You can't hit the sub or EMP. The reason upgrading your cannons helps is because you'll be able to take out enemy turrets quicker, so you won't need to stay in one place as long. With fully upgraded cannons you only need to shoot at a turret for a couple of seconds at most to destroy it. Of course I can't say for sure, but I suspect it will just click if you keep trying level 5. I often find it helps to take a break if something is getting frustrating. Initially doing level 5 without getting hit by the EMP seemed impossible to me too. I ignored level 5 for a couple of weeks, and when I went back to it the other day I was able to do it After watching that video, today I was able to make it through without getting hit a couple of times in a row, and even rescue some people. One trick I picked up from the video is the one where you do a tight circle when the EMP is about to hit you. It takes the EMP a while to circle back, which often gives me enough time to take out a tower. Also having your cannons upgraded really helps, since you can quickly take out all the towers so you don't need to be dodging so many projectiles and lasers at the same time. So maybe come back to level 5 once your cannons are fully upgraded.
Did you complete the missions every time you picked up a card? You can pick up a card, but you won't keep it unless you survive and complete the mission. It hasn't happened to me yet, but people have received the same card multiple times in this forum. I assume the effect add up, as it's the only explanation that makes sense.
Yeah, I completed the mission - I was spamming level 1 and 2 just to get stars to upgrade weapons. I was wondering what happened to the card I picked up, but every time, it was just the same card as was in my inventory. Sort of makes sense, as picking up the discount could lower prices 40 -50% or even more - versus getting more planes in the hanger really doesn't change a lot in terms of grinding, or gameplay. I suspect the additive cards will be things like hanger, or perhaps starting with laser, bombs, or shields (instead of having to pay a small amount for them). I doubt price discounts, speed, and other things that really affect how the game is played will be additive - I will follow the board and see.. Thanks for advice above on level 5 - I just beat it (after getting hit by EMP). I think I need to level up my main cannon a bunch - it takes me a bunch of hits to take out a turret at this point, so I have no ability to move as quickly as I need to.
yup it'll make sense for them to put some sort of a cap on the effects... like the plane speed, for example. So far I've only gotten three cards, the hanger (two of them), the plane speed -5% and upgrade installation time -5%. I got two different cards from the same stage and difficulty too, so I don't know if the cards are stage specific or just random. Either way I love this cards thing. It totally appeals to my collect em all, improve your ship, grind more, personality. And its making grinding earlier levels to get all the medals more erm... rewarding/interesting too.
Totally agree. I bought all the IAP recently and consider it a great purchase. I am really getting a lot of airtime on this game.
I'm having problems restoring purchases on a different device and a bit on syncing with iCloud. I played on iPhone then installed on the iPad. Issues: A. Sync seems fine (upgrades, levels) but not the stars, it seems they are independent of each device, same with planes in hangar. B. When restoring IAPs (I only bought x2 stars), I'm getting the succes message (the actual success word has a meaning 's') after entering my credentials, but the 2x star is still not purchased. I thought this might be a display issue so I started a game and finished it, and I didn't get the 2x stars bonus. Has anyone experienced this? Or found a workaround for it, thanks.
Btw here is my Game Center name : 27 Pastore Please add me so that I can play tournament levels too !
After enabling icloud save I lost all cards I found yeasterday. Also I'd like to ask to enable further upgrades to weapon and missiles. New levels are welcome too.
Great game - the controls, graphics and difficulty are all pitched just right. I have quite sensitive eyes so actually appreciate the timers making me not over-play! I'd advise new players to ignore the laser, shield and mega bomb, concentrate instead on getting wing cannons, the magnet and missile then upgrading the main cannon. Gamecenter name is Dzhulian
I can confirm that the cards DO stack (or some do, anyway). I have two copies of "hanger capacity +1", and my hanger has 12 ships now.
I have 4 cards now - Plane speed -5%, Upgrade time - 5%, shop prices -10%, and hanger +1. My hanger increased to +2, but I have got cards many times (and yes I completed the level), that nothing new showed up, so I am fairly confident that many of the cards won't stack. When I did get the second Hangar +1 card, it DID show up, and my hanger increased to now 22. Anyways, the cards are all fun anyways, the main element is really what matters, the cards just adds some "gotta catch 'em all" to the game for us completionists... To the person that asked where they show up - this has been answered, but it is random and they are in boxes. You can play the same level over and over and sometimes you will get a card, and sometimes you won't. And, you can get different cards playing the same level - totally random - although I suspect that some of the cards (super stupendous ones) will only be available in higher levels to keep people pushing on to the harder levels - which makes sense to me.
You guys are AMAZING! Thanks Idreams guys for this great 10th year reboot! the cards is a nice lil addiction to add some replay value to the game (and also add those cool art works!) def looking forward to the next updates and when the level upgrade for weapons will be unlocked! (right now just health was unlocked until lever 4) ps. today I managed to complete the Level 5 (the one with EMP) on Insane level and destroying every single enemy (I have to say that before this latest updates the EMP behavior was MUCH more tricky and hard to avoid!)
Well, PeterID did post a picture of a different looking (or just colour) plane, so it might be a new skin.
Ok here is my cards summary that I unlocked, I hope this will help some of you Cards 1,2,3: Hangar Capacity +1 Cards 4,5,6: Plan Production Time -5% Cards 7,8,9: Upgrade Installation Time -5% Cards 10,11: Initial Fire Rate +1 Card 12: (Still not unlocked, but I am sure it is like cards 10&11) Cards from 13 to 16: (Still not unlocked) Card 17: Rescue Rope Length +5% Card 18: Upgrade Prices -10% Card 19: (Still not unlocked) Card 20: Energy Shield to begin with Card 21: (Still not unlocked) Card 22: (Still not unlocked) Card 23: Plan's Speed +5% Card 24: (Still not unlocked)
I thought so but it still says "Coming in the next update, Thank you for your patience" for me. I tried force existing the game and relaunching but it's still the same :-( Should I delete and reinstall the game? Any pointers would be appreciated!!!
