Maybe I was missing something, but there was no actual escorting in the escort mission. The only difference from a regular mission that I saw was that there were ally ships in the background and the enemies were making lewd jokes.
And if you think your weapons aren't any good in this game, then you're doing something very wrong. I'm only on level 6 or so and my firepower already is most impressive. You can sell everything back for exactly as much as you paid for it so I highly recommend trying out difference combinations of weapons, upgrades, and ships in the training zone in between levels to find the best configuration for you.
I gave up on the 'Perfect' level. I got to the boss, and I had optimized my firepower for full frontal slaughter. But oh hey, this is a boss that likes to A.) ram you and/or B.) park directly above you and fire homing missles. That was certainly fucking retarded.
Man, I wish there was an option to control it with a game controller instead of the keyboard. I'm absolute shit at controlling games with a keyboard. Oh well.
...there is. You simply hit a gamepad button/direction rather than a keyboard key in the controls config.

Actually, after playing around a bit more with it, I find that it's not really a bad game or anything, but rather that it seems to really, really place an emphesis on off-axis shooting - I used to go with a pair of daisycutters in the front until the second level really began to fuck me up, but when I switched to even-leveled radiators with a good dose of bomb spamming things got noticibly easier. And if anyone was put off by my last comment about escorts, I retract, as it's an escort in name only and the ships are intangable (thank goodness).
It's "different", but for the price I paid it's pretty fun.
Yeah, I noticed that multi-directional attacks were essential starting at a very early stage. Level 3 utterly demolished me several times until I threw on an upgraded diagonal gun (4 way diagonal front and back) and then it was much more manageable.
Alright, so I played through a few levels, with cheats, and there are still so many cheapshots. It seems all of the extra levels are really poorly designed in comparison to the regular ones.
I downloaded this the first time it was free, but didn't install it in time. Got it right this time. Played through a bit - I have to agree with people who say it's full of cheap shots.
I got to a point where I was attacked by a large number of flying beer bottles, which either means I'm too sober, too drunk, or need to go to bed. Or that the game is just that fucked up, but that didn't occur to me at the time.
I beat the game a few hours ago. It really isn't that bad at all. I didn't spend any money of missiles or bombs until a mission that sorta required bombs {it will tell you}. The hardest mission was probably the one where you have to collect the DNA samples. I don't remember what kept killing me, but it did like 20 times. The last 3/4ths of the game is a cake walk.

That was indeed the hardest level, but it still wasn't too bad.
The trick, for those having difficulty, is to realise that you;re meant to reconfigure your ship to suit the mission, rather than just stricking with one design. Since you can sell back all upgrades at full price, there's no reason not to.
The gold bonus missions seem to be rather harder that the original levels, but they are also frankly more interesting. Especially the zombie safari.
In other words, this is a pretty great game.

This is what I'm seeing on the website: Is this deal still live?

Well, they do usually charge $30 for it, so I'd imagine a lot of the criticism is sort of based on "would this have been worth $30?"
I personally prefer the "gimmicky" levels
Much more imaginative
