Hi!

Its me again! The guy that found the "falling exploit".

Must admit Mr. jwiggs that the last update has done mucho for the game. I love the new mechanics and the new forge.


I found another "strategy" to win the game easily. I noticed that now the enemies must "follow" you wherever you go so now i just get myself a great horizontal module early game and just fly all the time to the right (or left, the important of this strateggy relies on the side movement).

The enemy then will have to go for you  being "pulled" by you. Bcs of your speed the enemy's bullets wont hurt you (maybe just the rockets) and you just have to aim "backwards" and the enemy will get all your bullets bcs its being pulled.


A posible bug is the ammo box. I "installed" two of those in a double rocket i have and now it will only shoot once in all the fights (then it will be freeced) :(


Hope you can fix that and keep up!

I love the game :D

Hello again!

It is really nice to see players sticking around, even a while without updates.

Due to the lack of testing in the last update, the game has been extremely easy to beat by simply running away and firing backwards. This was not an intended play style and  really takes away all the strategy elements of the game that make it really awesome.

Yes, I am also aware of some forging bugs that can occur when you use certain tech like the ammunition box or rocket propellant, and am actually working on forge changes this coming week, so I will bear it in mind.

If you thought the last update was awesome, this next update is going to blow your mind! Pretty much every system in the game has gotten an upgrade! Looking back its actually crazy how many changes there have been. 

Thanks once again! It really is because of players like you that I am able to keep doing what I am doing!

I had the exact same problem. I beat the game in under 3 hours, only lost one life, just by flying to the left. Instead of having the enemy get pulled to you, maybe they teleport to your left? Or just get pulled closer?

But still, I love what the last update brought to Islands of War, and I can't wait for the next one.
