whe your ship chases another ship, it stops to shoot, and that gives the enemy time to run away. 3/5. Survival is too hard.

game was hard at first got really easy so i stopped producing drones and lost at wave 40 and then submitted but didnt get badge or card
