Tips

• you can pause the game with 'P'
• constant movement and using the environment is a key for success
• moving on roads is a big advantage when you're in trouble
• different enemies have different sight radius and different rate of fire
• enemy shells can be shot down, but laser, mortars, rockets and flamethrower not (of course)
• destroyed enemy hulls remain, but are destroyable as well if needed
• use the directional radar to be prepared for enemies, to locate distant enemies and to find pickups
• drones alert all enemies in a big area of your presence, so shooting them down should be a priority
• the boss starts new drones when the old ones are shot down
• flamethrowers even penetrate forests, so you're not safe behind if you're still near
• there are still some development cheats in the game - see if you can find them ;)

Known issues

• none atm :)
