Should come after level 5. :S\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, there's a bug that resets the score after each level leading one of our belated testers to think the whole game reset after each level.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the comments, both praise and constructive criticism. :)"},{"author_name":"funkbob","author_uid":"16980","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1377625380,"text":"There is a boss! the waves you complete are actually different levels (you see the background change), you get to fight the mech, nicely animated but sooo tough.

Gameplay wise i could just stand in the left center and spam bullets and clear the level. The boss seemed almost unbeatable, no way near at winning against it.
