The waves system on this game was pretty good a very fun and unique game, So I like the this game it seems to go on with a nice style and ever just like the portal it was a fun find you can still find some positive games like this one, Hard to fix the ship between waves especially once in higher waves but for the mostpart this was a nice game, You have a good and productive on this game aswell as a functional piece of game so nice job, fun game intense waves fun indeed

oh shit is this a PREQUEL to don't escape 3?!?

Tips to finish hardcore:
Don't upgrade the base weapon much, the minigun and shotgun are all you'll need, don't buy the rocket launcher either until the end for the upgrade medal.
Don't bother repairing the turrets, it takes too much time and they die within seconds.
Max out the refinery as soon as possible, then get the minigun to lvl 4, engine, plating and nanites to 2-3, torch to 3, get the 1st ship part, max minigun and start sentries dispenser.
Max it out too, only then you should buy and place turrets, only north of the ship, enemies never attack from south. Replace destroyed ones every wave. Then max engine, plating and nanites, get the shotgun and max it out too.
After wave 20 you will definitely want the shotgun maxed for quickly clearing groups and killing tanks. Until then the minigun should be enough.
Ignore the small fast bugs, your turrets will handle them, focus on repairing instead.

As far as I've seen the waves are probably endless, with constantly increasing numbers of enemies. Try to finish before wave 40, after that things start getting messy and you'll barely have time to fix the ship between waves. Heal yourself in the upgrade screen to almost full after each wave and maybe even in between if necessary.

Try to draw away the enemies attention from the ship and turrets, walk backwards in steps to easily kill tanks without them hitting you. Circle ranged enemies while shooting them to avoid getting hit.

It's all easier than it sounds, there's room for variation.

scriptwelder never misses with these gems! an hour well spent finishing this one. that end cut scene got me excited too lol

You can download the ng flash player here:

The game and medals work for me. Most other flash games work fine aswell.
Maybe you have to try a different browser. I would recommend firefox.
If you already have the player try reinstalling it.
