Great little game when you get the hang of it requires a great deal of strategy to play http://onslaught.playr.co.uk/

I made it to 411 rounds until I lost, though I lost the will to live after about 350 rounds. The combos are cool.

i made it to wave 735 with only nukes im sure i could have gone to 800+ but i was getting 1 frame every 10 seconds and my computer stopped responding :(

wave 550 and still it hasn't penetrated more than 1/4 of the track....

I tried for at least one of every combo. It was fun to look at, though it was hard to see what was actually going on after awhile.

EDIT: eh, got bored after wave 4000 and died intentionally

Cunjo: pics or it didn't happen :P liar

haha, suck it spidey.

It's easy. Just use blackholes... lots of them. If you put them on the corners and max out the rate on the tazers, they'll bunch stuff up and then destroy it...

only thing is, you don't get points or cash for blackhole kills.

yea i heard you can easily get to 1000 with a laser chain i only got to 600 with em :-\

I'm almost to 700 right now with Nukes and tazers... but the thing bogs down even my beast of a computer with all the objects.

Dunno how long I can go before firefox crashes.

As for the blackhole strategy, I could have kept going forever... few enough objects on the screen that the lag didn't get bad, and even with sending 70 waves through at a time none of them made it to the base.

Just died on wave 712, with 6571 kills....
Sep 27, 2007 Lord~spidey link
nice
Sep 27, 2007 Cunjo link
It seems I always end up with one of two outcomes...

1. Kill a LOT of them, make mad points, and then die at around wave 500-700.

2. Kill a lot, but not as many, and keep going forever without making any kills past 400-500 or so.

in the latter, I use blackhole clusters near the end to keep them from eventually reaching the base, but then my nukes and other combos can't keep up with them as well.

cunjo there is teqnique called laser chaning and people gt above 2000 easy with them

Yea, but that's with a cheating track...

try it on classic, and you still can't get to more than 550 or so before you get overwhelmed.

It's not like it has real replay value, either. Unless you're desperate.
Sep 29, 2007 look... no hands link
lazer chaining aint cheating, its simply a REALLY good combo
Sep 29, 2007 Phaserlight link
first try wave 156

i cant find a good strategy, keep dying before even 100 waves
which map are you guys using?
Sep 29, 2007 look... no hands link
epdafunk

the line map is the easiest to start on

build a rocket turret first right near the entrance

then build a cannon near your base cause one or two guys from the first wave will slip by.

then keep upgrading the rocket turret's damadge till its maxed out, make sure to bump its rate of fire a few times so it can kill all the badguys. also helps to get it up to the point of enabling holding pattern(when the rockets circle around)

then once your rocket turret is at max damadge build a lazer turret right up agenst the rocket turret so the rocket turret is still the first to fire and max its damadge

then start building more lazer turrets behind the other lazer turret in a chain.

youll figure it out now i think
