Is there a speed run that usually spawns 2-5 birds? I'm thinking it'd be faster to just farm one of those instead of doing a whole challenge for 0-7 birds.
Ease off on the caps. The first level in challenge takes ~62 seconds for the wave to go from beginning to end, and it's fairly simple terrain. That's where I got that milestone.
They don't often put multiple hard badges or any impossible badges on games that are easily followed via guides and videos, as this one would very much be so.
Reunion is to the east of Madagascar. You start to learn the odd islands pretty fast, because islands are the easiest places to get strikes and near strikes.
For those of you complaining that it requires too much prior knowledge to be enjoyable, I think everyone has rough spots in geography. To excel at the game, you just have to play it and learn where things are. I think that's kind of the point.
Wait a minute... a few pages back Eyedol said that it takes him ~12000 seconds to level, and he's >level 400. At level 104 it's taking almost 15000 seconds... does the amount per level go down after some time?
http://www.seeqpod.com It's kind of like playlist.com or whatever, but I like it a lot. It's a great utility for this game to find the URL's for mp3's that are already hosted online.
The challenges were pretty good, if not pretty easy. Shut down the coal plant asap and use geothermal energy if you can, nuclear energy if you can't. You don't need any turrets besides the basic gun ones. Buy a factory and research lab during the first day if you can. Upgrade your power plants as you can.
But the game isn't hard at all. All you have to do is apply a very simple logic and you can solve any puzzle in a reasonable amount of time. But there's no "i know how to solve everything, just give me the badge" button unfortunately.
A&F: Read instructions. You can use the left and right arrow keys to navigate levels you've already beaten, even if you have navigated away and back to the page.
