Two possibility : either rats are deadly radioactive (unlikely because of the period), or the Gentleman cares a lot about his hygiene, and die by touching such a dirty creature.
When I accidentally got an extra ball at level 11 on Endurance Mode but I was still able to finish the level, I was happy I survived. But then level 12 came and I discovered that extra balls are carried over to later levels. Needless to say, I died immediately. So why, oh why, do extra balls 1) count for your only life when losing them and 2) carry over to later levels?
@JSilvis: That's not true. After I had collected the five coins on the level and died at the boss, the coin challenge was still registered as completed. So you don't have to do those loops all over again when you have collected all five coins one time already.
Here is a very easy way to kill 3 Dreadmanes: just keep pressing hunt till you encounter one, then use your power followed by a speed attack. You should be the one dealing the most damage. Then just wait half an hour (for your power to become available again) and rinse and repeat. After that, just never play this game ever again.
Wow, something really weird just happened. While trying to get the 100% kill percentage on Mission 1, I ran out of time. But I somehow managed to get onto the airplane whilst my commando got destroyed. First the 'game over'-window popped up, but the 'victory'-window followed shortly afterwards. And I got the gold star. Freaking awesome.
