Hopefully these videos and descriptions will help. I recommend having sound turned on - as I narrate the strategy.

Box Kill 20

Bronze Trophy

Kreios Area 1, Ranked: Kill 20 units that have been boxed in and trapped with weapons

This one is really simple. First campaign mission (Kreios, level 1). I created a snaking route at the bottom, with a blocked shortcut. Wait for enemies to enter the long trail, open the shortcut, then block their trail front and back. You can tell they're blocked in when they stop walking along a fixed path, and more laze around waiting to die. Kill 20 total, not 20 in one group.

Bronze Trophy

Kreios Area 3, Ranked: Kill 50 units that have been boxed in with weapons

 

Do the same as in Box Kill 20, but use this, or a similar pattern. It's dead simple.

Create self-sustaining base, in supplied pattern,

Block off short route, forcing enemies into long route,

Wait until they're at least halfway though, open the shortcut, and quickly block the ends of the long run. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Helios Area 22, Ranked: Kill 200 units that have been boxed in with weapons

 

As I explain in the video, theres a huge area to block off. The carriers make your job easier by conveniently crashing in the boxed area, where you get to go to town on the little dudes. Yay.

Silver Trophy

Hathor Area 12, Ranked: Produce a compressed flow of tanks by collapsing the trail multiple times

 

Thanks to Eternal Spoon for the tip - works like a charm! Build a strong defensive base, you know, survive. My video starts several minutes in, because if you see what I have built, you can replicate it. Ready the armoury! We need LOTS of tanks!

1. Start a solid flow of tanks outbound,

2. Once they're nearing the enemy area, force them to do a 180 by blocking the path they chose.

3. Once there are plenty stacked up for turning around, reopen the path, and reverse it again!

4. Keep doing this, only takes a few (4 or 5) reversals (triple decker) :)

Comet Crash STRATEGY guide (not for trophies, but for level awesome-ing)

 

Special thanks to LoVeRiCe for the EXCELLENT tips and strats:

 

Level 26 (Helios)

slightly edited for space

FORGET THE DRONES altogether, instead, try going SwitchBalls and Tanks. You would only need approximately a dozen Switchballs and a very good amount of tanks, I'd say about 4 times the amount of damage needed to destroy their base. USE THE MASS LASER hint. You'll need it for enemy CARREIRS and DRONES.

 

Make sure when you send ALL your 12-20 or so Switchballs, sell the Special Ops and Basic Ops right away and then immediately send ALL your TANKS. Used the funds you gained from selling the Ops and upgrade any ANTI-AIR/GROUND towers that you are weak on.

 

This other optional method is by creating a short cut for your units. Make sure you have a GATEWAY at the very top middle of the level, that way, your SWITCHBALLS and TANKS can bypass 2, even 3 unneccessary enemy Pulsar towers.

 

 

Level 28 (Helios) - Again thanks LoVeRiCe!

 

I beat it in 6 mins 10 seconds. *Perfect* in 10 easy steps.

 

1)You start out the game with $1000. You have to be quick about this, first off make 2 Basic Ops at the very top center so that it blocks off the backdoor from the right. Immediately upgrade both the Basic Ops to "Drones" by doing so, it will cost you $600 altogether ($400 remains).

 

2)Now make a Laser Towers on both left and right of your HQ, so that's 2 Laser Towers. Next, run down under the rock just under your HQ and make 3 Laser Towers, bringing you a total of 5 Laser Towers, no need to upgrade them. This will cost you $150 ($250 remains).

 

3)Quickly run over to just the left of your HQ and line up from the last rock with 3 Pulsar Towers Horizontal. Then quickly run straight down halfway towards the Enemy's HQ and just outside you should make 2 Pulsar Towers just above the rocks, but make sure the Pulsars are directly diagonal to 2 enemy Laser Towers, if you place them correctly, your Pulsars will attack their Laser *keep this in mind for later steps because you will have to keep an eye out for this nearly half the game because the very second the enemy laser tower is destroyed, you have to be very quick and place another Pulsar before they can rebuild a new Laser there* (Your broke now =P).

