I did get hit a number of times this time, but... I was hoping he'd feed me more Mutalisks and ran around just not shooting when I could for most of the time, I was playing really sloppily because I was lazy, and the damage I did take... I lost maybe half my health, which I could just ignore anyways (restore was researched).
(out of curiosity, are the mutalisks unlimited? Or random? Something else?)
This I noticed, though by the time I could afford to spend 35 minerals on an impermanent boost, my strategy consisted, basically, of "run away for a few seconds, fire into the now-clustered trail of enemies, run straight through their faces for minerals, repeat". Stims would still be useful, but a lot of their value is lost by then when getting hit a bunch of times is guaranteed by my strategy.
Hadn't noticed that, might utilize it a bit more (i.e. at all) in the future then. =)
In the 1200s, I believe. Not sure. I noticed that the topright works properly - kind'f hard not to when you know about the cheatcode.

I am wondering about mutas in boss level as well. In any case you should make that it spawns muta/s when it has certain level of health left. So a fixed limit of mutas spawn each time.

Kakulza spawns muta's randomly, but limited to 10 (so you cant keep farming)
the optimal strategy would be to wait until you have killed 10 mutas before killing him, spawning them on different health levels is a good idea, its just a bit inconvenient to code.. (probably need 10 separate conditions, or a function so complex that i might aswell just use 10 separate conditions)

Since they are limited to 10, it's good as it is.

I've a couple of questions:
1. Are there any factors in one's score other than number of what types of enemies killed, number of minerals picked up, and Royal Assassin?
2. Are there any random factors, such as in how many enemies spawn?

No there isn't. Level 5-8 makes the difference.

And enemies spawn the same every time.

Actually some of the enemies are a bit random, so the score could differ slightly by pure luck, but it shouldn't be to much of a problem, and i can fix it so its even more stable.

Anyone tried out the ensnare with 'R' and right click? its not very good atm, but just wait until next version.

I am working on my own community\blog for the game, as you can see here:
http://www.softwarewolf.net/scgol/

i will clean it up a bit to remove wordpress default stuff etc tomorrow.

What kind of difference might it make?
I tried seeing how high a score I could at all get, using cheats to give myself infinite psionic storm. My two tries varied by just about 1000 points - I'd be surprised if I didn't miss any minerals, but 500 seems difficult to imagine.

Well until level 5 I have the same mineral amount every time. I don't pay that much attention later on. Maybe I should.

I deceided to try this game out because I happen to love SC and a friend of mine recommeneded it to me, managed to get 2nd high score (Go me) and I was trying to get higher, was on the 5th lvl, full research, 5th weapon, was having no issues, then near the middle...my gun went from shooting off high powered plasma, to gatling gun. Figured it would fix itself and just kept running around killing the few ultralisks I had left and uprgraded with the minerals I made, looked to make sure I had the plasma gun upgraded, clicked to make sure I couldn't get it again and went onto the lvl, assuming it was fixed, fired off a few rounds and it was still the gatling gun...some sort or bug or something in the game? Thought I would bring it up incase it screws with a few other people.

You probably hit '2' by mistake, because 1,2,3,4,5 changes the current weapon

i need to take a break from developing for a few days since i have a lot of schoolwork to do, and i am fixing up my flash game that can be found here!

Starcraft Goliath might be converted to flash as well

I think the application version seemed better. Lag makes it harder.

Doesn't work without facebook account. Where can I play/dl it?

If you don't got facebook you can play it here: http://gameyey.com/starcraftgoliath.htm

Would it be possible to have the enemies spawn over a longer period of time in the later levels?

well yeah, but then it would be a lot easier.
i think i just need to make some new enemies that are harder, and figure a way so theres never more than about 30 at the same time.
