  1. I kind of like the flamethrower, not great for scores, but makes it more of a challenge.

    Crossbow / rocket is an awesome combo when your all maxed out. This new prestige update is great! Already on my third time around (red icon). I can't wait for more content, the wave mode is pretty sweet as well.

    I will continue to make more purchases to support you guys for upcoming updates. Already got the 2x experience and 2x coin.

    There's only 20-30 players at a time online it seem, I'm surprised. It's defiantly a quality dual stick shooter. Best I've played on the App Store :)

    I was really hesitant about getting this but spent even more time with it now and I really love it. Having trouble deciding which weapons to upgrade though! So far I'm doing smg and grenade launcher.

    Also I haven't tried yet as I'm poor and it's too risky but if I reset weapon skills do I get all my gold and chips back to spend again or just the chips?

    My one thing I'd probably request is new tile sets and enemy types with it like on WHQ I'd pay an IAP for new sets.

    I agree with ste86uk, we need more tilesets.
    Also i don't get why there are cars, it doesn't really fit there, at least for me.
    Perhaps if they could be blown up, especially when enemy would be near.
    And about tileset. Maybe some kind of spiral staircase going either up or down.
    Or perhaps telepods or elevators, to take you to higher places, or sewers tileset with mutated crap.

    I've heard a lot of good things about the crossbow. It does seem fairly powerful, but REALLY slow. I haven't hit my first prestige mode yet though so maybe that changes things up.

    When you reset weapon upgrades I don't think you get your gold back, but I guess you could say you get your chips back in that it's free to re-apply those upgrade chips in any other configuration on that weapon. I'm not sure if the chips you get back can be used on other weapon upgrades. However you can essentially reapply weapon upgrade chips for free as much as you want till you find the upgrades that work best for you.

    Sounds good I might try others once I get more cash at the minute I'm just using the basic smg and grenade launcher I have explosive rounds for the smg and cluster for the grenade launcher. I'll try out other weapons as I can afford them but I'm wondering about the rocket launcher and heavy smg is it? Are they worth buying now to use over the first two?

    Also I've tried multiplayer a few times seems like you get much more experience there? Which is a shame as I hardly have good enough internet to do it.

    So can anyone tell me what the difference is between smg and heavy mg and grenade launcher and rocket if they all have the same skills?

    The game devs need to clean the leaderboards a bit...

    Since I can't get an answer to my question, I am going to assume that the Meltdown explosion comes in the form of the Nuke bombs. If this is true then I am somewhat disappointed, since the Nukes have been available in the game since the beginning. Was definitely hoping for something different.

    The flamethrower is fantastic. It looks awesome, has a good feel and is excellent when you up the Long Barrel to three stars. I also am partial to the grenade launcher. Keep the rapid fire down to zero stars, the long barrel at two stars, shrapnel at three stars, shockwave at one star and blast radius at three stars. No need for multiple grenades, the one powered up does the job.

    I have mentioned all of these ideas myself previously: the cars are retarded, plain and simple, with no offense intended when I say that, but they don't belong in this particular setting. Vehicles would be fine, but vehicles that are more suited to a space station.

    The boards could absolutely use changes in elevation, anything to mix them up and make them more unique. I'd like to see narrow bridges connecting the different platforms, where the enemies would follow you as you crossed. Teleportation would make for an excellent skill and could even serve as the final skill of the game, after Neo.

    The frame rate is another issue that should be added to the To Do list. It is highly inconsistent, with it getting super sluggish and then running smooth, back and forth. iPad4, iOS7, no other apps running.

    The Wave Attack has blown this game wide open. It is exactly what it needed. Can't stress that enough.

    I'm just about to get Prestige. Curious to see how that works.

    The Heavy MG is just that: a better version of the SMG. Go with the grenade launcher. I think it has a better feel than the rocket launcher.

    Prestige.

    Erasing my progress was a hard decision.

    I tried the heavy mg it seemed worse than the smg to me. Flamethrower sucked too, kind of like the magnum with grenade launcher so I might save for the crossbow now.

    Ouch that sounds painful with prestige mode I wondered what it did but that's basically starting all over again but able to be slightly better?

    They need level 9 to unlock not 10? Unless it changes once you get prestige mode as you can upgrade the weapons to 10 at that point.

    Only thing I can think of from your vague complaint is maybe you upgraded prestige and hadn't unlocked all the weapons first which the game wasn't expecting?

    The Heavy MG and SMG are basically the same difference. If you dislike the one it would be hard to like the other.

    Try the flame thrower with the long barrel at three stars. Don't worry about making the flames any wider. You have to customize these weapons to make them suit your play style the best.

    Erasing the progress with Prestige is... questionable. Theoretically though, if the prestige was extended all the way up to level 18, this could solve the problem of excess cash and tokens. It would be crazy to be able to completely max out each weapon. However, it would take the enemies becoming equally as strong as the weapon output.

    Well i didn't had all weapons unlocked, because it was not possible, since it bugged. So i though i will try prestige mode, it will reset everything, got to a point that it showed me that i can buy spreadgun i think for 1600 bucks, at that time i didn't had enough money so i did couple of missions and then i wanted to buy spreadgun and again, you need to have level 10 shotgun. Since it saves data to cloud all the time, there must be some problem with data saving.

    Question to peeps with prestige lvl 2/3 do I have to unlock all weapons to lvl10 in prestige lvl1 or can I skip some and then still be able to unlock their lvl's 11/12 on prestige lvl 2/3. For example if I skip upgrading shotgun on prestige lvl1 will I be able to buy and upgrade spreadgun all the way to lvl12 on prestige lvl3 ?

    Sounds like it's meant to be that way to me, I'm only level 34 so I don't know obviously but I'd imagine since you can get guns up to level 10 in that prestige mode you need to do that to fully upgrade the gun before it.

    It looks like PRESTIGE level 3 and WEAPON level 12 are the max for now #.
    I burned through all my extra coins and chips really fast!
    Gonna build up again for the next update.