 

4)By 1 minute and 45 seconds in, you should have 6 Pulsars lined up at the topleft corner, failure to do so will result in enemy Torpedos to run right through. You should also have 8-9 Lasers in the center of the map just under our previous ones. If everything is there, then you're in good shape soldier.

 

5)I hope you're keeping up with the Pulsar harassment with the enemy Lasers at the bottom left corner near their HQ because this will make or break the game for you. By now, 2-4 enemy Lasers at their HQ should have been destroyed and replaced with your own Pulsar to harass the other enemy Laser at their HQ.

 

6)This is very important, collect and drag EVERY Astroid passing through even if it cot you your spacecraft. You will need every resource, you can let some small ones go, but don't let any big ones pas you by.

 

7)3 minutes in you should have about 12-15 Pulsars lined up in a maze and about 20-24 Lasers massed in the cneter of the map.

 

*Optional)You can save up to $300 and then make another Basic Ops with "Drones", but be warned that this can cost you the game or beat the game faster for you, that's all on you.

 

8)Keep massing Lasers in the center, you should have 30-35 Lasers by 5 minutes in and about a long maze of Pulsars most of the left side of the map, which should probably consist of at the very least 25 Pulsars. *If you ask why so many, that's why it's very important to gather every Astroid that come flying by, you will need all the resource.

 

9)Remember back in step 3, well, you should by now destroyed all but 3 enemy Lasers at their HQ and had replaced them with your Pulsars. Why can't you attack the other 3 enemy Lasers is because it's blocked by enemy Pulsar. *Don't bother trying to take it out, waste of money and time.

 

10)Simply place a WayPoint right above the rocks at the left side of the map where your maze of Pulsars should be. Now all you do is keep up with the mass Lasers and the maze of Pulsars until your attack count of Drones is at 150. NOW SEND all your Drones and immediately sell all your Basic Ops because you won't need them anymore, but you will need some money to upgrade any Lasers and/or Pulsars, because at this point, tey will be sending everything they have to get to your base first. Oh yeah, do not forget, after selling your Basic Ops to block off the backdoor with any tower you wish.

 

If everything was done correctly, it's a guarantee flawless victory.

Video soon!

Any ideas for triple decker tank? I'm on that mission but can't figure it out. I know all the shortcuts so if you need them let me know, but I doubt you didn't figure it out master of tower strategy games. lol

 

I just picked it up last night, and am stuck at work till 7pm mst tonight. I'm up all night getting ready for 36 hours from now night shift :D Feel free to post what you've got, and hypothesis.

 

The words 'triple decker' make me think you have to strategically release 3 groups of them, then break 2 shortcuts at just the right time so they all end up on top of each other. give me...5 hours and I'll work on it :D

 

I sent you a friends request, maybe we can assist each other on this.

 

Excellent!

Already got 100% on this.

 

For the tank one, you know how you kinda have that big circle loop that splits into two paths? Just open and close one side to make them go back and forth and clutter up (they'll need to backtrack to go the other way and will "merge" in with the other tanks).You'll need to do that a few times and the Trophy should pop up.

 

I used a whole ****load of tanks though, which was probably excessive, and I don't know if numbers are a factor or not. I took over the enemies side completely though, so I could casually take my time :D.

I'll try and get a video of this up tonight :D

thanks man yeah i think you need a whole shit load, cuz half of the yellow bar wasn't enough. thanks for clearing it up. Does the game get much harder?

 

(Looks at the last two real levels, not those lame get your scout to the base before the enemy gets to yours levels) Yeah it get's harder. You need to be quick and know what you're doing. Oh, and ****ing lasers.

 

I had a rough time when I first picked up the game (just learning what does what and such), but I've got a very good grasp on things now. Needs more levels.

