Players are encouraged to develop strategies, tactics and techniques to get ahead, score the highest number of points and to survive the greatest amount of game levels. Target prioritizing is important, although it may not seem to be much of an issue in the lower levels of the game, target prioritizing will become progressively more important and crucial as the game advances and grows in difficulty. Prioritizing can make the whole difference in a level, which may seem impossible to defeat. What targets to destroy first, what weapons to use when, against what targets and in what order are variables which will directly affect your success in the game. As the game progresses and players learn how to be more effective it's only fair that the enemy (each weapon and the army as a whole) also learns from their own mistakes and becomes progressively more effective. Consequently, the enemy will get smarter as the game progresses and employ better tactics and strategies against the player. Individual weapons will get smarter, harder to hit and more effective and the entire enemy attack will become better coordinated and effective. Please note: Each wave and level is designed to be different with different types of weapons employed in different order, in different numbers and combinations.
