100% completion in under 1 hour

I was able to 100% this game in under an hour with this strategy.

It's a little grindy, but it's the fastest way I can think of to complete the game.

1. Get to level 5.

Level 5 is going to be where you will be doing the majority of your farming for stats and power ups. The boss is really easy once you get the timing down.

2. 100% all stats and get all of the powerups.

Completing level 5 gets you 800-900 medals per completion and because it's only two waves, you'll be getting your medal count fast. Note: You will need all of the power-ups because it's not just an achievement in this game but the vehicles have a LOT of HP. It's absolutely necessary.

3. Complete the remaining levels

Hope to whatever God you believe in that RNG doesn't screw you over during your early waves when you're putting down your first group of cannons. Sometimes the game likes to stack 2-4 units in a single line. In later levels the cannons go from the initial 100 to 300 cost, which can set you back for powerups if they are destroyed.

4. Clean-up

You don't need to 3-star every level to get the General rank achievement, but the earlier levels are much easier to 3-star with 100% stats than the later ones (obviously). The achievements where you have to kill a certain number of units should have come relatively naturally in the last few levels, but if not then just pick the easiest level where they show up.

Other notes:
- Fire before enemies come on screen

This might sound a little weird but you want to cycle through firing all of your available cannons before enemies show up. This will preserve your cannon HP because units with guns tend to shoot at you when they're still very high up on the screen. You can rest during the intermissions between waves but start again at the 2-3 second mark.

- Don't try to click powerups you don't need

Powerups are relatively useless in this game. You'll get money when you have all your powerups unlocked, health when it only heals your base and not your cannons, medals when you've 100%'d everything and bombs that seem to be completely ineffective in taking out enemies.

Okay, the bombs aren't THAT useless, but the closer they get to your cannons, the more likely you are to drag your cannon out of place instead of firing at an enemy.

- The bonus stage is (edit: kind of) broken.

For some reason, after completing the game I unlocked the achievement by going to other screens. It probably "unlocked" twenty or so times before I gave up trying to get it to register on the achievements screen, but if you see it pop up, it means you got the achievement on Steam.

Edit: I apparently got the bonus stage to work after exiting and restarting the game. I don't know how this fixed it.

bonus stage worked fine for me .. you arent missing much, i got bored after wave 60ish (500K) and just quit.

Yeah. Apparently I had to restart the game for it to work for some reason. I ended up playing the bonus stage while I waited for cards to pop up so I could be eligible for booster packs.