Yeah i finished the game today. On the final level I literally took over the whole map. I know i didn't get a high score or anything but damn it was fun watching the bad guy scrounge up what he could to mount an attack.

 

Edit: My strategy for the whole game was pretty much a few rows of laser around my base and back and forth paths with the electrical weapons. This pretty much won the game for me.

On that last level, I more or less muscled my way through (did this with most levels though). Literally made a long path using Pulsars, and used some Thieves to pretty much keep all the ground enemies away. Tons of Laser towers to fend off the flying enemies. I was careless though and like 5 of them slipped though... (+100 seconds on my time :()

 

I ignored the game's hint too. I used Drones. Sure there's a bunch of laser towers on the enemy's side, but if you get rid of them (use bombers) and use a waypoint...

I never bothered to look at the guides, mainly cause I was too lazy. I ike figuring things out, but not to the point where i get frustrated with it. In pixeljunk , I did all the easy levels and one medium on the first island and did one or two easy levels on the second island ( the expansion ).

Okay - if you only 'liked' the easy on pjm, and could only do lvl 1 and 2 on savage moon, you probably are wasting your time with this game.

 

A lot of the savage moon stuff (the suggestions on how to be good at it, not specifially how to do it - at the start) is I think a good intro to some games of this style.

 

At the most basic, you need to balance range, power (strength), splash damage or direct damage, and which offensive units in this game.

Can anyone help with level 26? I had no problems getting to this stage, but I can't seem to get a good balance of defence/offence on this one. My last tactic looked like it would almost work, which was to build zapper towers in a vertical row before the AI could build in that position....it's the spot where they start with a single turret, and if you don't build there, they build a vertical row like I've described.

 

I can get a good enough defense setup which can last until they throw everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) at me, but I don't have enough to attack with. If I try scaling back my defense at the start to setup some offence, I let too much through.

 

What tactic did everyone use on this one?

Well SKArcade, wish I could help you out here, but unfortunately, I've struggle on this level myself. However, the way I approach every level is by not listening to the hints given on each level, I go at it my own unique, but risky ways, which is why Im ranked #1 on almost the whole game =). I'm pretty sure level 26 hinted that you should "Defend with Lasers, Attack with Drones."

 

BUT... if you're eager to beat it with another routh, then by all means do what I do. Instead of going offensive with DRONES... FORGET THE DRONES altogether, instead, try going SwitchBalls and Tanks. You would only need approximately a dozen Switchballs and a very good amount of tanks, I'd say about 4 times the amount of damage needed to destroy their base. Though I still did apply the MASS LASER hint. You'll need it for enemy CARREIRS(with Torpedo) and DRONES.

 

Make sure when you send ALL your 12-20 or so Switchballs, sell the Special Ops and Basic Ops right away and then immediately send ALL your TANKS. Used the funds you gained from selling the Ops and upgrade any ANTI-AIR/GROUND towers that you are weak on.

 

This other optional method is by creating a short cut for your units. Make sure you have a GATEWAY at the very top middle of the level, that way, your SWITCHBALLS and TANKS can bypass 2, even 3 unneccessary enemy Pulsar towers.

 

I dunno, I have trouble getting to the number 1 rank on this level, every other level is a piece of cake. Anyways SKArcade, good luck beating this level.

 

If you need any hints on any other level, then that wouldn't be much of a problem, I don't mind sharing my tactics...... besides, I would love the competition.

Thanks for the tips....I still can't get this one done, though. However, I just noticed the gold trophy isn't for finishing every level on Ranked, just the last level. So, I gave in and completed the level on Beginner difficulty (which I had no idea up until now you could do!).

 

Now on to the last level.....no Beginner this time!!! :)

I'm looking forward to the video for Level 28, I can last a good 10 min. in the level, I just can't get my guys over to there base without getting destroyed. I can't see how Carrier's work in this level because they get shot down way to early.

 

 

I'll tell you how I play this level and it should be really easy to follow. I beat it in 6 mins 10 seconds. *Perfect* in 10 easy steps.
