Step right up and spin the wheel of frustration! You will either 1) Witness a clearing of the skies for several seconds as you helplessly watch yourself be pushed by the screen edge into a pit. 2) Get really high and be plummeting down so fast that you can't react. It could be ground underneath you, but no it's a pit. 3) Run into a missle that you need to save yourself with, but it only bounces you up two inches and you meet your friend, pit. 4) There's no aircraft from the very start, except for that first one which boots you in the ass right into a pit. 5) You're falling to the right, but will be saved as long as the pit ends in time. Nope, pit. 6) You get extremely lucky your first try and wonder what all the complaints are about.

INTRODUCING THE INDOSTRUCTO TANk IT CAN SURVIVE EVERYTHING FROM NUKES TO SUPER ATOMIC LAZER BEAMS FROM SPACE but.
unfortunately it cant survive a small drop into a pit.

Running out of fuel mid-air and exploding when landing would have levelled up you is an extremely irritating way to die.
After it happened the third time I stopped playing.

The classic and enhanced modes are sort of fun, even if they are pretty luck-reliant... But the story mode is terrible. Sometimes you get circumstances where it is impossible to win, and sometimes you get ones were the only way to lose would be to actively work at not winning. And don't even get me started on the final boss. Seriously. At least most games have the common decency not to make the final boss a LUCK BASED CHALLENGE! What exactly are you supposed to do if the boss does nothing but shoot lasers at you until your fuel is almost out, or fills the air with so many missiles it's impossible to get down far enough to hurt the boss? I'm giving the game 2/5, just for the little fun to be had in classic and enhanced mode, but really, if your excuse of a story mode is as terrible as this, just leave it out of the game entirely.

Also: GET ME A RESTART BUTTON FOR THE LUCKY LEVELS! I get tired of having to switch from keyboard to mouse to klick through two buttons every 15 seconds.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
based way too much on dumb luck. on the last boss, the satellite dish thing kept on only shooting lasers, so i couldnt get off the ground >:(
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Adventure mode is based way too much on luck for my taste. Plus, somehow it doesn't really give you fuel back from your combos. 11+ combo = 1mm of fuel? How does that help?

huh... weird typo for the second medium badge. someone managed to spell "impossible" so badly, it looks like the word "medium". Don't know how they managed that one!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Whoever decided that it had to default back to the mission select screen each time you die instead of having a restart option is clearly guilty of crimes against humanity.

ok now they are just being ridiculous - they just posted on facebook. How about fixing the bug before asking more players to fall for it?!

With Enhanced Mode, try not to get the red planes until the end if you can help it. They really screwed me over trying to get the badge

omg they just put this on a quest???? i already wrote this game off three times before, now i have to do the dumber of the two dumb badges - sitting at 1080 - need 1082 to advance, and you guessed it - empty skies and grounds just driving waiting to blow up from - ahem - lack of gas - dumbest game on kong

Failed because the XP bar didn't hit max off of a 50 combo before the fuel ran out...seriously? Was fun-ish right up until that point.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Okay, this is seriously messed up. 7 times in a row, the final boss fired the beam for more then 10 sequences and fired a single missile. one. What, the, /fowl/, were you thinking? Did you test play this at /all/?

Terrible terrible game, the randomness the shocking controls and the inability to permanently mute the sound and music just makes the whole game frustrating.

I enjoy this games overall mechanics and story mode but I have to agree with the others. It is just frustrating and I am not going to do it anymore till next time this daily badge comes back around since that is when I last played this. All you would have to do is make the game not end till you hit the ground and that would probably fix most of the problems. But also how can you go from a screen full of plain to killing the last one and using the jump and have no more plains on the screen. Thus destroying your combo and any chance of surviving. Also remaining fuel should be added to your total when you level so a good lvl up does not hurt a later bad lvl up. stars updated to 2.

I don't mind so much that the game is based on luck; many games are, and they're still fun. What gets to me is that fuel gets depleted in the air *and* that you need to land a combo in order for it to count *and* you can die while in the air. These three together make it really unfair, because they make the player lose when they go for a big combo. You're basically punishing the good players. You should have done one of the following instead: 1) Fuel doesn't get used up when in the air OR 2) If I'm in the middle of a combo when fuel is up, wait for me to land, then if my points are enough to level up then level me up otherwise game over OR 3) When fuel is up and I'm in the middle of a combo, determine if my points up to that point are enough to level me up, then level me up (preferably while not cutting off my combo).

level three in adventure show just how bad this game is. Pure luck and boring. too bad it is badge of the day so I "have to" play through it.

I would like to win this conquest badge but it's a little hard when there's no planes in the sky. And how on earth do you lose fuel being bounced around in the sky???
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
.... so I am in the middle of a combo (45 long so far) that was started almost as soon as I leveled .... and I ran out of fuel. How do I use fuel bouncing around in the air? Seems kinda dumb.

note to devs: i don't want to play a game hundreds of times in the hopes that one of those times the stars will align just perfectly for me to win. this game is like a really frustrating slot machine that never, ever, gives you money. 1/5

"Sir, the tank is ready," Says Col. Sanders "Should we run it with only a little fuel to reduce wear?" "Yes, Colonel." Replies General. "Okay, firing the motor in 3...2...1...Sta-"BOOOM!

This game was awful, I'm sorry. If it weren't for the badge of the day, I wouldn't have even bothered completing it, the final boss was THAT ridiculous.

After many attempts I finally earned the Xtreme Tanx badge. I found focusing on upgrading Bombers and Miners first, spreading any extra EXP I had each level on Bouncers and Gunners, and upgrading Seekers last worked best for me. The Seekers kept hitting me too high and I would miss many combo chances.

on enhanced mode, you should get experience while in the air. I'm always the air when i want to get onto the ground. I just end up dying with no gas

I HAD ONE MORE FREQUENCY TO BUY THEN I GOT THE ACHIEVEMENT. I ONLY NEEDED 100 POINTS. I WAS ON A 70 COMBO. AND I BLEW UP MID AIR BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF FUEL. I HATE THIS GAME.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
well you've done it again Kongregate. Another frustrating game for the BOD. I hated when Indestruct Tank part 1 was the BOD, but eventually got it...this one is just as annoying -_- thanks.

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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
