I decided to max left booster and Fuel reserves. Went full speed in one direction, got distracted, came back to my computer 30 minutes later and the hedgehog is still flying...

I wanted to love this game. I really did. But it is so broken and based on pure luck (especially for the badges), that I can barely give it a 2 star. I would give it a 1 star if not for the fact that it seemed well intentioned.

day 4: $11,948,442, was trying to go as high as possible (hit mars on 3rd day) but got tired after 15 min so let it fall sideways for 15 more mins. I think i somehow skipped the fun in this game tho :(

who the **** decided to make this game a badge of the day, it doesn't even make any sense? im upside down for no reason, and no matter which way i pull the band it always does the same thing with almost no effect on how high i go. I can only hope the game is actually broken and needs to be fixed. if not then kong has lost their ****ing minds :P.

Okay, so apparently the best strategy later on isn't skill, it's just...letting your hedgehog bounce off of every platform willy-nilly, using up all the fuel on purpose, and you get a ridiculous amount of time in the air and height. I don't...what?

I survived so long on a single day trying to get to the moon that i got enough money to basically teleport myself to mars. Sadly it was 6 days and not 3.

Having a problem with this game. Whenever I start, I can't stop myself from spending all $40 on adorable accessories for my hedgehog, and whenever I earn enough money to get an upgrade, I immediately waste it on more accessories. If anyone else has this problem, and knows how to fix it, please help.

I dunno if it's my comp but after the e rocket upgrade, it wouldn't fire, then the side rockets didn't fire for me until I lost all momentum. I did not enjoy this as much as the previous ones. This was a frustrating grindfest rather than a fun grind fest :( unless you get lucky and don't have all the platforms incredibly far apart before you get the radar.

After all these years, and comparing to what we have now and what was released back then... it's 100% accurate to say: this game is a huge crap.

This is getting annoying. After playing one round for what felt like forever (clock said 35 minutes, but I don't know if that is for only this round or for all the rounds together), I decided to just stop give up and go to the shop. The problem is, I don't see a button that automatically ends the round, and falling straight down is taking forever.

The strategy by Muskar works fine, all you need is some stroke of luck. If you managed to get to the moon on day 1, then you're certain to get the hard badge.

You can not get the badges in Free Play Mode, do not make my mistake, 2 hours of my life... Thank you jmtb2 for not clarifying this :<

I get that you need to launch through the ground first, because you're using the gravity of the earth's center to gain some speed. But it feels so slow and underwhelming even when you're doing it right...

So it turns out you can't get the hard badge if you click free play by accident... I got $14,000 on day 1 only to find out I screwed myself...

Hey guys, I just did the hard badge in 2 days by spending the money on 1 height, 1 width and 2 bands on the first day.
The second day I made sure to get at least 30k. Here I spend my money on fuel sucker 3, radar 3 and as much fuel capacity as possible. From here it was just luck and trying to platform.

Okay guys, here's how you get the hard badge. First, you want to try and get enough money on day 1 to buy the level 2 goggles. Then on day 2 you should have enough for level 1 shirt, and level 2 shoes. On day 3 make sure you get enough money to max out all 3. Don't worry about the hat. With all that style added together, you'll blast straight to mars.

"First launches are always hard" You mean they're complete BS luck. 6 out of 10 launches there wasn't a platform anywhere near me so I had to instantly restart. I don't mind having to grind for money but 3 days? At least make it 5 to give us a chance. Or change the badge difficulty to impossible because it's a purely luck badge.

I usually enjoy launch games a lot. Not this one though. In the end it depends way too much on your luck and not enough on skills or upgrade decisions. I have no idea why this one got almost 4/5 stars, let alone a BOTD.

Like everyone else here has said, I really don't understand what thought process went into the launching. It makes no sense.
