Frantic Frigates

I mostly agree with the review, although I thought the purpose of starting money was to gradually lower the difficulty and give an incentive for achievements...

Just my thought.

An easy 5 stars from me.

I do wish it were longer, but I appreciate a short game like this that lets me perfect my skills and my upgrade path from the beginning.

I'd like a sort of "pure" option where I get to start with $0.00, just as a challenge, but I'm addicted to restarting with a powered-up ship each time.

They could have been more inventive with the enemies and bosses, but this has a simple, classic feeling to it. I actually go "AARRRGH" when I get hit sometimes. Sweet game.

Enjoyed this game a lot until I got to end game, at that point it becomes about tedioum instead of fun, there simply isn't enough challenge when you final boss goes down to warrant trying for a highscore. As the game stands by itself, it's a lot of fun and took me three tries to get through it but the further draw (IE, the endless mode) could use a notch in difficulty to make it a little tedious when shooting for highscores. Some of the ones up there are ridiculous, after half hour play I was sitting at something like 50,000 when people have upwards of 200,000. Who wants to do that!

Anyway, I'd still give it a 5/5, or maybe 4.5. Do recommend.

Does anyone know how to get the medal envolving Lachhh the Pirate? or the medal for Defeat the thunder?

This game was great.

To the poster above, the Thunder is the final boss ship. I assume you have to sign up for a third party offer to get the other medal. Personally, I am totally against things like that. They load their site down with ads everywhere and they still try to scam you out of money for a measly bonus in a Flash game.

Just wanted to add on to what I said. JIG is the only flash game site that I allow ads on. Every other Flash game site gets blocked. I do this because JIG actually writes decent reviews on everything they post. All the others seem to just dump things on their site, probably without asking for permission, too.

[Thank you for the support! Ad revenue is critical to our survival. Paying the review team is the site's largest expense, and it consumes most of our revenue each month. And we do communicate with developers and request permission to host games here at JIG. Thanks again, your support is very much appreciated! :) -Jay]

to the guest who asked about lachhhh the pirate you must click out of the screen (pausing it) then wait a while until a dude comes up. when he says "come on ill give you some money" or whatever it is, simply click back to the game
also "thunder" is the name of the fourth and final boss, the game says there are three bosses but once you defeat the third he starts flashing as all the bosses do once killed and becomes "thunder" a ghost ship that is quite difficult to kill without some of the upgrades

I cannot stop playing this game. :-) Very well done.

i cant seem to pause the game by clicking off the game window. ill never get the lachhh cash.

you have to right click to get lachhh the pirate from what i can tell, clicking off screen didn't work for me either

Is there a list of achievements somewhere? (not medals)

How I got the free gold from Lachhh the pirate:
1.Play game
2.Click on start menu button/windows key on keyboaard
It should work.
