Hmm, just finished normal. That was so easy it got quite tedious towards the end. I was destroying the ships so quickly and the waves were so far apart that I was left sitting there waiting for them to come. I was just using up the remaining slots for the hell of it.

I just completed easy mode for the first time. Like other tower defence games, it turns out focusing on upgrading one tower at a time is much better than building heaps of low grade towers. I beat it with just three ion cannons and some other weapons added near the end.

bought a planet shield, but couldn't access the button to deploy it! won anyway, hard, with $21,000+ billion to spare.

Awesome. Simpley awesome. Would love to see an updated version of this game with more features. Really nice gameplay here.

I love these kinds of games. They're simple, fun and mind numbing. I haven't gotten the hang of it yet but I'm having fun trying. I agree that being able to see the enemy's health (perhaps with an upgrade?) would be nice.

Wow, this is awesome fun and has some nice realistic style graphics as well. Reminds me of Independence Day. 5 out of 5, and bring on the badges! Plus a card as well preferably.

Cool game, but it went from fun to impossibly hard rather fast. (in a matter of 2 waves...)
Cant wait to see how it improves

this is so lame the game ended my population dropped to 0 Million. i was doing good and my structures were surviving! the game shouldn't end if the structures are still up! i think that is a huge flaw if my bunkers and repair labs can keep the structures alive why not the people? my entire front row was level 2 ion cannons and i had many economic centers one was upgraded.

Decent game, but kind of easy when you understand what's important. Do love the tower eating monster at the end of Apocalypse.

Not Difficult. Start with 3 Ion cannons in the top center squares. Below the middle one, place one bunker. Upgrade 1 ion cannon, then research economics and build a economic center. This is the beginning of how I beat it on hard.

Okay, I just beat it on Apocalypse. Takes a while. It took me 4 tries before I figured out the strategy (different that what works on the other 3 difficulties). The only disappointing part is that once you get enough upgraded weapons, it's no longer very hard. BUT, it is hard to get to that point. Let me just say that bunkers are crucial in apocalypse...

Thought for improvement: Perhaps some additional research techs related to an endgame. Something like Faster-Than-Light drives and shipyards so that you can mount a counter-offensive. Not against the incomming ships, but to sneak an attack on whatever is sending them.

Also, there's a game quite similar to this called Massive Space TD. I'm not sure which was made first, so I'm not asserting that "One stole frum teh other, waaaah".

I beat it first go without coming anywhere near losing. Could have something to do with the fact that I'm obsessed with the TD genre... Anyway, I build about 5 Ion Cannons, along with 3 Bunkers covering the areas that got hit the most. Along with one Economic Centre, one Repair Base (backing up the cannons which were hit most frequently) and one Nuke Silo and extra cannons over time.

its easy on easy...
jst build 2 ion cannons
then build bunkers to defend your squares
then build ion cannons along the frontline)
from there upgrade your Ion cannons
I beat it on second try (built bunkers too late 1st time

I have yet to figure out a winning strategy. It's a bit tricky! What's the best way to keep up your population? Ions to prevent the ships from shooting, or bunkers to prevent damage when the shots hit? You obviously want to build economics as early as possible, but the enemy can destroy them if you haven't got enough defense yet! So tricky.

TurtleMonkey:
Bunkers reduce the rate that you lose your Population. A higher protects the pop. and so lets your pop. grow faster.

i like it, it was fun and had a good concept, also the easy level is possible to beat even for newbs at these types of games
