    I did similar. Bought rail gun and focused on building as many in a mission as I could. Dumped all unused colours at end of the snake

    In 7-2 how did you guys deal with those things that stick to your cores? Thinking flames will help

    Prestige 8, Survival 7 is still no more difficult than when it was back in Prestige 1.

    So no, Prestige doesn't affect difficulty.

    Generous, then, in terms of IAP setup, so you can at least grind for Prisms in peace.*deadpan*

    Good idea on upgrading armor first. I just destroyed Continent #3 and chose the 50% Faster upgrade, but now I'm feeling like I should have taken the 10% Chance to reflect damage instead. -.-

    I among those who forewent armor initially, did in fact choose Reflect Damage because I figured moving faster would make it harder to place cores accurately. Out of curiosity, this time I picked that and regret it :O)

    So, just discovered that rail gun is awesome (especially 2 rail guns + rapid fire).
    Previously using that repair drone since I thought it would add to survivability, but I guess offense is the best defense here since big offense means you can go to the next phase faster.

    Currently using a combination of purple rail gun, the green saucer cannon, and the red shotgun =3

    I'm not the greatest player, but I find it too hard to split the blues between buffed green and purple after a Prestige. I (reluctantly) usually relinquish green's Laser Cutter in favor of Proximity Repair (just 1st level—unless by mistake). Part of being a stinge- er thrifty player isn't just with real money, so I almost never add anything in space. Relying on a secondary color makes placement critical, and I really shot myself in the foot choosing Supercharger where it moves faster between districts .__. Sticking with it out of curiosity, though :O) see how things all shake out from it, different picks from my 1st runthrough. (answer: not so well!)

    Looking for opinions on evolution 6- I like the idea of extra core shielding (all cores leveled up to 3) but then I also like the free powerup one, if that truly means each stage. What did y'all use?

    Any idea how to reset my progress? I'd like to start the entire game over from scratch.

    I was planning on just deleting the app...because I never signed in with Halfbrick, I'm pretty sure it'll kill all my progress unless for some reason iCloud restores it, in which case I'll then turn off its Documents & Data in Settings, if it has that option, and retry.

    If HB won't let you once you sign in with them, then we see why they replaced Game Center: to take control away from us over how our history with the game affects our ability to enjoy it. Booo!

    Nevermind I figured it out, you do need to sign out from the Halfbrick account. I already checked in iCloud, there is no data or anything saved to your phone or in iCloud.

    I updated to iOS7 just for this
    Glad I did
    I've never been let down by a Halfbrick game
    Thus one may be their best one yet

    The only negative is that it has a TINY BIT of a freemium feel
    I don't think I'll have to spend more money, after purchasing the game...
    But the urge is definitely there

    Invoke the settings menu from the arrow in the top-right corner, turn off voice (the "quote cloud" icon), and when you turn it back on, the anchor has a whole bunch of hilarious throw-away lines: "What's that? We're _live_?!", "How's my complexion?", close to a dozen! Can't miss!!!!! X-D I hope the actor enjoyed performing them :) ...Good ol' Halfbrick!

    Colossatron's load-out to blast the credits list to bits is I _think_ based on your last attack's bar graph for which units you used (could be wrong about that).

    I love creative flourishes like these!

    Free Powerup is good if you're going to reroll the start of each stage and getting a Megabomb. But I almost always end up with a Megabomb in Survival and the only time Megabombs really, really matter in stages is if you end up with a base stage.

    The bigger part explosion is pretty useless. It doesn't really do that much damage as you'd expect. I even tried sticking a bunch of level 1 parts to the front of the snake to see if they actually helped. Useless.

    I just picked Microshields because it gave me extra time to attach a core right away. Especially in the later parts of stages/survival when L1 cores get almost instantly blown up, Microshields gives you more time to combine them into an L2.

    Is there any reason iOS 7 ia required? What makes iOS 7 that special? What exclusive iOS 7 feature is used in this game that makes it impossible to support other iOS?
