This would have been a 5 star game had it not been for running out of fuel midair and exploding on a huge combo! BOO 1 star for you!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Lost twice to exploding in mid-air plus the empty skys. Really weird and annoying after having almost everything upgraded and there is still empty skies.

1 star...no balance...the indestructible tank will explode right in the middle of an epic combo. Makes no sense to use the precious gas whilst in the air!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Minor irritation: indestructable tank combusts after running out of flammable material. Major irritation: tanks combusts during the middle of a 104 combo. Just turn the engine off whilst in a combo, not difficult!

For people who are here for badge of the day - the easiest strategy is to always buy the cheapest planes. It might seem tempting buying those ground miners, but they're very expensive compared to the rest. By always buying the cheapest, you get the highest amount of stuff on the screen to score combos on, for the lowest possible price.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Badge of the Day tip: Buy bombers & bouncers to full, then gunners and a point of miners, then miners to about 5 or 6. After that, save up your points until you have a lot (I forget the #, but like 5k), then buy all remaining points in one go.
This is to help you control leveling and refueling: Too many seekers while you're airborne, or too many miners, and you won't land, so you'll run out of fuel, dying before leveling. You do need lots of stuff, though, to get big (& high) combos, but seekers are problematic, since they shoot upward.
And like the guy said: If you're high on fuel, keep the combo going as long as you can, to max the XP contribution to your NEXT level; only refuel (land) when necessary, if you can help it.

A tank that blows up when it runs out of fuel is pretty much totally destructible. It could just sit there and do nothing and still blow up. At least it's a Monday badge though and I can skip it and work on the other six for the week. But this game... LOW FUEL. Oh I ne.... BOOOOM!!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So...
Poor randomizer. There's way too much luck involved.
You shouldn't use fuel in air (at least when not moving)
Gain experience while airborne and perhaps an option through pause screen or other key to level up before hitting the ground.
Retry-hotkey, or at least a "Try again?" option on fail screen.
Persistent mute, including sfx. Also accessible through Settings in main menu.
Last but not least, a fixed - beatable - attack pattern for bosses.
These are improvements I bet everyone will agree upon.

BotD broken. Also... this game. THIS game. It is so frustrating! It is 90% luck, 9% rage and 1% skill. Also... indestructable tank you say? Guess it should self-destruct if out of fuel. That should really make it stronger.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why can't we upgrade the tank itself!? Like, surely we can upgrade the max fuel, reduce the speed of the fuel usage, increase aerodynamics, increase explosion magnitude... The list goes on!

Am I the only person who thinks the sound is one of the worst things about this game. It is extremely loud, you only can mute music and it gets demuted sometimes.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Devs apparently from Hollywood. Make sequel due to success. Sequel sucks. Difference between previous and 'enhanced' is? Pretty much nothing in terms of gameplay, except for some just-not-fancy graphical adjustments. Besides, there just is no mute option. Muting the music has to be done over and over every level/try. 1/5, didn't even try enjoying. Just came here for the 45 points.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think the mechanics of this game are pretty interesting but it's highly unfair that, just because I can't hit the ground before that fuel goes away I need to lose. Seeker missiles put me at a disadvantage in this respect.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I didn't want to believe the top comments about dying while the exp bar was filling. However, that just happened to me two times in a row, and I can do nothing but agree with the criticism.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I was really looking forward to this, but i've been let down. The graphics are better? yea right man. And I run out of fuel mid-air? What is this? It's not a bad game but the first one was so much better than this. 4/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The moment....you have a sexy ass combo going...like you are hitting 40 combos...and you blow up cause you couldn't hit the ground because of all the goddamned planes T-T
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The adventure is total crap, the complete randomness takes away from all of the fun when you end up dying 1/2 a second into the level in a pit repeatedly, or the satellite boss just pushes you with the lasers 5 times in a row, shoots 1 missile, then shoots more lasers.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Fans: "We want a sequel." Devs: "We'll make a second, here's the plan: 1) Contract out the graphics work to a 2nd grader with some spare time, 2) Give less fuel, and almost zero fuel bonus for 50 hit combos, 3) remove the radar, 4) add a crappy storyline, 5) randomize the enemies so that you might go minutes without seeing them, 6) add holes in the ground and occasionally spawn the tank right into them. Hope you all enjoy~"

Well, that's one badge of the day that I am not going to get. I have nothing against difficult badges. Purely luck based ones on the other hand...

A tip to all game designers, past present and future: DO NOT PUT BOTTOMLESS PITS THAT KILL THE PLAYER IN A GAME WHERE THE ABILITY TO JUMP IS COMPLETELY RANDOM.

1381/1382 Fuel. I was in the air when I died also, on a 3 combo, but I couldn't get down. Fuel shouldn't be spent in the air. Boom mode was taken out. 3/5.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why the HELL do you instantly die if you run out of fuel in the air?! Dumbest decision I may have ever seen in a game like this.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
horrible game. not even a game really if it is based on luck. no skill. just luck on if there are any aircraft flying around to keep you from falling into a pit...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The tank shouldn't be able to run out of fuel while mid-air. I'll be in the middle of a big combo, and I explode because I run out.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Classic mode or enhanced mode: We have finally made a tank which cannot be destroyed. Wow the driver is really good, lets only give him more fuel when he gets a big combo.
Enemy1: Eek they have made an indestructible tank, but it blows up when it runs out of fuel.
Enemy2: How does it get more fuel?
Enemy1: by blowing up our helicopters
Enemy2: send more helicopters!

Way too much luck involved. How can I be 1 upgrade short of being maxed out and have 5-10seconds of nobody else on the screen? 1 star
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
*table flip* I quit. This 2-10 seconds of empty sky is REALLY annoying...the amount of frustration is indescribable -_-
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
1/5 for the same reason basically everyone is complaining about: dying in midair when fuel runs out. Which is stupid since you don't get the experience points that save you until after you hit the ground. Also I muted the game but once I died the music came back on the main screen...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I can't even complete this in "Classic Easy" mode, much less "Medium Enhanced". I've tried the last two hours now and can't get anywhere near the badge of the day. Bummer.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A decent concept with some issues. If a third installment is made, here's a suggestion: make fuel deplete at a faster rate on the ground and not at all in the air, so the player isn't punished for sustaining a long combo before a score. It's a hallmark of bad game design to punish the player for doing well.

i died because there were too many planes and i couldnt land to get the checkpoint to live wth? I died because i was winning too much O_O

Countless attempts to acquire the badge all foiled because of shortage of fuel. Seriously, what does this "Indestructible Tank" have for a gas container? A watering can??
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
why did kongregate choose to have a badge from this game in the steel battalion challenge? this game is based on pure luck. i lost on lvl 1 because only 3 planes spawned and 2 of them dropped their bombs outside the screen
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Original idea, but the luck factor, especially at level 3 and the final boss is way too important. And the story is just horrible. So 6/10 for originality and the final joke.
