it's not that i don't mind picking up the money... i just wish there was some kind of magnet so i don't have to be so exact...

Seeing past comments I saw the Dev of this game respond by saying levels ARE replayable... AFTER beating all 60 of them. WTF?! What's the point, it's done, over with! Only being able to get higher score is hardly an incentive for replayablility. The real point of replay is to accumulate cash for the shop without having to advance if you don't want.

So much of my concentration was focused on picking up all the little money pellets that I felt like I was controlling a Roomba :P

Instead of *forcing* us to close each weapon panel, just put a Weapon Info Area so we can quickly select through all of the available weapons - oh, and put a money magnet, for the love of all .....

This game would be much more enjoyable if we could replay levels and grab some more cash. As it is, it's entirely possible to end up in a lvl the you can't beat and have no money to buy new weapons. 3/5 a good game but needs work

Yeah it's convenient that you can use mouse wheel to change weapons... However when you scroll the mouse wheel... THE BROWSER SCROLLS TOO!!!

Yes, right when I meet the quota, I want a black screen with screen-blocking text to appear so that I can have random enemies and bullets spawn on me when I finish a level. I also love how a money magnet doesn't exist, how I can't replay levels for cash, and how 16 of the 21 of the weapons are complete shit without any way of selling them. This game has so much potential, but it just falls flat with the little things and makes the overall gaming experience very unenjoyable. 2/5.

A lot of the weapons aren't worth what they cost, and you have no idea which they are until you make the mistake and buy them. The worst part is that this buy can destroy your possibilities of winning the game. This leads to reading guides and/or comments on which things to actually choose to have a chance at this game. Additionally, since all the levels are only playable once. It's very important to be ready to die in a level if you're not prepared enough to get the amount of money that will suffice. Completing a level means nothing if you didn't get the money - and the score only means something if you're going for a highscore - but my advice is, if you really care about the score, find a way to win the game first, then you can worry about the score on the next playthrough. I agree with the top comments 3/5.

So I get the idea you were trying to have with this game, a hard bullet hell kind of game. The issue is, gamers play games to get a sense of achievement. There is almost no sense of achievement in this game aside from the Kongregate badges. Also, you make this a bullet hell, and we have to be on the pixel to pick up money. Combine this with the fact that we can't replay levels, well we could easily be looking at a player stuck at some level because his weapons are vastly unsuited for this combat, such as those jumping guys, if you dont have enough money and only have straight line fire weapons you're screwed. Also the "bonus" round/time after you complete a mission? That's more of "Now that you beat it survive for a few more seconds and look at the money go away." Should at least make the player invulnerable for those couple seconds. And the "ultimate" 500k weapon? Weak with a long cooldown.

(Hint for final boss) Go inside the boss and use lightning gun right at the beginning it takes his life down really fast and then just use any other gun to finish him off.I was trying everything & this really did the trick.

Go for 4 Homings (weapon 8) first. It'll be useful throughout the whole game. Then get Energy Homers (weapon 12) and switch between the missiles while one or the other is reloading. From there it's your choice between Lightning (weapon 16, great crowd control), BFG (weapon 17, fast reload good while other weapons reload), Big Laser (weapon 20, selective crowd control), and Duck Death (weapon 21, incredible single-target damage). Ignore my boss advice, Militant8invader's is better.

The gameplay was solid enough, but this game has everything I hate about shooters like this; you have to collect every coin with immaculate precision, the coins disappear before you can even get to them, and the level ends before you are done killing things OR collecting what few coins you can. The frustration outweighs the fun, sorry to say =\

Its...a good game with just some serious flaws. I agree with money/replay levels, but the gameplay could be tweaked a bit. Maybe upgrade the ship so it's a bit faster/take a few more hits? I thought it was a bit disappointing watching my ship 'splode after like five hits. And I also hate how in the double score mode, you could easily die while waiting to finish the level and have to do it all over again. Overall 3/5; this game has good potential for a sequel.

"Instant death to anything it touches." LIAR! It doesn't even do more than a 1/12 to the installations! What the heck are you talking about, instant death? Now I might be screwed because the recharge on it makes the weapon suck, and I wasted all that money on it! man....

