Attack the Block: Shoot'em Up

Im updating my review after playing for a while: the game started out great, but after progressing to a certain point the game stops letting you progress. The power ups delivered during gameplay stop coming. I can make it to the level boss without hitting a single thing, but my shooting power is so low from no power ups available that it's not worth shooting the boss for the next five minutes just to destroy him. The power ups were delivered consistently during the lower levels, but not further in the game and it forced you to simply replay the same level twenty times to try beating it. It has stopped being fun and is simply monotonous now. If no update comes soon, I'll be uninstalling it. It's quickly turning in to a cash grab to progress

I love this game but now I'm on level 83 and perfectly stuck. My ship is totally maxed out, but can't go any further because it just can't do enough damage to continue. The levels and ships don't scale together and it breaks the game very quickly. Instead of locking ships by level maybe unlock requirements could be connected to the previous ship's upgrades or based on rank. The game is nearly perfectly ruined because of this problem

I like the game but you seem to get punished for upgrading and buying a new ship. Balance is off. when I upgrade, I can barely get passed the 2nd formation and with max weapon, it barely clears it. It cost too much to upgrade the magnet. You lose all upgrades when you get a new ship so it's almost pointless to get one when the ship you upgraded before is more powerful. The developers need to make some changes to make the game more enjoyable.
