I take it back. After much frustration and persistence (read: stubbornness) (and an increase in repair kit drops near the end) I figured out how to beat the last level. It is possible, but you have to know the pattern of the planes very well so that you can get them before they get you. It helps to have a small plane to navigate through the torrent of bullets (I used the Fort with meteors left and right, with plasma ball centre). Though, I still can't even get past 1 star rating on normal :P But I've finally got the badge now, so I'm going to give my eyes a break...

I wish the interface for plane buying was a separate menu where we could just mouse over each plane rather than having to click linearly back and forth through 45 planes. I only ended up buying like four planes out of those, too.

Endgame enemies have way too much health. I have three L25 Plasma Bombs equipped and I still can't kill entire enemy groups without either wasting bombs or ramming them. Part of the problem is the gun spread; an option to alter the firing angles (or just defaulting them to firing straight ahead) would be a big help.

That moment when you realize you're not strong enough to defeat the last levels with all the stars...and you've run out of things to upgrade. =(

Don't waste your money on the meteor gatling gun, just get the plasma bomb. The meteor gun is awful and misses everything
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i dont get it, i bought the meteor gun and upgraded it all the way and it has a higher DPS than the plasma bomb, yet it takes longer to kill enemies with it.

i would like more weapon upgrades... i maxed the best weapon by like lvl 15... would also love to see an easier way to pick ships... like maybe a separate inventory to choose between the ships we own rather than having to scroll through all the choices

dunno if matakukos fixed difficulty, but hard badge is too medium now, earned it without much fuss... also, great dynamic game once again

Shall I equip my ship with lasers? Plasma cannons? High powered Gatling guns? Lawl, naw...shoot some pigs at the problem. PETA is very upset with you...but I am very happy.

--We made a lot of fixes in the shop aqnd game itself so have fun!!--
ok how about a final fix? on "aqnd" it's written "and" :) xD :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Just figured I should mention that I think the dev may have forgotten to fix the "triumph" ship. It costs around 5k even though the other ships around it are more like 30-40k, and there appears to be no reason for such.

this game has a major glitch the slide efrfect between options or clicking the fade keeps repeating ive refreshed over and over but it does it either on main menu or control set up :(
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
fun game but i kind of didn't like the big jump in difficulty from lvl 19 to lvl 20. lvl 19 fully upgraded meteor gatling helps out a lot but when you get to lvl 20 it seems like you are hitting the ships with ping pong balls and are doing nothing.

There are lots of useless planes and weapons, so i have put together a little progression guide of most cost efficient and powerful ones:
Most cost-efficient planes:
Sentinel (you start with this one) -> Nomad (cheapest 2 slot plane) -> seagull -> commando (cheapest 3 slot plane) -> Northrop -> Triplane (best plane)
Best weapons progression:
Machinegun (you start with this one) -> fire gun (good basic damage and does additional damage over time) -> rocket spreader (very good dps), i don't recommend laser as bosses seem to be immune to it -> dark energy gun ->
plasma bomb
That's just my recommendation, You can skip some weapons and planes if you fancy a little bit of grinding (it's rather easy to do Sentinel -> Commando -> Northrop)
I always used addons Money printer and Damage Amplifier, rest is rather useless, if you have everything upgraded you can switch money printer with something else.

Ibuuyk said it all. The thing that upsets me the most is the DPS. I can't effectively compare my weapons if the stats are lying the me. Please fix the countless bugs.

when you upgrade an expensive weapon, sometimes is number (damage, speed, accuracy) gets so big that you can't see it anymore. developer should fix that.

It was a really enjoyable game, unfortunately it was spoiled at the end when it became insanely difficult to actually destroy all the enemies to get stars, not to mention the fact by the time I reach the 3rd level before last I had the best ship and best weapons, so even though there was much more gameplay with the frantic and hard levels that I missed, I didn't feel motivated to actually go back and do them, I had nothing else to gain and it was no longer a sense of progression.
I think this game could be 4 or 5 star if there was another level of each weapon and ship, maybe a story or something along those lines, a little better tutorial and an achievement (Impossible level) for getting all the stars in game.
Otherwise, great job :)

DPS is complete bullshit. lvl 14 plasma bomb does "440" dps and lvl 21 pig gun does "2545" dps. Yet when I do lvl 19 with these and compare, I can get SIGNIFICANTLY farther with the "far weaker" plasma bomb. This is a great game, but I find this flaw rather annoying.

For anyone trying to get all the stars: Getting 3* on either Frenetic or Hard will award all the stars for Normal as well. Note that 3* on Hard does *not* award the stars for Frenetic.

hurts my ears when you have a ship with a decent magnet and pick everything up at once, you should have it play the pickup sound only once every frame or two instead of having a dozen instances of the sound effect playing at once

Some real bad design decisions hold this game from being pretty excellent. The hitbox is too large and unpredictable, enemy shots do too much damage while collisions don't do enough. Otherwise, this is a well presented simple game for an afternoon.

An oversized hitbox AND my bullets overlap and hide enemy bullets? Such detriments shouldn't exist in the third installment of a series.

I upgraded every weapon to the max, hoping there would be a secret weapon or higher levels unlocked for a lot of coin to upgrade. But no.
SO instead, I *ISSUE A CHALLENGE TO THE DEVELOPER*
You said we can get 3-stars on all of it?
I'm calling you out on your bullshit! RECORD YOURSELF GETTING 3 STARS ON HARD ON THE LAST LEVELS AND POST IT!
Put your money where your mouth is . We, the gamers, DARE YOU!
+ this up so the dev can see the challenge!

Pretty unbalanced upgrades vs money but quite enjoyable at parts. 3/5
Sensei's advice? save up for the snow upgrade, then cheapest 3 slot aircraft, upgrade to full, save up for the final weapon. step 4) dem profits though

The game is pretty fun...right up until the last two levels. The "upgraded" dark-matter ships are WAY too powerful for their own good - even with the ultimate ship, their shots kill you in three or four hits, their collisions kill you in five or six, and the maxed-out ultimate weapons take forever to kill them! Nerf please?

For those having trouble getting 3 stars on the last levels, this is how I did it without much trouble. Of course use the Triplane - Upgrade Plasma Bomb to full level 25 - Equip 2 Damage Amplifier. The trick is to not be afraid and fire from the bottom of the screen, you need to be as close as you can to enemies so that all 3 streams hit them and kill them before they can fire off too many shots and giving you the area to move around and avoid.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
DPS values are still way off. A maxed out plasma gun is way way better than a maxed out meteor cannon. Also, I'd like to see a vid of someone three-starring the last level on hard to prove it can be done. I'm still unconvinced.

This weapon purchase order served me well through Hard badge: Plasma Gun, Sonic Gun, Gatlin Gun OR Plasma Spreader, Meteor Gatling, Plasma Bomb. In general, don't spend too much on upgrades, rather go for the next weapon. And Magnet + Money Printer is a must for maximizing your earnings.

The later levels are bad. Gigantic bullets with literally no gaps to avoid them . You basically hope for an extra bomb or 2 to help.
