Okay, okay, I understand that I was killed. Now can you stop laughing in my face and just make the retry button appear?

General: We will give you our most advanced weapon, a shield that bounces back all weapons! Soldier: Can *I* have a weapon? General: No, you will use their own weapons against them! Soldier: But I could kill them a lot faster if I had a weapon... General: We don't have enough money for that. Which reminds me, scavenge the dead tanks and sell them for scrap. We need money to buy upgrades. And the extra money... Soldier: I get to keep? General: No, I will invest it for a very nice return! I got a hot stock tip!

spent the last two hours trying for the hard badge. restarted after figuring out that i should've kept money for investing. It took me 20 minutes to go from level 1-40 on the second run, then the last hour to go from 41-49. I've attempted level 50 for 45 minutes now. It was a cool and fun game, but the ramping up on the difficulty is so absurd that I'm giving the game 2 stars.

For the Hard badge, I went with Ainlay's strategy. Kept investing in the energy infuser until level 10. Defeating the lvl 10 boss gave 5 bonus points. Bought the anti matter shield and after winning one more point, the heatseeker missiles. Each additional bonus point went into Investment until it was at 20% interest. Kept the spending to a minimum and by level 40 I had 1,350,000. Maxed out what I could and kept buying hp / shield when cash was above 1 million. I didn't buy the sticky shield. Found it was a distraction and in the latter levels, you simply don't have time to aim and shoot.

The thing that make this game more frustrating then fun at the later stages is that if you don't have the anti-matter shield and the tanks decide to volley one after each-other from different angles you ARE going to take damage and usually a lot of it. There is pretty much nothing you can do, except hope they aren't going to combo you into the ground.

phew..finally got there...some useful information - 1. the game gets hard beyond level 40 2. there is no more dodge ball after level 40 - there are too many enemies and too many bullets and we need to rely on bouncing the bullets onto the enemies 3. don't invest bonus points on interest, use it on anti matter shield, heat seekers, inferno, emp and reducing damage from everything other than shells, in that order 4. shield bounce + heat seekers is a nice combo 5. make sure to perform full upgrades on energy infuser, then use earnings to get at least 120 energy, 250 base health 6. take all your luck into level 50!

"we have all of our biggest tanks with spikes and cannons that are going to stay as far away from the sheild as possible and shoot at the sheild with slow projectiles."

The loot badge doesn't seem to be working... 10,000+ score, captain difficulty, died, went to main menu, no badge pop. Everything connected and such. Any tips how to get it to pop?

"if we air strike the base they won't be able to deflect it"

General advice:
1. Buy Sticky Shield as early as possible. It takes a lot of guesswork out of the process.
2. Even with several levels of Shield Bounce, rockets are painfully slow. Lead rockets as far as you can.
3. Fireballs hurt most, but are slower than plasma.
4. When "boss" tanks show up, kill everything else first.
5. Buy Energy Infuser before you buy Shield Bounce. The tanks gain HP, but their shots never change speed.

why do the keyboard shortcuts have to be so far apart? i mean, its perfectly reasonabl to have 3 keys right next to each other

really boring. Has potential to be a fun game. I would change the animation style, add auto-turrets, add more, upgradable shield types, and allow for some sort of checkpoints

So, i can't reset bonus points, i can't replay lvls, now, since i didn't spend my points perfectly i have to play the 50 lvls again? F*** THAT!.

A easy way to aim the shield is to put your mouse on the tank as it shoots, this hits the tank everytime (assuming it dosn't stop to turn). Only the basic tank that shoots rockets is on and off about this. And one more thing, dont go over 20% interest and only buy what you need or you might end up with 300 million like I did.

Some tips for the hard badge.
1. Your main cash should be spent on the Energy Infuser upgrade, then the shields and base upgrade.
2. Every 10 levels there is a boss. You must kill it for 3 extra bonus points. If not the game gets hard very quickly.
3. Spend your bonus points on the Heatseeker, Antimatter shield, Explorer, Inferno and then the 4 x damage reducers.
Hope this helps.

What the hell you talkin about...? It's about 3 seconds game over screen delay, its not as if you game players have no time to waste...?

There should be some kind of cash reward for achieving killstreaks (deflecting a shell back at a tank several times without missing) maybe a multiplier would make sense and however many tanks you destroy in that chain you gain X1 and so on adding to your money.

Overall a good concept, but I have to agree with the earlier post about the fact that the Antimatter Shield and the Sticky Shield both use the mouse button. Too often I am trying to catch and fire things back at the tanks, and after buying the Antimatter Shield, it destroys most of the missles I am trying to catch. Take the mouse button and use it for the Sticky Shield, and only use the space bar for the Antimatter Shield.

The biggest problem in this game is the boss every 10 levels. Its HP is so high that it is illogical to not save up for Energy Infuser upgrades. To all players out there, if you kill the boss, you get 3 points in Bonus Upgrades, so it is best to always look out for the Energy Infuser Upgrade!

"Sir we have developed this amazing blue shield that is impenetrable to all types of enemy artillery. Should we surround the base with it immediately?"
"No, don't be absurd. Just generate a small slab of it so we can rotate it around to defend ourself."
"What if we are attacked from multiple angles sir?"
"We will simply use our incredibly weak rechargeable red shield to defend then... "
"hmmmm what ever you say sir."
