Hard badge is ridiculously easy if you don't kill the monkey boss right away. How you may ask? ... 3 groupies, good takeoff ... double-flip-while handstanding directly into glider. Then DON'T release the up button!! you'll have 4x bonus and if the monkey boss is still around you can fly for a LOOOONG time for massive bonus. can be done without the monkey too, but then you cap out just under 100k points in run.
Very nice effort ... enjoyable controls and dynamics. as has been said, a little ambient music and some more levels/scenarios and you've got a winner on your hands.
I had to only give a 4/5 because the balance was just WAY too easy. I played on super-normal, and aside from the very last fight (buggy - lost all my food and kept getting damage from no sources) the game was massively easy.
Fun and cool with a wicked theme song though!
AI for team players is shit ... just love watching my teammates run the other direction when the ball is in front of them. I'd change guys and control them manually if the selector for switching guys wasn't as retarded as the AI.
3 days is doable, but requires some luck. Here's how I did it:
1st day - buy max height and then width and band. Make at least $1000 or restart.
2nd day - buy the top radar and put the rest into fuel. HAve another good day - aim for pink landers and gold as much as you can.
3rd day - buy top fuel sucker as much fuel as you can, and full emergency rockets if you can (emergency rockets are less important).
Then just maneuver your way up from platform to platform as best you can ... use emergency rockets if you start dropping too fast and don't have a platform to hit. Should be pretty easy.