For anyone struggling with the game,try using the arc spread.It is cheap,and it can get you through many,many levels.Try using it for as long as you can(i got the final weapon without buying any other ones).Some of the best weapons that last till the end boss are the BFG(you can shoot it from 1 corner of the map and follow it from the inside.it is a really good shield that is recharged by the time you reach the other corner diagonally),the lightning(if you hold it down until it runs out it is a screen clear,although it takes some time to recharge),the big laser(i see it as a slightly worse BFG),the vortex(when used with the BFG or the laser it can clear more than 1 screen at a time) and the duck death(good for damage and clears,but it gets much worse at the later stages).If you don't buy every new weapon and stick with the good cheap ones you can have all these weapons before the second boss.Good luck :)

Disappointed that there are no ship upgrades (that I can find). Upgrades such as coin magnet, speed, etc. would make this a better game

Whoever thought this game was a good idea, either was a majestic gamer or had too much free time. No replayable levels + weapons are the only upgrade and cost money = the possibility of being stuck on a level, like, for example, 17.

If you happen to buy weapons that do not fare well against the Mother Cube at level 36, you are screwed. For some reason, you cannot replay earlier levels. For some reason, the dev acknowledges this and acts as if this is fine. Besides the money collection and clunky movement, not being able to replay the levels means you might end up needing to replay those boring 36 levels just to have another shot at defeating that boss. If your weapons are still too poor, you'll have to replay the 36 levels again. You can't replay the levels as in any other arcade shooter EVER MADE, so you can get stuck, meaning you'll have to delete everything and retry. 2/5 for poor design

Why on earth do the coins dissappear, considering i have no magnets to pick them? Make them stay on screen or put an effing magnet to that effing ship.

Whenever you get hit while winning a level, it counts as a hit. So imagine this, I have one hit till death, I win the level, and then an enemy hits me. I find this unfair and frustrating.

This game has the potential to be fun, but two things ruin it:
1 - Picking up money is so difficult, that it seriously interferes with killing enemies.
2 - Levels aren't replayable, and you don't get any money for a level you didn't complete. This seriously limits how much money you can accumulate, and can leave you stuck if you spend money on a weapon that doesn't end up fitting your play style. You don't have enough money to get further in the game, and you don't have any way to accumulate more.

Because picking up the money items was such a pain, on some levels I didn't even bother. The small ones I just ignored since....pin-point precision is required to get them.....and they are sitting right where all the mobs are congregating/moving past.

Can't replay levels, weapons are your only updgrades, can die after winning?, can control with arrow keys but weapons only switch with 1, 2 and 3. And you aim with your mouse. In other words, if you type with an AZERTY keyboard you can't switch weapons. This game is so poorly optimized the highest it will get from me is a 2/5.

I've been dying a lot in level one because I'm so paranoid about the money issue people keep mentioning. If the developer is afraid people will just grind early levels, why not do two things: 1. Make the levels re-playable. BUT 2. You only earn what you get above your "Most Money Earned" amount. So let's say I play and get $800. If I replay and get $1,000, I get $200. If I replay and get $1,000 again, I get nothing.

You could make it so we can't replay any past levels, you could make it so we're not invincible after reaching the quota so you can still die if you're not careful enough, you could make it so there's no magnet to instantly get all money left on the field and from enemies I kill between the quota and beam-up or any kind of money magnet whatsoever, you could make it so we can't upgrade the ship's firepower or rate of fire or HP or defense or maybe HP regeneration...... BUT --- not all in the same game. At least put SOMETHING, any of those would have been fine.

Well. I find this is another game I have to rate at ! due to poor game play, and the fact kong wants me to play it. Poor choice for a badge game. Poor mechanics, upgrades, pixile hunting, reply, ... sigh.

I enjoy the game design, etc.... but I can't replay levels for cash? And then after finally surviving the harder level.... I get no cash since I was too busy running????? Ugh..... only doing this for the badge.........

the lack of money magnet in this type of game is really crippling, with waves of enemies of good variety and nice controls, it's a shame such basic function is not implemented

One of the worst games I've played on Kong. The fact that we can't keep the money we've gotten after getting killed just makes this game tedious, boring, and awful 0/5 if I could
